Lovely Coincidences

Some random things have been happening lately that would be awesome little parts of an X-Files episode or something.

For example...

I was driving through the neighborhood to my mom's house. I passed the first court on the left as a car drove around the circle, seeming to be exiting the court. But then it went around again. I was interested so I kept my eyes on the rear-view mirror all the way down the street but it did not exit the court until I reached the stop sign. Curious, but not too bizarre...until I headed down Whitney. Slowing as I neared my mom's house, I watched the yards scroll by. Then I saw a boy playing with his basketball in his driveway. The ball got loose and he went after it, but took a very indirect path. He circled the bushes lining the walk to the front door. He circled them a time and a half before reclaiming the stationary ball.

Also, recently I've been snatching M&M's from the cupboard at random times when I cannot decide what exactly I'm craving. They are all mixed up in a zip-lock bag in the pantry door. I'm obsessive compulsive and must take two at a time, one for each side of my mouth. That's not the strange part. The unusual part of the story is that almost every time (9/10ish) I will blindly grab two M&M's of the same color. Each time I tell myself there's no way it will happen again. Then I pull my hand out and look at two green M&M's there and I am elated. This has gone on for about two weeks now and is becoming more consistent.

What does it all mean?!??!!?

(more to come - stay tuned!)

Thanks much!

Wedding!!

Last night, Jeremy's cousin Holly got married! It was sooo cute! Patrick did the ceremony at Rochester Church of Christ and it was very simple and sweet. Jon (the groom) started crying immediately, even more so once Holly started coming down the aisle. We got prime seating since "we" are familyish. The decorations were lovely (thanks to Jeremy and my tastefull influences of breaking the mirrors and playing with the light board). It was exciting to be there and even I felt the weight of the words "husband and wife" as Patrick bound them together. They all marched back down the aisle to "signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!"

Then the traditional mile long line to hug the bride and groom formed, taking just under forever to get through. Then the Allen cult...I mean army...family...picture time took place, taking the rest of forever. During this time, Emily and I joked and had a ball being the "non-blood-or-marriage" members. Once pictures were through, we helped clean up the decorations. 5 times as many people helped take it down as helped put it up so it went very quick...almost without incident...Then, with a final pinning of the gorgeous bride's fabulous dress, we were off to the reception.

Steve Corp was the funny man of the evening but he didn't tell his so-lame-they're-funny-jokes, much to my disappointment. Plus, NOT ENOUGH CHAIRS! But them more were added. I don't think I even know that many people, let alone have that many to invite to my wedding! Well, there was snack food and punch. Eventually, Jeremy and I mozied our way over the the table with Eliane, Joe (crystal glass duets), Emily, Nel, Wendy, and Jim. It was a coincidence that we also ended up directly in front of the wedding party and with prime seats for the toasts. Which were so adorable! Andrea joked about Holly's childhood but broke down crying once she got serious. Jon's siblings told funny Jon's childhood stories (Strawberry Shortcake!). Both fathers toasted quickly before Jon took the mike and introduced the wedding party. It was cute and sweet until he got to the groomsmen. Steve Corp. Oh man. HILARIOUS story. "they still got it ;)"

Soon after the speeches, though, it was way late and Jeremy and I had to procter ACTs this morning so we left. yay. It was a blast and awesome and oh man fun!

Legos

I want some.

to you

i'm sorry.
i do miss you.

Let's make it an even 50

Birthday's come and go - this one went fast. It was a good one though, lots of love around me, lots of good people around me.

Aunt Judi says I have bad car Karma. I'm not sure if that's an accurate use of the word but I'll probably continue to use the phrase anyway. After all, if wasn't my fault I broke two cars in one day...I think...

600 things to do next week. It's good though - a reward of survival will be a week vacation.

I think it is time to resort to rubber bands. My will power seems to be lacking.

I don't know why this is such a time of darkness - negativity touching so many people. De'Angelo's death, Meta's friend Spencer's death in a house fire, Aunt Cody's face paralyzing, Jeremy's Great Aunt Kate's death, Mrs. Van Hooser's young friend's suicide, and many more I don't even know about. I know there are more souls with God now - but I pray those still here on earth can find comfort and love to see them through these dark times. I have to believe there are reasons for these hardships. Maybe only God knows what those reason are. I trust him.

Youth

And you said we would be golden
when we grow old
and you said we'd never be broken
when we grow old

But if a river can dry to dust
I guess the angels we learn to trust
can fly away
Like a mountain can lose it's peak
I now know a heart can change it's needs
quietly

And you said we'd never be parted
when we grow old
and you said I'll see you in heaven
when we grow old

But if a river can dry to dust
I guess the angels we learn to trust
can fly away
Like a mountain can lose it's peak
I now know a heart can change it's needs
quietly

and so goodbye, come tomorrow
goodbye, come tomorrow
goodbye
goodbye
Yeah, goodbye, come tomorrow
goodbye, come tomorrow
goodbye
goodbye

and you said we would be golden
when we grow old
