This weekend was great! We got to spend some time with some great friends. This weekend, Roger and I got to help some friends get their house ready for their home visit. They are adopting and their home-visit is on the 11th. So Roger headed up the remodel crew while I got to help rearrange their back room. They have a 17 year old living with them until he finishes high school. So Warren and Lisa decided to convert the office into his own bedroom. They wanted to him to feel at home in their house. so we converted it all on his birthday while he was away at a surprise birthday party. I felt like we were on a design show where you completely rearrange a room in a day. It was wonderful and Warren cooked for us two nights in a row AND gave us the left overs. We are so very blessed. It was a great time with life-giving friends.
Then for the superbowl, we were able to go to a friends house to watch the game. We had a great visit and talked long after the game ended. Had a little trouble getting up this morning but it was so worth it.
It's amazing how God has blessed us recently with such amazing friends. Although I do not consider Shreveport home and don't think that I ever will, having such great friends here has made the experience of living away from our friends at home such better. I am excited about the new friendships that are developing and look forward to growing those friendships. At school, the relationships are not the same and it's easy to get into a negative attitude. Several people would describe themselves, joking or seriously, as miserable. I don't want to be that way. I want to be happy about where I am at. I am in medical school. I worked really hard to get here and I'll have to work really hard to stay. This is what I want to do . Whether I make money at this later or not (Thank you, Obama), this is the career path I want to take. I believe that this is exactly where God has placed me and I plan to enjoy the journey.
I love you all and really miss y'all. Getting a little homesick lately and look forward to seeing each of you soon. Until then, it's back to the book and dinner with some great friends.
