It's been a tough summer, probably the hardest summer of my life. Mercifully I've ended this difficult season with a fun, relaxing and joyous weekend. My college roommate got married today and I flew out to be in the wedding this weekend. I had to bring my 9-month old son, but the awesome and amazing parents of one of my best friends have been here and have played grandparents to him, enabling me to have the most relaxing time in a long while.
There have definitely been difficult and emotional moments for me tied in with the fun and joy, but I've made it through this weekend with far more happy moments than sad ones. Time with three of my best friends has been very healing. Standing up front in church today for the wedding, watching one of my best friends marry the guy she's madly in love with was a sort of balm to my crippled soul. It was a refreshing experience to remember that the world is full of more than tragedy and sadness. There is love, joy and happiness as well. Thanks, Sarah and Paul for giving me an opportunity to hope again.
