Now that I am done with school and the craziness of studying that must take place on weekends, this Johnson Family is loving our weekends and loving not having a stressed-out Mama who can't have fun! If I haven't mentioned this before, now is the time...I have an AMAZING husband and this past weekend was a prime example of his amazingness! He officiated the weddings (yes I added an s to the end of wedding making it plural) of two wonderful couples we have come to know and love over the past 8 or so years through Young Life. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures but I can guarantee you that the Smiths and Dezellems were looking extra good on their special days!
So the weekend started off with two rehearsals friday evening along with a sleepover with one of our favorite five-year-old friends, Addy. Then Saturday morning KJ gave me the most amazing gift of waking up with Avlynne, loading her up in the stroller to go for a run and returning with a hot Grande non-fat latte from Starbucks in hand (this guy really knows what his lady likes)! We then had a great morning of watching the Little Mermaid, reading books, and searching for bugs outside. Then the wedding craziness hit...the 1st wedding was at 4:30 on Bigelow Gulch. The 2nd wedding was at 6:00 pm way up on the South Hill! We drove back and forth for both ceremonies and both receptions. Somehow KJ kept the two different ceremonies straight and didn't even mess up the names considering one of the brides was Jen and the other was Jenny! We felt very blessed to be a part of both of these special weddings!
Sunday morning KJ rallied and had the opportunity to be on a panel of speakers at our church regarding living missionally, something we are continuously figuring out how to do. After church I said goodbye to my beautiful WhiteWater kayak. She found a good home though with a REAL Canadian Mountie, which made the goodbye a little easier! After good, but all too short, naps for all 3 of us, we headed off to spend some time in the pool with Avlynne's Grandma Connie, and 2 Great Aunts! The weekend came to a perfect end with a lovely dinner at the home of the
McDonalds with Lauren and Michael Bailey! Lets just say that my husband rocked it this weekend and that this whole no-homework life is rather glorious and a gift
I don't ever want to take for granted!
