What A Weekend

This weekend my friend Quinn got married.  She was a beautiful bride and looked so happy.  It was very fun to be there to celebrate with her!  Julie, Kelsie, Graham, and I drove up to Boone Saturday morning.  Once we got there we played a game that I can't spell. I think it's bochi ball or something like that.  I have to say, it was a pretty fun game, that I was actually kind of good at.  We then got ready and drove up to the mountain.  As we drive up, we're like... were is the wedding at? We saw a reception tent, but not a ceremonial area.  Then we see a tractor and a very steep windy dirt road.  We get on the trailer and proceed up the mountain for what seems like FOREVER, and all we think is... "only Quinn". There were some points that we were worried about sliding off, the road was so steep.  We finally make it to the top and the view is AMAZING.  The mountains and everything, it was just great.  I was very happy to be there with my friends celebrating another friend's wedding.  The ceremony was very sweet and filled with tears.  Then the reception came.  They had a BBQ. Mac-n-cheese, baked beans, a big pig (feet and all still attached), sweet tea, beer and wine.  The DJ was great and the music selection was great.  Julie and Graham danced every dance I think and really enjoyed themselves. Andrew loosened up towards the end of the night, while Kelsie and I were more reserved and took on the people watching role.  There was this one girl, bless her heart, who tried to do the worm in a dress and ended up showing everyone her brown panties.... note to self, don't attempt the worm in a dress in front of a rather large crowd!  Anyway, toward the end of the evening I began feeling really sick.  I kept telling Kelsie that I didn't feel well.  I couldn't really pin point the feeling, i just knew it wasn't a good one.  We got to see Quinn and Parke off, and then we left.  We got back to the house and I went straight to bed, while everyone else built a fire and roasted marshmallows and had fun.  Well I have to say that was the longest nights of my life.  I haven't been that sick in such a long time.  It was TERRIBLE.  So we then drive back to Charlotte, Kelsie is driving, and about 10 minutes outside of Boone, my right front tire blows.  I'm thinking, what in the world.  I have had this car for 2 months, and when I had my jetta, the same tire went flat.  What are the odds?  Graham and a really sweet passerby changed the tire.  All the while, I am telling myself to keep it together and not get sick.  I survived the tire change, and fell in and out of sleep the rest of the ride home.  I get home and sleep for the next 18 hours or so.  I feel much better today, thank God.  Quinn was such a beautiful bride and Im glad I was able to make it through the wedding! 

I just wanted to tell you that I am working on a website right now. I just purchased a domain, and will have the website up and running soon!

I cannot believe it's june already.  I feel like this year has flown by, and I am about to enter into a new chapter of my life.  I am not sure how long it will last, but I am sure it will be fun and adventurous and will require me to have more faith and trust in the Lord than I can possibly comprehend at this moment.  This will be an exciting time in my life and I am looking forward to really learning to listen to what the Lord is saying and speaking to my heart.
