Weekend

(Lucy in wedding attire.)

Phew! I have been a bit nervous about playing for this wedding this weekend for some time now, because I have such a hard time getting to the piano these days. The other thing that is hard about playing for a wedding is that you are not only paying attention to playing well, but you have to watch the flow, and know when to quit so that be-silked and be-tuxed people aren't standing around while you flourish on. But all went well, better even than expected, and it sounded like Lucy did fine while I was playing. It is difficult to have to feed a baby so often while at a wedding. We were fortunate in that we had the nursery available to us for feeding, and I was so grateful. Lucy has not been the most cooperative eater lately, so it is tough to nurse her in awkward places. But the wedding went off without a hitch.

To those who do not know who I'm talking about-- this is a gal that I've mentored for about 4 years. I hired her to work for me at Biola, and she worked for me for 3 years, which is like dog years for a college kid. =) She met her new husband their freshman year, and I met him really early on and have walked through their relationship with them. It's an amazingly humble thing to realize that someone really listens to what you say. Thankfully much of what has come out of my mouth when talking with her is just passed on from some really wise people who have invested in my life. I am so grateful that God used me in Amanda's life. She is a sweet gal, and I think they have a shot at making a healthy marriage.

We spent the rest of the weekend recovering. Really great sermon at church--fodder for another blog entry if I get to it. Made the Kaluah cake again, or as I like calling it, the "Better than Sin" cake. =)

Here is Lucy swimming in the pool for the first time!!
