A Wonderful [Wedding] Weekend

My heart overflows with joy from the weekend:

reuniting with friends after months apart

celebrating a birthday

seeing two dear friends united in marriage

watching the newlyweds enjoy their special day to the fullest

dancing like fools at the reception with the other Concordia ladies :)

a long walk

lots of driving...and safely while driving

the necessary tears that come with closure, heartache...and loads of thanksgiving

a great hike

sightseeing in Cedar Rapids

movie watching with Mattchu

And while Aaron and I hiked, he pointed out a bench tucked away in the tall grass. The top of the plaque sums this entire weekend:

Thanks, God.
