30 Isn't So Bad...
As per usual, I'm at least a month behind in blogging. So much for my renewed effort to blog at least important events. Jenny is my only reader so thanks for checking out this page from time to time! I have to go back and finish my entries for both Jane and Preethy's weddings. I want to at least get placeholders in for the stories to come so here goes.
My sweet husband planned for our 2nd Annual Fall Soup Party to double as the celebration for the 2nd Anniversary of my 29th Birthday. The festivities were on Saturday, October 4. It was a great time with family and friends. David made four delicious soups -- Wisconsin Cheese & Beer, Beef Soup, Senate Bean Soup, and Minestrone. I think the beer & cheese soup was my favorite. What's not to love? I was very touched by the number of people who drove hours to be there -- Jane & Brandon, Katie & Chad, and Jenny C. My mom came, which was very nice so she could meet a bunch of our friends. Friends brought lots of good wine, tasty bread, and yummy desserts. It was a great time! David surprised me with a lovely cake and lead everyone in singing.
If I have to turn 30, this was the way to do it! In the days before the party and my birthday I was feeling some uncertainty. I also felt like some sort of resolution was in order. But then the usual things of wanting to exercise more and diet to lose weight came to mind. Those things very rarely go well and ultimately lead feelings of failure and disappointment. So let's just skip that all together. In the end, I notice no difference and am feeling pretty good about entering my 30s. God is good and surely has unimaginable blessings in store for the next decade!
Jane and Brandon spent the night with us and joined us at church the next day. I'm glad our small group friends got to meet them since they've been praying for their wedding for a year! After church we met up with Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Bill, Michelle, Alyssa, and Hunter (Taylor was working) for lunch at Clyde's. It was tasty!
