…a brief glance…

…another week almost over! Yay! I feel EXHAUSTED! My head’s all cloudy and all I want to do is sleep! It’s been a BIG WEEK. That started with a very full on weekend! Seriously!

Saturday I went to Amachi’s (John) wedding. Which was amazing! I have to say, it certainly set my standards high! Amachi has a way of doing that with me! As previously pointed out John previously was my Partner in Crime at work, and from the word go he was my Bud in every essence, not once in the lifespan of our friendship have I felt anything less than his friend. Despite his strong relationship with Mas, he was still there for me every step of the way, and always found the time to do ‘our thing’ and there is not a doubt on my mind that if I needed him then or now, he would drop anything to be there for me. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to hang with him for a little while before the ceremonies began. I was able to share his enthusiasm, his nervousness and his pur happiness. I felt nothing but gladness and happiness for him. He truly deserved it. As I watched him from where I sat, as he waited for Mas to arrive, I could sense the nervousness he felt, which fell away the moment his eyes fell on her as she walked down the aisle. His love for her overflowed through his face, the grin on his face and the subtle bounce as he waited excitedly. The look of love in her face assured me that this was one of those rare find ‘fairy tales’. As they shared their vows, his hands never let go of hers, nor did the continuous strokes he made with his thumb on the back of her hand, the whole time, his gaze never leaving hers. My friend was happy! I was ecstatic! John deserves this and so much more. His capacity to love is great, and his honour, its profoundly never shaken. In many ways he is one of my accountability partners, for which I will forever be grateful. As the ceremony ended and he passed me, he flashed me a grin and a wink, a gesture that sealed what I knew we would always have. That though things will inevitably change, our friendship will remain trasured. I have never been prouder of him as I felt when we hugged before parting that night. I am so glad he stood by his dream and after ten years, they got it! Kinda makes a cynical heart not be quite so cynical. =) John would be thrilled!

All is well. Admittedly I was a little London-sick this weekend. For more reasons than one. I missed my friends. The miss-able ones…hehe! Nah they’re all pretty miss-ables. I missed my life in London! I miss the HECTIC-ness of my world. Though my life is Hectic here, it bears a whole different set of consequences. I miss my kids. I miss being running from the Dominion Theatre to the Jury Hotel and wandering around Tottenham Court aimlessly in between. I miss Sunday night dinners! I even miss HC… well I miss my connections at HC. Weird! It took a couple of months.

After John’s wedding I drive to Ross’ place to catch a little of his birthday celebrations, but which at Midnight was still pretty impressive. Hung out with Mer in the room for awhile and had a TALK, which made me feel better, and possibly made me more confused, but anyways! =)

Last night Ann and I had a dinner date, which is what I was sorely needing! We got to talk, really talk and just de-brief about everything without being rushed, or disturbed, without weirdness. Thanks Banan!

Tuesday Night I had Connect at QVB. My Connect Group rocks! I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know my new Connect-Mates. My buddy Marie is being baptised this weekend, and I am so excited. I am also thinking of sitting in at Kids Church to get a feel for the atmosphere. I have handed my forms in, and start my Partners in Vision course this Thursday, which gets my ball rolling. I have gotten in touch with someone about Treasure Chest too, which I am really excited about. Enrolment for Uni is in the next couple of months. Pray it all falls into place!

So that’s pretty much it for me…. my head hurts! SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP!
