Well, it is Sunday am and I am in the office trying to get this section off to my major prof. My deadline WAS Wednesday. I knew that meeting that deadline would be tough as the first part of the week is always chaotic around here. Last week my parents came up Thursday afternoon and I was so excited when they called Wed. night to say they were coming. I had not seen them since Christmas and I was really, really missing them. With that said I took Friday and Saturday off from writing. Yes, I missed some critical writing time and when I left here thursday at 6 pm to head home and begin visiting I was really on a roll. I made a choice that I will never regret though. I chose to go home and visit with mom and dad. Life is so short and I treasure the time I get to spend with them. The dissertation will always be around.

Saturday night we headed to Just More BBQ in Pendleton where we met up with some of my co-workers. One of my new co-workers is the daughter of the Quattlebaums who own Just More. I have to say it was some good eatin'. WOW. The fellowship was great too! Definately a place that I will be visiting again- SOON.

I miss not being at church this am. Last Sunday I spent the mornng at home writing as well. I hope soon I will not have this distraction looming over me.
