Rainy Monday... and Day 4 of the Picture Challenge

Today is a yucky rainy, stormy day.  I want to stay inside all day.  But alas, I can't do that for meetings and office visit require my attendance.  However, I will say that I have been very productive this morning and already been to a convo event, had 2 judicial meetings, worked on my weekly report, and starting to get caught up with other judicial things and my to do list for the week.  So I'm feeling pretty good about today!  I just hope the storms don't turn into anything too serious or else I'll have several nervous freshmen on my hands. I've noticed that a large hand full of them get very nervous when the weather gets bad. I hope they know that my staff and I are trained to help keep them safe and inform them of inclement weather to keep them alert.  Bless their hearts! :)
I like days when I feel very productive and check a lot of things off my to-do list. It makes me feel accomplished and as if I had a successful day at work rather than a boring day at work.  Mind you, most of my days are very busy and I'm constantly on the go so I often feel like I had a successful day at work.  When I worked in another complex, I would often find myself looking for other things to do and there wasn't much to do some days. I think that changes with the demographic of your complex.  Upperclassmen= not needy students and pretty much keep to themselves.  Freshmen = needy, question hungry, conflict brewing, passive aggressive little thinkers.  :)  But I love it!!!  Most of my residents are really awesome students and fun to be around and to watch them grow.  However, there are a handful that require a lot of discipline and attention and they really should have stayed in high school one more year before going to college because they just weren't ready for it yet.  Alas, I'm sure the truth will be revealed at the end of the semester when grades come out!

I thought that I'd go ahead and do day 4 of the picture challenge.  Day 4: A Picture of Your Night
Well, technically its afternoon, but I'm already pretty sure what my evening will look like tonight and if that changes course, I'll update you tomorrow.  Same typical routine--Tim will come over after I get done w/ work, we'll make dinner and hang out, and talk.  We were gonna go for a walk today, but I think it's going to still be raining then so that's probably a no go.

Tonight, Tim and I are making Honey BBQ Chicken (with a homemade BBQ sauce) with a baked potato and veggies/salad for dinner.

Then we'll probably watch our new favorite TV show while we discuss wedding guest lists and such. Have you ever watched The Big Bang Theory?  Very funny show!!  (Thanks to our good friends Josh & Katie for introducing this to us!)

We need to work on getting the guest list number to come down a bit! oy!

That will probably sum up our evening. I know we led such exciting lives these days. :)

Ephesians 1:7 "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace."  Just a reminder of God's unconditional love for us.

Happy Monday!
