Some type of way....

Wasn't it just March? April is here with a vengeance, and surprisingly as I type this from the airport a cold front is rolling in..... Like, coats in April, in south Texas. Almost unheard of. I'm heading to Denver, where it's apparently still snowy, for work this week. I'll be back Friday, which also happens to be Good Friday, as in the Friday before Easter. 

Seriously, why is time moving so fast?

My March was so whirlwind and full of activity that I'm almost let down by how my April has been going. I've been super stressed out lately. Adjusting to a new position with so much more responsibility and bureaucracy has been taking it's toll on me. But I'm sure that God prepared me with the tools I need to be successful. I just need to focus on using them....

I was out and about all weekend. My friends and I have been so busy lately that we decided to set up monthly friend dates to meet up and catch up on life. This past Friday was a dinner date at UP restaurant. This was my first time going, and I was definitely impressed by the ambiance. The food was just ok, but the company and laughs were priceless! 

My friend wanted us all to dress in white, but I've been so exhausted and stressed after work that I didn't have time to go shopping so I kind of broke the rules. Whoops. She survived minus my fashion faux pas. 

Since we were all worn out from the work week, we headed home after dinner and I was sound asleep before 11. 

I woke up early Saturday to run errands before I had to pick up another friend from the airport. Once I scooped her up, we made a detour at Barnes & Noble and I took her to one of my favorite spots in the city for dinner and drinks. 

I definitely am thankful for our one on one time. She gave me some good advice and a ton of confidence boosters in regards to the situation I've been dealing with, with my guy friend. Ugh. It could all be so simple, but you rather make it hard. Had to slip that Lauryn Hill lyric in there, because it expresses exactly how I'm feeling about that topic. But I digress. 

After I dropped her off I was out for the count. 

I could barely drag myself out of bed Sunday morning. I just was not feeling it. Luckily one of the homies suggested we go eat to get out of the house. 

A Belgian waffle and a carafe of mimosas later, I was feeling alive again. 

I did a lot of indulging this weekend. But I guess I deserved it in light of how I've been feeling lately. 

After brunch, I hung out with my guy friend and then met up with my new co-workers later that night for a getting to know you dinner at our GM's house. His house and kids and dogs are gorgeous. I had a good time hanging with them, but I did feel some type of way as everyone shared their marriage stories and talked about their kids. Of course I was the only single person there. I had to ignore the loneliness and just focus on having a good time. I understand that I have to be patient and all that jazz but it's still hard sometimes wondering why things aren't the way you thought they would be. I enjoy my friends, family and freedom, but I still feel unfulfilled without that one missing piece of the equation. But again, I shall digress. 

I stayed up late last night packing, and now I'm excitedly waiting my flight...which has now been delayed due to this crazy Houston weather. I've never been to Denver so I hope I packed accordingly. I'm nervous and anxious for my first trip to our client's head quarters for training.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale, and breathe....
