I just spent a few minutes perusing some of my earliest blog posts I have here. Wow, is that a trip! I really needed to learn how to edit a blog! So, when I have a few minutes this Spring that is one thing I am going to do--edit my blogs and make sure that they make sense and do not have quite as many embarrassing errors! Since I am a writer and all, I should probably make sure I edit before I publish each blog!
I read one entry from 2007, the year this blog started (3 years ago!) and in it I talked about my dream wedding plans. Being as I'm a female I retain the right to change my mind on anything up to the day of the wedding! So, I thought I would share a few of those minor changes.
I still want Jon to officiate the wedding. I still want Kim and Gary to be involved somehow as well. Aunt Lisa will still be my pianist and I will walk into the song Jessica's Theme (from Man From Snowy River, great song! And perfect for me!). I still think I want the same 2 songs sung.
The major change would be in the colors and the location. Most likely I'd have it in Sheridan, since that is where I grew up, but a majority of my friends are here in VA, so I'd be open to finding a small church around here. For wedding colors I want navy blue and a dark red (hey-they are similar to the colors on our flag for a reason, they look great together!).
It was fun to peruse my old blog posts. I can see that I've grown and matured in many ways. I have some distance now. I am able to talk about what happened to me with the perspective of time and a lack of anger. When I read some of my old posts I can see the hurt and the anger I felt. And a lot of that has faded for me. My past is my past, I can't change it, but I don't have to let it remain baggage like I was.
I think this blog has also taken on a more evangelistic slant. Must be that LBTS affected me after all! :-)
My book is STILL in progress. Some days it feels like my kids will be in school before it is published, and I don't have any children yet!
I have also realized that I've been fairly quiet on mentioning that Favre is a grandpa. Yes, I know the man that lead my team to bringing the Lombardi Trophy home to Title town is now a traitor and plays for the Vikings, but I still respect the guy. He is an amazing athlete, even if things were not handled the way they should have been. I still hope that he has a couple more seasons left. I enjoy watching him play. And yes, I feel like a bit of a traitor saying this, but I have my cheesehead on, so it all balances out! ;-) I just wish he was still wearing GREEN and gold, that purple color...YUCK!
Traveling down memory lane was mostly fun! Next blog will be about our third Godly pursuit--using our time wisely!
