April was all too quick. I spent the first weekend enjoying, celebrating and participating in the wedding of two dear friends. It was a wonderful, wonderful day. I sent a pic of it already.
I then spent the next weekend in town with family, and my favorite great aunt flew into town too. We had our annual ladies luncheon, 4 generations in one room, eating together. I love LOVE this time each year.
In order to be in the wedding, I had to quit my job, so I spent April unemployed. It was nice and scary. I was able to rest, organize, clean. I spent time at parks, the zoo, in a blanket fort of my own making, etc. I also, however, watched all of my money slipping away. There were many prayers of provision and a plan to pack and move into a family member's basement in CO if necessary.
I also turned 27 this month. I am in a bit of a "quarter life crisis" still being unmarried and childless, so I wasn't really in the mood for celebrating. Instead I had a princess party for all the young girls in the church. We all dressed in fancy gowns, danced, colored, watched Cinderella and decorated (and ate) cupcakes. For my actual birthday a group of women from my church here accompanied me to dinner.
I'll cheat a bit and let you in on a bit of May thus far. I've been offered a position at a local reservation working with youth. Still waiting on approval, so no income and no official job...but an answer to prayer.
Nothing big planned for May, other than starting work or moving into a basement in CO ;) So the next post will tell.
Thanks for checking in. And sorry for the late post. No excuse at all.
>> Books this month: I've started reading Kisses from Katie (a book about a missionary to an orphanage in Africa). Really good so far.
>> Songs this month: Nothing's really struck my fancy this month.
