Marvelous Monday

Yesterday was a really great day, full of surprises. I thought Marvelous Monday was very fitting as our reading vocabulary word yesterday in my 2nd grade class was "marvelous." It came from Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss. In case you're not a teacher or don't have school-aged children, yesterday was Dr. Seuss's birthday so we are celebrating Dr. Seuss Week. It is one of my absolute favorite times of the school-year! I'll try to post some fun pics of Seuss stuff later this week. 

Dr. Seuss now shares his birthday with a very beautiful little girl named Lorelei Posey. One of my dear friends and former roommate, Kathy, gave birth to Little Miss Lorelei yesterday morning! She arrived 2 weeks early, so it came as a surprise to get the text from Kathy Sunday night/Monday morning at 1:48 AM letting us know she was at the hospital and that sweet Lorelei would be here soon! Damaris, Kathy, and I lived together for the last 2 years of college and had such fun together! Kathy is extra special to me b/c she introduced me to my amazing hubby. 

The last adventure came right after we left the hospital room. Damaris, Ryan, and I were stuck in the elevator in the parking deck at Brookwood for approximately 28 minutes. :) Surprisingly, I wasn't scared. If that's not proof of God delivering me from fear, I don't know what is. It was quite an exciting day!
