AFTT&E

August First Two Thousand and Eight. 

1) I laughed for the 2nd night in a row watching "Wipeout". We played the highlights for Matty last night, and I just laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. I love laughing, and I love things that are funny. That show, isn't just funny, its hysterical- and the laughter comes from such a deep place its cathartic. 

2) My dad is officially in Virginia. My last family member has moved out of Connecticut, I no longer have a 'home base there'. I am really sad about that. I didn't think I would be sad about it, as I have not frequently visited the North in recent years... but I am sad. While joyful that now I don't have to drive 8 hours to see Stan the Man definitely eases the sadness. 
There is not a stop light between my dad's new place and my house...

3) I have talked to some great friends this week. I have had some amazing conversations that have left me feeling like their arms were wrapped around me in a hug of complete understanding, and been able to share in their stories of life and growth. I have laughed with them about the comedy of life, the ridiculous situations we find ourselves in, and I have been encouraged by their prayers. I am blessed by those who have pursued me like Christ, and have loved me better than I them.
