over the weekend.

poolside afternoon, beautiful nature, and a wedding.
sunday afternoon nap, iced coffee, and wonderful bible reading.
saved by the bell reruns, starbucks, and pistachio pie.

here are some snapshots from the weekend:

4 tidbits of wisdom:
- satan's favorite evil trick is to get a single girl all upset and down at a wedding. he almost succeeded with me this weekend, but i was reminded that God's ways are higher. His plan for me is perfect, though it may not fit into what society has crafted as "normal". 
- middle school boys are hilarious to listen to when they are talking about girls.
- wedding punch is thebomb.com
- just because you have money doesn't mean you have to spend it.

3 things i'm looking forward to this week:
- dinner with meagan.
- thunder games!
- getting starbucks. (when you live in a small town, you treasure those out-of-town trips.)

2 blog posts i'm currently lovin':

1 quote from something i read: 
"i feel very strongly that marriage is not a higher calling than a single state. 
happy indeed are those people, married or single, 
who have discovered that happiness is not found in marriage, 
but in a right relationship with God."
