I flew down for a number of great celebrations this weekend.
*Friday - I'm helping to host a bridal luncheon for Blair Bishop - the daughter of one of my dearest friends, Dana Bishop. What fun to be able to do something special for Blair (whom I have known since she was in the womb! - Dana and I were pregnant at the same time and Blair and Heather were born 3 weeks apart.)
*Friday night - a family get together at Alan's parents' place - good food and good times.
*Saturday - I am helping to host a wedding shower for Drew and Kate. Drew was in youth group when Alan and I were leaders. He was also good friends with both of our daughters. He spent a lot of time at our house and we had so many great shared experiences. I love him like my own and it is so fun to get to meet the woman that has captured his heart!
*Saturday night - Blair's wedding!! This will be so special for so many different reasons. I can't wait to see how absolutely beautiful Blair will be - and I also excited to get to share this time with so many close friends.
*Sunday - I'm heading down to Waco to see my Mom and Dad - and my grandmother. I can't wait to sit on my parent's porch and just RELAX.
All the while - I will also get to be with Ashley, James and Heather (Cooper has something else going on this weekend or he would be here too!)
I am so thankful for the privilege of being involved in these fun events and having people that are this special in my life.
I can't even believe all the awesome people
I get to know.
So - I'm thankful for this weekend away and the opportunity I have to be with friends and family. I'm also thankful that on Tuesday - I get to head back to Chicago to people that make my life so very rich there.
But most of all, I am thankful for Jesus who fills my life with more JOY than I could have ever imagined.
He knows my heart and He delights in filling
it with all the things I love.
I am so very THANKFUL.
i am thankful for your wonderful time here and in your new home, too. what a happy thanksgiving post!
