Melancholy

So, it has been a while since I last blogged. It's not that I don't have some great events to write about, it's just that I have been in a melancholy funk and don't really see my happenings with any exciting importance.

I went to Oklahoma this last weekend. My niece's birthday was celebrated this last weekend. I had fun hanging out with my cousins and siblings. We painted my brother and his wife's house since he is away in the military. Unfortunately, that turned into a huge argument between me and my mother. It is a shame that every time my family gets together with mixed generations, there always seem to be some kind of misunderstanding and an argument follows. This time it involved me with my mom...kinda odd that we decided to argue up in Oklahoma...we could have stayed here in Celina for that. I am glad that we were able to get the painting done for Whitney. I enjoy visiting with her. She and Katie are such a great additions to our family. Katie got a lot of great presents.

Saturday evening, my cousins, their spouses, my brother James, and I went to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar. I had never been. It was fun getting to visit with just our age group. I wish I lived closer and was able to hang out with my cousins more often. We are quite the diverse group. I am so glad that we are learning to appreciate each other more the older we get.

It is a beautiful day here in Celina. Makes me want to stay outside. I am very fortunate to have a desk right next to the big window. I get to see everyone who drive through downtown Celina. It is one of the treats of living and working in a small town.

The pastor of a new church her in town came into my office today and sat at my desk and visited with me about starting to attend their church. He understands the reservations I have about going to church right now, and some of my views of life. We are going to have lunch together on Tuesday to visit more in depth. I really appreciated him coming in and visiting with me. He is a nice guy. I look forward to our visit next week.

Tomorrow is the last day of work this week for me. My best friend, Alyssa, is getting married on Saturday. I will be working on the wedding the last two days of the week. I am really excited that she and John D. are getting married. They are a great couple. I love when couples are truly in love now-a-days. It will be a fun weekend. I am sure I will be glad when it is all over though.

Well, I guess I had better get some work done. Have a great day/week/weekend.
