From a Friday night murder (mystery party, that is) to a girls night watching Finding Neverland to serving at Alden to seeing Skillet perform at Axis this packed-full weekend has wound to an end. Like the crocodile clock, to remind us that every thing must have an end.
My weekend was made enjoyable by many things, big a little alike. God's power and amazing faithfulness must be first to be listed. Though it didn't happen over the weekend, I did get results from my spinal and they returned negative. A demonstration that the here and now is meant to be lived as long as it can be, with all the unknowns factored right in.
It was a weekend to remember for so many moments that I am forced to choose only the bookends. I begin on Friday night . . .
Mike picked us all up for Greg's party and claimed his reason for being tired was, "because I did not get enough sleep at work." A timeless quote he may never live down.
Tonight was met in the arms of a good friend. My soldier came home tonight; only just for a week. His send-off will begin the weekend next to come, but for a moment that was forgotten. This week serves as is his reminder (and the same to those of us he leaves) that though his time away will be long, it too belongs to the clock.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
