Next, my weekend back in KC was great but just flew by. The 3.5 hour drive both ways dragged on, but I am such a baby when it comes to driving, especially by myself! I got to spend Friday night with my family, and listen to some of Austin and Kyla's stories about school. They cracked me up!
Saturday, I got up early to meet the Bride-to-be to get our nails done. We had a VERY long wait at the nail salon, but the end result was worth it and we had a great time talking while we were waiting. We went back to her house, and I helped with some last minute things before we left for the Rehearsal Dinner. The Rehearsal didn't go as planned, as TWO different cars with Bridal Party members got in accidents (one of these cars also had the Groom.) (I thought that our Best Man getting in an accident before our Rehearsal was bad!). Luckily, they made it about an hour late and the rest of the night went really well. I went back with Bethany and her husband Chris, and stayed the night at their house.
Bethany and I got up early to meet at Ali's house to get our hair done. The next thing we knew, we were all getting our dresses on to go to Unity Village to take pictures. I think the pictures are going to turn out great, and it reminded me of Steven and I taking pics there on our wedding day! It is cool how we will both have wedding pics with the same backgrounds. The rest of the day really flew by, we went back to Ali's to get some lunch, then began the 1.5 hour drive to the Venue. We finished getting ready there, had the ceremony and the reception, decorated the Newlywed's car, loaded up their car with presents, and then suddenly the night was over! I rode back with my parents and got a good night's sleep before waking up early to head home for work Monday evening.
We've had a good week here, but I have been really busy with work. I had the craziest experience today while working... one of the old men slapped my butt! It was the same guy who has been very "touchy" before, so I have been trying to keep my distance from him. But today we were all playing balloon volleyball, and I was walking around helping pick up balloons and the next thing I knew he had slapped it! I told him he couldn't do that, but don't know what was going through his head! Goodness gracious, I never would have expected that when I took this job.
Speaking of which, just Thursday night I was praying about what God has in store for me after my temporary position at Delmar Gardens is over. I was asking God to begin opening the right doors for wherever He wants me. Then, Friday morning I get to work and after about ten minutes, a lady came in and was talking to one of my co-workers. Pat (my coworker) was asking her about her trip to Indonesia, then looks at me and tells me that the lady's fiance is a missionary there, then tells the lady that my husband is a youth pastor. She asked me what church we went to, I told her, then introduced myself. She told me her name, and that she is the Activity Director at the Villa's! (The Villa's are the Independent Living Center where I have been wanting to work.) I don't know if this is a coincidence, but how cool is the timing there, not only that I met her the day after I prayed so hard about God showing me where He wants me, but also that we have that commonality that the men in our lives are both in ministry. This makes me really excited.
Well, it's my bed time but I wanted to play some catch up!
