Grasping for the Wind

Compadres and Weddings

Chris and Alison's wedding was awesome! I really cut a rug on the dance floor. I even danced (yes, danced!) swing with Val. I had fun doing it for the very first time and it came to me a lot easier and with less of the jitters I always had before.

That was all great, but the best part was getting to hang out with buddies. I see them so little now that I have moved so far away, and I was never one for emailing or writing letters. Weddings sure do make for excellent get togethers (at least, for everyone except the bride and groom!).

Most of my very best friends were there and they all had their very first chance to get to know Val. Of course, they loved her. After all, who wouldn't? But they saw just how well she fits with me. The first time they had met her was our wedding, and getting to know her was a little difficult. I'm glad to know that she was as popular with them as she is with me.

May the Lord bless Alison and Chris and I can't wait to see everyone again in August.

PS I gave up the goat and am now going to be teaching in a charter school here in Florida. Ah well, God must have something big in store for me in the realm of education. May He bless the next school year more than he did the last.
