"learn from your mistakes, but do not let them define you."

i don't know why i always have so few words to say when i'm doing well.

i wish i were worse at complaining, and better at bragging.

i finally said, "i'm ready." 

i'm healing quickly now, and that adorable young man helps, so much.

yesterday, i attended the wedding of a good friend.

i felt unmitigated, pure joy when i saw the look on his face as his bride slowly strode down the aisle, 

as i listened to her take her final vow, " and to be your best friend," with tears streaming down her face,  

and when, as their first act of marriage, took communion together, in Christ's honor.

A couple centered around God, loving and serving both one another, and Him.

I wish you could have been there.

mostly because chloe and i looked super cute.
