May 2014 - A busy month

We've had a busy month.

Along with a great Co-worker ran 5 different days of conferences.  My work days started early about 6.40 am and went as late as 9.30.

I also got to go to HistoryMakers a conference for teens.  I have been to 30 HM conferences and I feel incredibly honoured to have had the chance to chaperon for so many years.  And this year, I was given a really special treat.  One of my favourite musicians, Martin Smith was at HM.

I have to say, I tried hard not to react like an 11 year One Direction Fan, but -- I did a little bit.

Then, as the month went on, we got to see Sarah and Paul Aragones get married.  It was a beautiful day in Abbotsford, a gorgeous bride and a handsome groom!

We had made plans to meet up with family on Sunday morning for breakfast.  Most of the plans fell through, but got to have time with Scott and Patrick.  Probably the kindest and most generous men I have ever met.  I am thankful for family like them.

Then, this got to happen to me--I got to go home to Kelowna.  A beautiful ride over the mountains into the valley.

We had the best Road Trip Buddies.  It's always a great test of friendship when you end a weekend together with a couple and you like them MORE than when you started.

The following day, I was privileged to be at the wedding ceremony of Jamie Lee and Josh Lloyd-Smith.  What a great day, on the beach, to watch the self written vows, that so captured the character of two beautiful people were spoken before God.

I'm so thankful that May is over, it was a very long haul...and it means that we are one month closer to Summer!
