there has been some really good moments lately. it's a mixture of the summertime with it's slow melting horizons, and of poignant family moments, and of a deep gratitude for everything being so sparkly and brand-new. i feel a lot of hope and a lot of optimism lately, standing here at the beginning of a huge adventure.
all said and done, i had 4 wedding related showers leading up to the main event, and every one was fantastic because i got to celebrate with people that i cherish, in small, intimate groups. while i'm itching with excitement for the wedding day, i'm worried i won't be able to connect with everyone in a mere 5ish hours, so i was so grateful for these little parties ahead of time. i love relationships, and i am just in awe when i stand back and look at all the lives that God has weaved in and out of my own.
and, of course, i'm continually in awe of david, of the man God fashioned him to be. i love his uniqueness - all the little silly details that make him him. we had a rough moment yesterday... the realization of a door shut in our faces and it took some time to talk through the different angles and what it meant for us. but as the conversation was fading, i looked up at him from where i was sitting on the floor. despite the frustration and sadness, he had a twinkle in his eye - the start of a smile - and he tackled me and we laughed and kissed and decided we could be broke and unemployed and down and out, but we would always have each other, and that is what matters most.
i guess when all the wedding stuff is said and done, all those massive checks are written and cashed, and everyone has driven home, we will be so happy because we achieved what mattered most all along - an extravagant celebration of relationships - family, friends, marriage - and an offering of thanks and praise to the Creator who gives all the good gifts my heart can't bear to contain.
