Hello, Loves...

I've been a slacker the past few weeks and have failed to write.

I had the opportunity to do a little investing for a retired scientist last week. The experience was both frustrating and incredible. We had a bit of a communication issue in the beginning. The man was seriously in to details and I was grasping for the big picture. Neither of us seemed to lack any patience though and as the meeting went on we were able to break down the walls. He was warm and energetic with an old, slow voice. I have never felt impelled to uncover the components of this existence to the degree of which I'm sure he has, but, nevertheless, the potential of the human mind amazes me. I find myself looking back on my encounter with Mr. Scientist with simple admiration.

I fulfilled a desire from a recent post and tried on pretty dresses. My beautiful friends, Alex and Jordan, will soon be husband and wife and I have the honor of being one of Alex's bridesmaids. In doing so, I have been given the opportunity to spend time with some lovely ladies that I don't see often enough. A little girl time can be completely refreshing after living in a male dominated household. ;) While trying on the dresses, I realized that I could literally spend all day in a dress shop. A wedding dress has that magical gift of transformation about it. And there seems to be some sort of glow about the women when they emerge from the fitting rooms. It's amazing. And, I must add, Alex looked lovely.

Much has happened the past few weeks. We've had cars break down. And we've bought a new one. I've spent some quality time with my sister which never seems to last quite long enough. We've fallen in love with The Office. It's a wonderfully, silly way to relax. I've also started watching Son's of Anarchy with DC and, despite not having any desire to watch it, I've definitely begun to enjoy it. It's very Sopranos-esque. We've trembled from recent storms and indulged in the warm, spring sunshine; Trickles of sunlight that bring with them a renewed sense of being and a reminder of God's ever present Spirit.

Hope you all are feeling fine!

In need of a little Spring...
