I know it’s been awhile since I have posted anything on here, and have been threatened that if I don’t post soon I will be taken off of Jonathan’s Blog Roll. Since, I don’t dare want that to happen, I decided to catch you all up on everything that’s been going on lately.
Things have been so crazy in my life lately that I have not even had a chance to hardly think about anything except what was coming next. Last week, thankfully, I got to go on vacation. Jonathan and I went to the upstate to spend some time with his family. It was so fun to get away from all the stresses of life here in Charleston and hang out with my future in-laws. By the way, that is kind of a funny word for such sweet people like Jonathan’s parents. Anyway, random thought. Monday, Jonathan picked me up for lunch and after we ate, I said.”Let’s go on an adventure!” “Take me somewhere I have never been before.” See at this point we had nothing planned for the week except for Friday. So, Jonathan drove over to this beautiful lake and we got out, walked around, and it was so peaceful. Jonathan saw some men fishing and wanted to go fishing himself. So, about the time he went to ask the warden about a fishing permit, his phone rang….and that is where the adventure started.
See, his mom left that morning to help take the kids at Northwood, their home church, to camp in Georgia. That call was from his mom informing him that the bus had broken down. She was stranded at the Wendys off an exit in Georgia about 17 miles from the camp. So, we left the lake and had to go pick her up. While we were on our way to pick her up, Jonathan’s phone rang again. This time the news was worse. It was a call from one of his friend’s mom asking him to conduct the funeral service for her dad. So, needless to say, Jonathan had to a prepared for a funeral on Wednesday. We got to Georgia and picked up Jonathan’s mom at the Wendys and headed back to Greer.
Tuesday was not as crazy, but busier than we had hoped for seeing that it was supposed to be vacation. We went to lunch and started shopping for me a black dress. Jonathan was also looking for a minister’s manual that came in very handy. We didn’t have to worry about Jonathan’s black suit because I got dad to overnight it to him. Wednesday was the funeral and Jonathan really did a great job comforting the family, and telling great stories to make them laugh. Jonathan is going to make a great pastor!!
Thursday was our day to relax, we didn’t really do much of anything and we deserved it after the crazy start to the week. The saying goes be careful what you ask for because you just might get it, and I sure learned my lesson. I asked for an adventure, and boy did I get it!
