(I didn't take this picture, but this is from my beautiful hometown!)
The weekend was full of trying to frantically get ready for our trip on Monday. I got all my thesis work done that I needed to have done before we left! That means that I get a nice little break from thesis until our return back to Colorado. I am LOVING my thesis work, but thankful for some time to not think about it overly hard.
Yesterday, we left SUPER early to get to Denver for Bryson's meeting with the District Committee on Ordained Ministry. We had a very uneventful drive out, and my back held up super well for the 10.5 hours in the car. Praise God!
Bryson did a wonderful job at the meeting! The first question they asked him was "Would you be willing to serve in a rural church right off the bat?" ...Let's not discuss that topic right now... I tend to break into a cold sweat and my heart starts pounding out of my chest thinking where they might place us next year... BUT Bryson was approved by the district committee to go on to the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry! He is now property of the conference. They were super impressed with his organizational work in all of his paperwork and how he is getting to intern at Church of the Resurrection in KS next fall. I am so proud of him!
We got to Bryson's parent's house around 6:45. We thought we were having dinner with his parents. However, we were surprised by his brother and wife, and the Harris clan, which is like an extention of the Lillie house, also being there. It was an amazing night of love and friendship. I am so thankful for all the love and support and second families we have in Missouri, but it is wonderful to be home for a few weeks.
Today will be spent in Boulder, hitting up Celestial Seasonings and Pearl Street, and getting to see my mom and brother. All while basking in the glory of God's wonderful mountain creation.
