Wow! I can't believe it's all over. This weekend was super crazy for me but it was good. I spent from Thursday evening until early Sunday morning preparing for and then being part of a wedding. I've never been so tired in my life. I took a three hour nap yesterday and then went to bed relatively early last night so I wouldn't be a total zombie this morning. My body is still screaming at me for treating it so brutally. I am sore all over. Oh well. It was a lot of hard work but definitely a good time. Best part: I got to dance! I never get to dance, but since there was a DJ at the wedding my friends and I were like, hey, put him to good use. The rest of the wedding guests thoughts we were crazy but we had a lot of fun. I haven't been on a dance floor in at least two years and I was not going to pass up the opportunity to have a good time. So, I took a break from serving and cleaning and acted silly for about 30 minutes and then returned to my senses and helped clean everything up. It was also great to help someone out. The bride and her family could have never paid for the wedding she had, but everyone helped out and she had her dream wedding. It was really sweet. She was so overwhelmed she didn't really know what to say. It was satisfying to know that all the effort was not in vain.
Yesterday was Mother's Day and I spent most of it with my family. Actually, it was one of the best times I have ever had with them. We took my brother out for his graduation and if you can imagine 12 of us all at the same table in a loud restaurant, well, it was fun. My brother honored my mom for all the hard work and support she has put into him and his career in college and I thought it was very appropriate. For some background info: my mom graduated at the top of her class when she went to nursing school and she graduated with high distinction. But, she didn't want any of the honors, so she never had the cords or the sash. Instead, she put all the focus on Jesus and her family. Last night, my brother gave her a stole of gratitude that honored her for the sacrifices she's made and the help she's given. In many ways it was like she finally received the honors she deserved.
Overall, my weekend was really good. There were so many things going on, even more than what I've written here, but there were so many good things that happened. I can't say that I would want to relive any of this weekend, but I wouldn't mind the opportunity to do again the type of work I did this weekend.
