6:26 a.m.

What a great weekend! Friday night the Good Reverend turned into a gourmet chef, as he does most nights of the week. We have a great system- he cooks, I set the table and do the little things, and then we eat then I clean. It's really quite lovely. Anyway, after we ate, we went to Market Square and saw Audio Adrenaline perform. It really touched my inner middle schooler because I remember them and DC Talk when I was at the ripe age of 12. We didn't stay for too very long because it was pretty cheesy.

Saturday was the big day. We went to Atlanta to a Braves/Red Sox game for my birthday! Well, before that we took my car to Honda for an oil change, where Jack made a friend in the waiting room. Every where we go, people just want to talk to him and tell him about their entire lives. It's really quite incredible. He does present a kind heart and listening ear, but it's just so funny how people start talking to him. So after the conversation with the nice man in the waiting room, we began our journey to ATL. What a great trip! We listened to NPR until we lost it to static, but we both just really enjoyed our jaunt in the car. We got to the stadium about 30 minutes before the game. You can tell where we were sitting by the picture in the previous post. It was great! But so very hot. There were way more Red Sox fans than Braves' fans, which was surprising. And even though my team lost, it was still cool to be there and do the old school CHOP CHOP.

So today when I was walking to class, it started to rain. So I pulled my umbrella out of my giant purse, which also contained a turkey sandwhich and a CS Lewis book. (I like to see how random the contents of my purse can sound.) I noticed that NO ONE else had an umbrella or rain jacket. I thought, do I just look really OLD right now or just extra prepared or are people thinking, man that girl is smart. There are advantages to being an "older" student because I pay attention to things like the weather and carry things like umbrellas and am not afraid to use them.

Today has been such a bizarre day at the front desk of WVLT. A girl came in ready to take her liquor licensing exam. She was so shocked when I told her this was not the building she was looking for. She said, "But isn't this Big Daddy's?" And I said, "Oh dear..." It was one of those times where I really wanted a funny response but was just too taken aback to say anything.

Today is Cousin Jodie's due date! I know she is just longing to have little Felicity born today. So pray for Jode! I know she's uncomfortable. Cousin Jill is supposed to call me the MOMENT something happens.

And the reason my title today is 6:26 is because that's what time my body naturally wakes up. It's so irritating because I don't have to get up until 6:45 or later. It drives me crazy. And makes me so tired! So while we pray for Jodie, let's pray for me to sleep past 6:26 in the morning! Jack so kindly says that sleeping in for me is 6:27.
