it was one busy weekend

Here's a random mish-mash of pictures from our weekend. A couple of friends of ours were getting married, and Joey was in the wedding party.

I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.
Today I had the pleasure of getting together with one of my college buddies, Leah {the one in the purple outfit above. We were dressed up for Millar’s “Bethlehem” themed Christmas banquet back in ‘08}. She wanted to come and see my little mister and give him this oh-so-fabulous homemade quilt!
Our friendship started when she and her friend Janet {in the burnt orange outfit above} kindly invited me to watch BBC’s Pride and Prejudice and eat biscotti {with tea, of course}. I fell in love with these witty, art-loving, God-fearing ladies immediately. They were the kind of friends I had always hoped I would find—people who you not only get along well with, but that actually share and appreciate the things you appreciate {which turned out to be knitting, drinking tea, reading dusty books, and watching classic movies}. Needless to say, we were skilled in the art of procrastination.
It’s crazy to think that those happy days were not even two years ago. Although I miss them terribly, I am also very content {and excited!} to be where I am. God has given me my very own family to love, nurture, and cherish. My husband loves me and strives to lead our home in a way that honours the Lord. And I have a sweet, sweet little baby boy that grows and learns more every day.
Why don’t you just take a moment to thank God for all He has blessed you with? I regret that I do not do it more often.

Well, this is my first attempt at blogging, and I don't know how else to start other than to just start talking about my life. So, without further delaying, here I go...
It's already the end of February, and I'm starting to sense an intense case of Grad fever coming across my school. My friend Joey is in pursuit of his perfect grad escort, and my best friend Kristy is going shopping on saturday to find the perfect dress to wear with her boyfriend.
Although I understand the excitement that comes with finishing school, I haven't felt much of this fever myself as I am fairly new to the school. Yes, I have a lot of friends at MCI, but it seems that Grad is specially reserved for those that have gone to school together for many years. So, not complaining, I'm content to enjoy the Grad from the sidelines, not actually participating, but appreciating it nonetheless.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that Kristy's brother was thinking of asking me to his grad as his escort. I've always appreciated Derek and his quiet demenor (which is in stark contrast to Kristy's character) and was absolutely shocked (and a little flattered) to hear this.
And so I anxiously awaited Derek's little question...
We had youth tonight, and it was a really fun time. Derek and Kristy were there, and somehow I didn't actually think I would be asked "the question" in the near future. But just as everyone was getting their coats on and warming up their cars, he asked me. "Do you want to go to prom with me?"
Those are very special words. I can honestly say that you can imagine them a thousand times, but they never seem the same as when they are actually said. And I, of course, said yes right away.
Now that could be a nice little story with nice little feelings, but the punch line is coming up. After I had said yes, Derek said, "It's okay because I have other options." Isn't that hysterical? Coming from anyone else, I might be offended. But I know that Derek is really shy and he would never mean to offend. I think he just said that so he knew I wasn't pressured into anything. But it's still funny :) .
Now, there's something that should be understood here. I do currently have a boyfriend, but my anticipation is not to be confused with a silly crush. I'm just going as a friend with Derek, nothing more.
When I think about it, it is so exciting. My best friend is going to grad with her boyfriend, and I am going with her brother. In some ways, grad is a soap opera!
