...has been completely insane.
I'm emotionally drained
I'm physically drained
but in a good way.
I got to introduce some people to Mrs. Ashley Smith today, my new sister. I love her beyond words. and I'm so excited for where life is going to bring us. Kara and I hit it off well while she was in town from New Jersey, and I miss her a lot now that she's gone. We'll keep in touch, and it'll give me a great excuse to take a road trip to New Jersey to visit her :-D
The rehersal was a great beginning to the wedding festivities. So, I have this lifehouse CD that Emily burned for me a looooong time ago, and I've been searching for it on and off for MONTHS. I figured I lost it, and i was a little heartbroken. So with everything going on lately, I kind of forgot about it right? well way back when I had it, I played "You and Me" for ray and ashley and said it would be a great song to play at their wedding, (in a joking manner) WELLLLL, at the rehersal, we were all on stage and then all of a sudden ashley says "ok, nw Jenny's CD"...haha. they stole my CD months ago so they could play that song in their wedding. :-D I'm not mad. and that song means waaaaay much more than it meant before anyways. I love them.
the wedding was a blast. I can't believe its already over. but the fam is still in town and thats akward. My grandpa let it slip at the wedding that he had cancer but wouldnt elaborate. my other grandparents were going crazy taking pictures, and I was bonding with ashleys side of the family :) because after all, I have been inducted into their family as Jennifer Lynn Smi-lliams. I love them.
and I'm so exhaused. I need a vacation. but this is a good exhausted. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Now I just need to focus on grand valley stuff, because that is going to come sooner than I expect.
through all of this I'm a little sad though. I've been learning what its like to have family as a big part of life. I've never experienced that before. it's so...comforting. I love it. and i don't think my friends understand that. true, I havent spoken to them in so long, and my phone battery has issues. but I need to tell them that I have a new family and I need to focus on them, because they're becoming the best thing thats ever happened to me.
