A Lovely Weekend

Here I am! A friend of mine told me today she was sad because I hadn't posted in a few days, and to be honest, I'm sad too! The past few days have been so crazy and I have been having blogging withdrawals. I mean, I was on a roll about a week ago.

So what has been going on... Ha. Everything.

First of all, before I lose your interest, I had a profound thought. I don't have these very often, but hey, every now and then it happens! This profound thought was about dating. Now, let me preface this a little bit. I dated the same guy through most of high school and for a little while at college, but it didn't work out. Well, whenever I was (and still am) asked about why we broke up, it was always hard for me to put it into words without being extremely long winded. However, this past weekend I had a revelation of what really went on in that situation and what probably goes on in most situations, and that is this: Every girl wants to be taken care of (true? yes) and (hopefully) every guy wants a girl that he can take care of. Whoa! So true! I mean, that is exactly what happened in my situation. And this can be really spiritual too. If the guy is called to be the spiritual leader of the household, but the girl or the wife is more spiritual, then of course things are gonna be out of whack. I don't know, maybe you already knew this, maybe I'm catching on a little late... but I thought it was good.

Anyways, this past weekend was so. much. fun. On Friday night (my first free Friday night in quite a while) I went to see my cousin Lauren's first softball game. She did great! It kind of made me miss my middle school-softball-playing days, but not really. I was actually a horrible softball player; I'm a much better do-anything-but-play-sports kind of person. 

On Saturday, my sisters, my mom, my grandmother, and I went to a mother/daughter worship service and tea party. My sisters and I led praise and worship and my mom was the special speaker for the day. She did a fabulous job. She talked a lot about just being a mother and all the great memories she has, and all the wonderful times she has had with my sisters and I, but then she related it to how the church is a mother to sinners and how we ought to love those who come into the church as our own children. She was great.

On Saturday night we had a movie night at the church. We watched the new Narnia movie, which I loved. I mean, I'm just a Narnia fan. I read all the books, I watch all the movies. Maybe I'm a nerd, I'm not really bothered by it :) Then I stayed up preparing for Sunday school the next morning and talking on the phone, which was probably not the best decision... turns out I needed my beauty sleep because....

On Sunday morning we had awesome church! AND we had special visitors :) My friends Joseph and Jara and their mom, Kathy came to visit and we had just a good ol' time worshiping the Lord. Of course, Sunday was mother's day and we celebrated Mom all day and that was fun too.

And now it's Monday, May 9, 2011. Who knew it would come so soon? And it's finals week. Bluck. Actually, not bluck. Finals week isn't all that bad because there are no classes and I just have to take three tests and I get to hang out with friends and par-tay (in the most non-typical-college way) all week. So yay! It's gonna be a good week!
