The summer wedding tour is officially over. I have no more weddings scheduled in my scheduler. I have found that I've completely underestimated my summer in lots of ways. I thought that it would be completely boring and void of friends, but such is not the case at all. I've been 1,000% busy and I've seen lots of things, traveled lots of miles, and done it with people who are just awesome! I'm completely exhausted and for the first time in a very long time, I wish to have an extensive amount of time to myself. As far as weddings go, I thought I would be completely rediculous and sad and jealous of all these marrital hook-ups. As it turns out, I could probably hold off on the whole planning a wedding thing for a good 2 years. atleast. Not that I haven't enjoyed the abundance of white people all summer, because I definetly have. I'm also very pleased with God's way of bringing my good friends together in marriage. But weddings are stressful I see. I've learned so much this summer about what it means to be single and what it means to be passing through this stage of life as a 23 year old. The world (ok maybe just the south) says this is a perfect time to get married. I've learned to be ok with letting Jesus be in charge of that. I'm ok with Him putting His timing on my turn. I'm single today. Tomorrow may be different. And that's how I choose to perceive it every single day. I've also perfected the electric slide, learned how to catch the bouquet if I really want it, and that gift cards really are the best gifts.
Britt and I surfed this weekend. I was so frustrated because the waves were rough and you could barely get out to the deep part. When I finally caught a wave, I could only get on my knees. I completely busted up my right knee and I'm currently limping like a fool. I have this huge bruise on my side where the board jabbed me. And it was shark week. But on my last try, I stood on the board with one foot and then my other foot slipped me off and I wiped out. That ONE time I got up for like .3 seconds made my violent day of surfing completely worth it and I can't wait to do it again. It was rough, but the GOOD outweighs the bad. I like that.
Sunburn SUCKS, too. If in hell all you do is get sunburn for eternity, then thank God I'm not headed there. really.
