Saturday could not have been a more beautiful day! What a joy to get to witness the wedding and beginning of the marriage of Allie and Jon. Allie and I spent 10 weeks together working in a camp kitchen when we were 18 years old ... ironically (considering that she's now one of my closest friends) we actually didn't like each other much when the summer started (that's what happens when you both like the same boy!) but because God has a sense of humor, we got to spend a LOT of time together and realized that we really loved one another. We also got to live together senior year of college which meant lots of late nights talking, dance parties, praying together and sharing meals. I knew it would have to be a special guy to get to be with Allie -- she is a pretty amazing girl ... and Jon is definitely that man. When he sang to her at the reception (Wow, he's got a great voice!) I teared up and just felt so much thankfulness in my heart that God had brought these two together.
Scott along with Grammy and Gramps (who are up from Arizona to help with the monkeys while Scott's back is healing from an injury at work) had things well "controlled" on the home front while I was away for the weekend. I came back feeling so refreshed -- amazing how good sleep, good friends and a bit of alone time can renew and rejuvenate!
