~ The Union of Two ~
Wow! Just got back from a really fun trip to Kingston with my cousins. Paul picked me up Saturday morning at 8 am, and we drove to Ajax to pick up my cousin (his sister) Roberta, and our other cousin Barb. It was a fun car trip full of catching up...we arrived at my Aunt Jacqueline's house just after noon. As we pulled up, I spotted a red motorcycle in the driveway. "I didn't know that Uncle Tony had a motor---" *sees licence plate number and squeals* "---DAD!"
Yeah, so my Dad really surprised me (and everybody else for that matter) by being at Jacqueline's house and then coming to the wedding. It was such a pleasant surprise to see him...definitely icing on the cake!
So, we then went to see our cousin Libby's wedding to Jordan. It was such a beautiful ceremony. God was most definitely there, and I know, even without having ever met Jordan before, that he is definitely the one for Libby!
It was so nice to see everybody again. I realized that I hadn't seen most of my aunts and cousins for over two years! Isn't that awful?
On a completely different note, I got to go back and see my first school, Centennial Public School. This was special for me because I always remembered there being a forest on the playground...now when I say forest, imagine what a thicker treed area would look like in a backyard...full of big rocks to jump on! I went inside and found my favourite rock..."the cloud car" rock. I was a Care Bear maniac when I was a kid, so my Dad quite appropriately coined my forest as "the Forest of Feelings". Thus, one chapter of my childhood has finally been laid to rest.
We slept in Jacqueline and Tony's trailer last night (thanks so much for giving us a place to stay!!). Then we hit the road at 5:15 this morning. Overall, such a nice trip. I'm so happy that I was able to go. Praise God for all He has done to prepare my family for this weekend...in more ways than even I could ever know.
Today's agenda...laundry to do and cake to make! Dessert night is tomorrow night at 6 pm in SLC MPR...be there or be square! =P
May all praise be unto Him, from whom all blessings flow.
