Friday Four (I couldn't think of one more!)

It's been a while since I've talked about what's going on in my life, so I suppose I'll do that today!

-Everything is finally starting to slow down in my life, for the first time in a month! The first half of May, for me, was quite the whirlwind, what with graduation and everything else. Then, during the week following my graduation, I helped at a field day at Cody's school, my cousin Liz graduated from high school, a close family friend got married, and we went to an ice cream social in celebration of Liz's graduation. (That was all in one weekend) The only big thing on my agenda now is my family's upcoming trip to the lake this weekend! I think I need that after all of the hustle & bustle!

-I have since began my new (well, not really new) job of babysitting my nephews, Cody & Kyle. I enjoy it, because I get to spend some time with my nephews before I go to college next year, and I get to earn some extra money while I'm at it!

-Last week, I was asked to serve at the Confirmation Mass tonight at Hennessey, so I those are my pressing plans for tonight. I get to meet and serve with our new Archbishop, which I am pretty pumped about! Also, **hopefully** I get to see a couple of my good friends from my confirmation class, who I haven't got to see in a while; I can't wait! :)

-Thankfully, the greater Enid area was spared from the wrath of the tornadoes that passed through on Tuesday; however, not everyone fared so well. Just seeing the pictures of the damage blows my mind, because it seems so unimaginable. My prayers go out to everyone affected by the storms, especially the Hamil family from Piedmont, who lost their 15-month-old and 3-year-old sons in the storm. Scotty, my brother-in-law, was sent to the Falcon Lake area to help search for little Ryan Hamil, though his efforts were fruitless. Such an unfortunate situation...

I hope everyone is having a great week, and will have a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!
