A few minor details...

At church the other day Pastor Mark was talking about taking account of the evidence of God's grace in our lives. Big ones. Small ones, whatever, they all count. In my college girl's bible study we called these " Yay God's!" This week has been good things. Lots of them. All in a row. My heart is swelling joyfully, and before I burst I think I'll make a little list.

1. I discovered this website: Cox & Cox! It's full of beautiful things. You will swoon, guaranteed.

2. My florist is the best, ever! I met with her on Wednesday to talk about flowers, duh, and ended up with a volunteer catering crew and a high tea reception. So fun! She has the best ideas and is so generous. My i'm-planning-a-wedding-i'm-a-bride-and-this-is-the-best-thing-ever-o-meter just went off the richter scale.

3. I've got some much deserved time off coming my way!

4. My management works hard to make sure I feel appreciated.

5. Kind words from Julie's daughter this morning. She hardly knows me and she said some of the sweetest things ever!

6. It's pumpkin spice latte season at Starbucks!

7. I've been sick for the last week and my 89 year old Grandmother, who is so kind to let me live with her, doesn't even have the sniffles.

8. I have Sundays off through the winter, and so does Johnny! What? We get to see eachother on a weekend? Unheard of.

9. I have a new doctor, who is super cool, super young, and super open.

10. Joel makes THE BEST sloppy joes ever. Velveeta overload!

11. The community center is hosting the best Thanksgiving dinner ever at the end of the month. Tiny foods, ahoy!

Ok, I could go on and on forever. But reflecting on the good things puts a huge grin on my face.

I am sick. Throat sick. Can't talk sick. No appetite sick. I love Nyquil sick. But not sick enough to stay home another day. Port Gamble calls my name and so I'm here. Weddings, meetings and ghost walks welcome me back. As well as a box of tissues and bottle of hand sanitizer (Julie said not to take it personally :)

I just hope this weekend isn't a disaster. I'm rusty.

Psalm 37:23-24

23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.

This is the time of year I start to get tired. No more weddings, please!

I'm dreaming of adventures on the high seas and late night romps through the city --- Nick and Norah's Infinite Adventure style.

Who's with me?

Short road trip. Portland. Spokane. BC. And beyond!

We are SO frickin' cute. If I do say so myself :)
