A lot has happened in the world of Lauren since the last post. I got to visit my first satellite location for flu shots in Spartanburg, which was a lot of fun, and then I headed to good ol' Mobile, AL. After working all day Thursday, I drove straight to Mobile and got to visit with all of my besties there and attend a beautiful wedding in Pensacola. The first part of my trip was spent with Nikki and her precious children, Vivi, Luke, and Logan. I was blessed and excited to spend the majority of my Friday with Luke and Logan as Nikki had to work. Logan is 3 months and absolutely precious....but poor baby was sick. Luke is my sweet boy who is so funny. He decided to rename me this weekend to Wanda. We have no idea where it came from, but it brought us all to tears in laughter as he continually called me this. Nikki and I got to have a long-needed "Girls' Night" Friday night. It was great! We had Zia's (one of my fav's) and it wouldn't be a meal with Nikki if we didn't get something free.....she got us a free dessert...AMAZING! After being stuffed there, we went to the mall and did some shopping, then went and saw a movie. It was great to be back with such a close friend. Saturday morning came early and I got to attend my sweet, athletic Vivi's soccer game! She rocked! I was so proud of her.
After the soccer match, I had to rush to get ready for a wedding of my friend April's in Pensacola. It was gorgeous and I was so happy to see her happy. Plus, it was a beautiful drive to and from Pensacola. After the wedding, I came back to spend time with my other bestie, Tiffany. She and I had a wonderful "Girls' Night" as well with dinner at Bonefish Grill! It rocked! Then we went by Target and got some amazing chocolate chip cookie brownies to make. We allowed the boys to join us and we had a great dessert and catch up time. Sunday, I got to spend with Tiff, Johnathan and the growing twins. They are getting way too big and are talking up a storm! Seems like yesterday Brooklyn and Jacob were being held in my arms as babies. Sunday night, Nikki and her fam, Tiffany and the kids, and Cheryl (another friend) and her kids got together at Olive Garden. We had a blast to catch up and enjoy food......can you see my diet was blown this weekend? Anyway, it was great. Monday I got to go to my old work and surprise everyone and catch up with old co-workers. It was then lunch, scrub purchasing, washing the car and back to Columbia.
It was a busy long weekend, but great fun! I miss them so much! Then, it was back to work Tuesday to play catch up on everything I had missed. It was a crazy day. Tuesday afternoon, I had an appointment with Ortho because my foot was not getting better from hurting, but only worse. Well, it seems like I should probably listen to my body when it says I am hurt and not be stubborn and go run further/do the Mud Run injured. Seems I have ruptured my plantar fascia. Rare to do, and I was like,what the heck?!?! But, glad I have figured out why it is hurting. Now I am on strict restrictions with a "sexy" sock to wear to bed that lifts my foot in a very awkward angle (no sleep last night because of it), no weight bearing, no running, heel supports and a horrible injection of medications that I swear was given to me so that I will hurt worse and obey orders. Anyway, that has been my busy week in a "brief" discription.
In this next week, I will be out of town 4 of the 7 days for satellite flu shots, so I am hoping I can walk appropriately. And the whole fam is coming into town for Mom's b-day....so excited! That is about it.....until next time!
