catching my breath

This has been what my friend Amber calls a “Super Weekend” and what I call a “collect them all” weekend. By that I mean: everything has been happening at once.

Since Thursday, we’ve had a houseguest, a wedding rehearsal, a rehearsal dinner, a movie night, a wedding, and the cleanup for said wedding. And on Sunday, we sang on the praise team at church, brought donuts to our Bible class, hosted our small group and talked until midnight with a few dear friends from that crowd.

I’ve spent hours laughing with (and at) friends, snapped a ton of photos, squeezed in two yoga classes and some knitting, sliced cake, served punch, walked around in high heels and finally ditched them for flip-flops, snapped photos, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned it again, sung until I’m hoarse, served communion to my dear ones, done copious baking and cooking and laundry, worn my favorite little black dress, and eaten an incredible quantity of tortilla chips. (Friday night: Abuelo’s. Saturday afternoon: Rosa’s. Saturday night: Chili’s. Sunday lunch: Los Arcos. Yes, I’ve managed to hit ALL my favorite Tex-Mex joints in three days.)

All that to say: I’m exhausted. And sleep-deprived. But man, was it an awesome weekend. Photos and wedding stories to come.
