I arrived home from Minnesota this evening to my living room feeling nice, crisp and fall-like. I'm so glad I left all the windows open. I put on a pot of hot chocolate and then decided tonight was a night for writing and thinking, and not numbing myself in front of the TV.
I then took 30 minutes to make a "Fall" playlist on itunes.
I absolutely love Fall. It is hands down, the best season. A great excuse to curl up with a hot drink under a blanket and watch attractive men hit each other. I love watching the leaves change color. I can actually start running outside again because it's not super humid. I can ride my bike to work without being soaking wet. I'm so excited for Fall.
This last weekend I went to the Twin Cities for my friends Megan and Jason's wedding. This was the most emotional wedding I had ever been to. Well, maybe for me. When my friends Staci and Greg got married I was super excited, but I was in the wedding so I was kind of wrapped up in the day. This time I got to see two of my friends come together and I just watched. It was a great service. It was so nice to go to an actual wedding service that wasn't horrible. Weddings are just horrible, but this was good.
I don't know how I didn't cry this weekend. The wedding service made me emotional. The toasts made me emotional. Seeing all my friends made me emotional. And then I went to Redeemer Lutheran Church for worship on Sunday....Pastor Kelly sermon was about answering our calls to God and being a part of God's plan. Wow, talk about coincidence. I'm surprised I didn't bawl my eyes out went I hugged Stephanie, who is the best hugger in the world (her hugs are better than Gay man hugs according to Anita).
It was a good weekend. I am super tired and my mind is racing with so many thoughts towards the future and those good old questions about the purpose of life, dreams, and goals. I plan on sipping some more cocoa (3 mugs!) and catching up on my Bible readings. I might even try to finish reading Uncle Tom's Cabin, which I've been reading since April.
Whatever happens, I feel pretty content right now. Do I miss the boy, yes, but I always will.
