The weekend update. . . .
I'm setting in the Student Affairs office and I'm settled into my last two and a half weeks before it's back to Wright Hall. It's so hard to believe that this summer is almost over and I am sad that it is, but excited at the same time. In May it seemed like August would never come, and It'll be here Sunday. It's been a good summer. I have had a lot of fun, gotten a lot of reading and some other random things done, but I still have missed people so much, for that reason I am looking forward to the beginning of classes.
This last week was the best week of the summer hands down. I got to hang out with Beth, Beth and Rachel a lot. I wish that I had gotten to hang out with Rachel more since she'e not coming back to Belmont in the fall. Those girls are truly three of my best friends. Beth Buzbee got to Nashville last Wednesday and she and I spent the entire afternoon together shopping for ourselves and for Jackie's wedding gift. That night the four of us (Beth, Beth, Reca and I) had dinner at Cracker Barrell. Thursday we all headed to my house for dinner after a detour at Target on Westport Road. We got to my house and my mom cooked us a great dinner and Jenny and Nicole were there and we got to hang out and have fun.
Friday we went up to Erlanger KY and checked into our very sketchy hotel, got dressed, picked up Rachel and headed up to the Wedding. We made a brief detour into the beautiful farm lands of Eastern Indiana. We got to the wedding for the pictures and we all just about cried when we saw Jackie. She was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I can't explain to you how beautiful she was, she looked like a magazine bride. Chris looked really nice too. He lost weight and you could just tell that he was really in love with her. We all needed to be able to see that since we were a little skeptical of the wedding in the first place. The ceremony was beautiful and I think we all cried or almost cried at some point during it. It's so weird to think of one of your good friends getting married. It's like a reality check that we are growing up. This is the first of many weddings within the next few years, and it's possible that mine will be in there somewhere, or it may be later, I'm not sure.
One thing that the Lord showed me this weekend is that I will be ok if I don't get married right after I graduate from college. I have for as long as I remember wanted to get married when I graduated, but I realize that it won't be the end of the world if I get married a few years Later. I just have to trust the Lord and that He knows what He's doing in my life. I am finally at peace with being single. (Why has it taken me 20 years to be at peace with God's will?) If I am meant to be married someday, then the Lord will bring that about when He so desires. But for right now, I'm going to focus on Him, His will in my life and being happy for my friends who have found everything that they dreamed of and more.
