Friday, I left right from work to head up to Indiana, PA to visit the lovely Mary. Then, Saturday, we drove up to western New York state to attend Amanda (and Mark's) wedding. It was gorgeous and God really helped the rain clear up just in time for the outdoor wedding; and he kept it away until the indoor reception started! :)
Mary and I waited for the "cutting of the cake" and headed out. It was a somewhat adventurous drive home without street signs in some places and without any lights in most. We did find a really cute coffee shop though (and were subsequently jealous that this coffee shop was not in our towns); but we did make it home in one piece, albeit very early in the morning.
The rest of the weekend I spent with Mary - going to church on Sunday: going to a funny Sunday school class together, listening to a great sermon on God being our Master (check it out: http://www.wgfellowship.org/sermons), and going back for a foundations class in the evening.
We also took an unexpectedly long nap in the afternoon - why is it always that seeing someone napping makes you want to nap too? Is it because they're so relaxed? Or is napping contagious like yawns?
It was so great to be able to be there for Amanda's wedding (I'll put a picture or two up when I get them!) and to be able to spend time catching up with Mary, sharing serious stories, and sharing lots of laughter ("I know that which you speak of exact. Talk me more you!").
