A few thoughts before slumber hits...or i head to the bathroom for some Advil to fight off the headache i've developed most likely due to the storm which is lurking around and about Hamilton. It sure was a crazy show tonight with the lightning being so bright and the storm being so quick and fierce. I'm thankful for a roof over my head and for company with whom to have braved the weather.
This weekend was a full-on, packed out weekend... and my head's reeling a bit from it all. Friday night Timothy came into town and we went out for dinner - in part because i didn't feel like cooking at all - but mostly to celebrate six months of dating - hard to believe time has flown so quickly but we are very happy and it was nice to see each other again after a short work week.
Saturday morning, i enjoyed spending time with some people at church prepping for an afternoon wedding reception - i find it intriguing and fantastic to serve with other people - to see their gifts, talents and personalities coming out in ways that don't always seem to peek out from under starched Sunday collars and jackets... so neat to see everyone working together to get jobs done and to see the final end product ready for the masses to descend upon it and devour all our hard work. I hope to do this more in the future. Saturday afternoon/evening we spent at Mom and Dad's with the whole family joined together to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary of our parents. 40 years is a monumental milestone and we were so happy to be together with all of us, in good health to share a meal and memories, to play games and make new memories to store up and cherish in our hearts and minds. I'm so thankful to God for granting us this many years with my parents, for their wisdom, patience, guidance and love and for blessing them so richly as a couple. It is amazing to think that God has been guiding them as a couple for so many years already and we pray that they will be granted many more years together, that we may stay close as a family and learn more deeply what it is to love each other. I love you guys!
But for now, this has got to be it... my advil bottle is calling me as is my pillow... and i must answer the call!

Hope the Advil took care of your headache! There's a bug going around...
Awesome that you were all able to celebrate your parents anniversary - I didn't see your mom to say "congrats". Certainly a wonderful milestone! God is good!
