My bout with Typhoid Fever



Poor JD - His Beiberlicious hair is cut out

 You know that feeling you get when you really really like someone?  The warm fuzzies in the pit of  your stomach. The flushed cheeks. Being intoxicated by their very smell. Well, I haven't felt that in so very long that when the symptoms struck, I thought I had typhoid fever or something.  I was waiting in line at the Post Office in order to mail a very important package (you know...for work), and the door opens, time slows down, the wind picks up, and in swaggers a cowboy. And by cowboy...I mean wrangler wearing, Stetson in hand, ginormous truck outside...bonafide cowboy.  Now there is something you should know about me.  I've never really been into cowboys. I like the Abercrombie models with the washboard stomachs and oiled skin.  You know...the pool boy types.  But this fine specimen of manhood was definitely worth the not-so subtle double take. Do y'all remember that scene in Legally Blonde where the nail lady sees the cute UPS dude and spills the chemicals?  Well, I didn't spill any chemicals, but I did fall down...hard. I even smushed my dang box. Cowboy Dan smiled (though it really was more of a smirk) helped me up and advised me to invest in boots not four inch heels.  He had no idea that those heels were bought on sale, and I looked good wearing them. Huuuuuuuu.  This is when I'm grateful for God's GRACE. and I'm speaking out in FAITH that one day...one fine day....I'm going to meet this cover model for Harlequin Romance novels....and he will fall at MY feet.  Sigh*  A girl can dream.

This blog is going to be a mixture of 2 parts humor and 2 parts seriousness.  I consider myself an enigma and most of the time, I don't even know where I'm going with a thought... This is my attempt at chronicling my adventures and experiences. I want to see growth in my life, spiritually, and emotionally. But definitely not physically...I'm trying to shrink in that area.  I've wanted to start a blog for years, but lacked the motivation and talent to put it all together. I have many friends who are amazing bloggers and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading their stories and seeing their growth.

I want to promise you that this blog will be positive and encouraging.  Life sometimes throws you a curveball, but that's where God's grace comes through.  I am a precious daughter of the most High King, and I want the words coming out of my mouth (or that I type) to reflect my royalty and make Him proud. There will be days that I will blog about things that have gotten me down, but I will always end with "The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever." It's His promise to me, and I take it very seriously.

Many Blessings,
Mary Katherine
