Last night was my friend Melissa's wedding. It was very emotional, because she is such a wonderful woman, and seeing her heart's desire fulfilled was so special. I had a great time with the girls I teach with, and I even had my own Buddy the Elf moment when I realized I knew one fo the groomsmen. ("Hey! I know him! I know him!") And, to top it all off, my friend Stephanie is pregnant, which is so exciting! I love it that I can be genuinely excited about all of these developments of other people. I haven't succumbed to the bitterness of singlehood yet, and pray I don't ever do so. I see how perfect Melissa's husband is for her, and can only dream of the man God has set aside for me. I had a great time last night dancing the night away with friends, watching Lisa play air guitar to "Pour Some Sugar on Me", and saw a new side of Nicolle that I hadn't seen before. I've been to two weddings in two months, with a few more coming up in the next year or so, and they just keep getting better and better.
Today is Thanksgiving, and I'm so thankful that I don't have to travel this year. I've been at my parents' house all day, after waking up in my own bed and laying around all morning. I've strategically planned out all of my black Friday shopping plans, and should be done and back in bed by 7am tomorrow. Not a bad plan. My family from East Texas came in, and the morning was spent in a flurry of sale ads, cooking, visiting, and oohing and aahing over Elvis.
My sister brought her laptop home from Tech, so I'm loaded up on some new music, but moreso I'm alarmed that her tastes in music are starting to mirror mine. To me, that's one of the signs of the coming Apocalypse, so if the world ends sometime next week, you'll know why. Of course, it's also alerting me to which elements of my musical tastes scream "college co-ed", and which ones are legitimate. I'm debating whether now is naptime or shoptime. One of the stores that I need to get some Christmas shopping done at is open today...do I fight the power or just give in?
There are so many things I'm thankful for, but I don't like to list them, because the whole thing seems so cheesy. I also don't like to focus on them on days like today, because I know I need to work on having a grateful nature every other day of the year and not just today. But I am thankful.
