1. I have recently become obsessed with the AMC show, "The Walking Dead." I'm late to the party, I know, and I can't even really explain why I'm becoming so emotionally involved in a show about a zombie apocalypse, but I just cannot stop watching it. Maybe now I'll have regular people nightmares about creatures of the night instead of about construction projects and volunteers.
2. Amber and I just got back from Wyoming County Day in Charleston, WV and it was so great. We spent most of the day at our booth in the capitol building (which is a gorgeous building, by the way) speaking with locals, state senators and delegates, and making new connections with other business and organizations from our county. It seemed a little silly that we all had to travel to Charleston just to meet other folks from this county, but in the end it was great to have everyone interacting. For the evening we were invited to the Governor's mansion for "heavy hors d'oeuvres" (their words, not mine) and light conversation. We met the governor and the first lady and they seemed to be really glad to learn about the positive things we are doing in West Virginia.
3. I am beyond excited to come home for Easter, stopping in Ann Arbor to see friends at my favorite restaurant on Thursday and then see my family and puppy! I'm driving home with Amber, so that will obviously be eventful, but in the fun way!
4. I'm starting to stress out a lot about medical school applications-- particularly my personal statement. Not to say that I'm something really incredible that can't be expressed in words, but I'm seriously struggling to put together all the things in my life that have led to this choice and this path. That's when the voice creeps in to say, "If you don't know exactly why you want to be a doctor, maybe you don't really want to be one?" So that makes things a bit rough.
5. I need suggestions for morning devotions. Sounds bad but I'm pretty sick of the ones I wrote based on various parables/stories/verses. I could use some new material or just thoughts-- let's face it, being a spiritual leader is pretty hard work (shout-out to all the people in my life who do that on a regular basis) and I think everyone knows how it feels to need a little spirit refreshment. So...before 7am tomorrow would be great! :)
