Wonderful Weekend

Hello all,

This has been quite the Easter weekend. I had Friday off, which was nice! Although I love my job, it's definitely starting to turn into a JOB (if that makes any sense). I spent Friday night with a friend here in the cities. As you know if you read my prior post, we watched the Notebook... and I LOVED it!! It was a fun evening with a friend. I spent 9 months in Cleveland, so nights like that are like making up for lost time! The same friend and I drove to meet another friend of ours for lunch on Saturday. Nothing to spectacular, but it was nice. It was Saturday afternoon when the fun started!! On the drive home from lunch, I got a call from my best friend's boyfriend Kyle. Kyle was calling to inform me that he was planning on proposing to Katie that night and he needed my help with the whole ordeal.

WHHHHHAAAATTTTT!!?????!!

That was pretty much my reaction, too. He went all out for her... which, in my opinion, is just what she deserves. Needless to say, she said yes and now my best friend is going to be Mrs. Kyle Nelsen. I'm pretty darn excited about the whole idea of her getting hitched, and especially to Kyle. It's comforting to know that God's got them covered, ya know? Although it has the possibility of bumming me out (being single and all)... it also gives me hope that there's a "Kyle" (preferably not named kyle since that would be awkward) for me out there somewhere too. Anyway... that was the highlight of my weekend! I spent my Easter Sunday at another friend's house since her mother graciously invited me over.

Speaking of Easter, I wonder when this day became more about bunnies and eggs and less about the resurrection of our Savior. Not only is it strange that society chose a giant bunny to deliver the pastel colored eggs, it's sad that said giant bunny has somehow upstaged the fact that a man rose from the dead to save our lives. I guess there really isn't much I can do about it, but it would be nice to know that people recognize the true meaning of Easter.

Ok, well with that... Here's to the Notebook, Congrats to Kate and Kyle, and Hallelujah, Christ is Risen! :)

In Him,
Tempa
