A weekend of Celebrations!

What a wonderful weekend! I turned in my senior paper on Friday, and let me tell you that was a load off for real. This weekend was full of celebrations. 

Celebration #1...On Friday morning Bonnie's grandmother went to be the Lord. She is no longer suffering and is now in heaven with her husband, son, and grandson. Wow. Bonnie is doing really well. About an hour after her death, Bonnie and I were talking and she said "it's the coolest and sweetest thought ever knowing she's running and playing in Heaven with daddy, Peter, my grandaddy, and my Jesus! I mean you just can't be sad thinking about that." Isn't that the truth. I celebrate the reunion she is now having with her family and I hurt for those here longing for that reunion. Please keep Bonnie and her family in your prayers. 
Celebration #2... Mac's birthday. This weekend was the first time I had seen Mac since Christmas. I was glad I could be home at the same time as him. We had a huge family dinner on Saturday night. It was wonderfully chaotic. Did you know that having a massive, funny, crazy family is one of the greatest blessings in life? I wouldn't trade it for the world. 
Celebration #3... Max. Yes, Max and Mac are very similar. I was able to be there on Sunday to see Max get dedicated at church. I was so glad to be there for it and for everyone to get to meet the sweet baby they had been praying for. He did not disappoint. Precious miracle baby, Love him. And then I got to walk in the march of dimes. It was perfect weather and perfect company. I did not really know what to expect of this event but it was really fun! Next year I plan on going all out :)

It was a great weekend. I am so glad that I got to go home and that Emily got to come with me. We had fun laughing and talking and not worrying about homework. I have to admit this weekend made me a little sad because even though Emily always leaves the cabinet doors open, and can't concentrate on a conversation longer than 5 min, and talks during my tv shows... I will miss her. She is a great roommate. I am a lucky girl.
