Thursday: leave at 11 am to go to Haverhill, MA with Kristen. Hang out with her awesome family all day. Good eats. Learned about her sister-in-law's dad's and her grandfather's experiences in the active duty military (in Vietnam and Brazil, respectively), which at once made me immensely respectful and also incredibly frightened for my brothers. At about 7:30 we left for Connecticut, to stay with John and Kelli at Kel's parents' place.
Friday: I left the house at 6:00 am with the girls to drive to Stamford and catch a train to NYC. Shopping all day long. Return home around 9 pm exhausted. (Meanwhile, Bryan stayed at the house with the boys, watching TV and reading!)
Saturday: Slept in! Then more shopping in CT for Katie, more football and Life of Jesus for Bryan. Amazing food (all weekend) courtesy of Mrs. Walker. We had a great visit from Jack & Sandy, the couple in whose backyard I had the accident. They're really sweet people. He reminds Bryan and me of Dr. Thompson, probably because he's a tall, fatherly, gray-haired former preacher.
Sunday: left the house at 6:00 to go to church. Bryan was on drums, and I sang for the first time ever at Hope (and the first time since high school in front of anyone). I had a lot of fun, and was surprisingly relaxed. It was a half-debut; I sang for the first service and ran the sound board for the second. But it was fun. Lunch @ the Common with Kristen meant our weekend was bookended by one of our favorite people.And just in case you wondered, here's the top 4 of thankfulness this year:
- Jesus. Period.
- My family, especially my beautiful, thoughtful, amazing husband. What a blessing.
- Hope Fellowship and all my friends there.
- Harvard Law School. Much as I hate it, it's been good to me. It's brought me security, knowledge, and great friends.
- Healing. (Being able to sit up on my own, etc - I would have never guessed last year at that time that this would make my top 100).
