Having an absolutely awesome day. And by that, I mean I feel totally relaxed and free. I really do love summertime…I don’t work until 7 tonight, so am just enjoying being with my family and watching the US Open with my dad. Tiger’s tied for the lead right now – hopefully he can pull out the win. I was just thinking about a couple months ago when I was in school, and how Sunday would always be a horribly busy day full of studying and homework – now I can enjoy relaxing on a Sunday afternoon, not even having the thought of homework looming overhead.
Wrote the previous paragraph a few hours ago – now feeling very satisfied after a great shrimp and salad dinner for Father’s Day. Still watching the US Open and hoping Tiger can come back to win it. Going to work pretty soon, but wanted to write about how amazing yesterday was.
It was Steven and Liz’s wedding day!! Andrew, Dream and I went up to Gainesville together – pretty uneventful drive. We got there early because Andrew was the official photographer and had to take all the prep pictures. So I saw Rob and others and hung out at Creekside until it was time to start the ceremony. And what a beautiful ceremony it was…weddings are such happy joyous occasions – Liz was radiant; Steven was smiling non-stop…I’m just so happy for them!! Pastor Parker did the ceremony and he did a great job. Rob was a groomsman and Katie was the maid of honor.
Afterwards, the reception was in the fellowship hall and it was just as much fun as the ceremony! We started off with snack-type foods while the wedding party got photographed, then Steven and Liz came in(“Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy!”) and we had the main meal…lots of meat, salad, pasta shells, green beans, potatoes…mmm, so delicious. I was at a table with Dream, Andrew, Rob, Mary, and others. When it came time for toasts, Steven’s brother gave one, along with Katie and Rob. Rob’s was awesome because it was dedicated to God and how He is the one that brought Steven and Liz together. So true(afterward, Liz also thanked God and gave all glory to Him!). Well, then there was a slideshow of Steven and Liz’s lives…great fun seeing them as children and as they grew up. After the reception, they ran through clouds of bubbles to their car as they went off to Colorado…I’ll see them next in the fall. It was great seeing other people that I haven’t seen for a while, like the Lebos, Rob’s family and relatives, Mary, Lisa and Shawn, and others.
Well, this is a pretty long post already, but basically wanted to write all this to commemorate what a fantastic day yesterday was. Going to watch some more golf now. Hope everyone’s summer is going great!
