June

So, I know I don't blog nearly as frequently as I should, but here's to trying to post monthly.

Life is a crazy thing. Ya know? You can plan it out as much as you want, but that doesn't mean it's going to turn out the way you think it will or should. And that, right there is the kicker. Because then you get to decide that you're okay with that. So plan A didn't work out? Oh well, onto plan B. Or, maybe there was an unexpected event in your life. Oh well, that's just life. Really. That's just how life is. And you know what else? It's like that for everybody. Not that knowing that always makes it easier, but sometimes it's nice to have someone to commiserate with. As was discussed in Sunday School a few weeks ago, the rains came for both the man who built his house upon the rock and the man who built his house upon the sand. The difference being that one was prepared and the other was not.

So how do we prepare for the unexpected or the unknown? Should we just stop planning? Yeah... I didn't think so either. But's what the point in planning when it rarely turns out as planned?Does it ever seem like the cruel irony of a loving god? No? Oh, I guess it's just me then.

Anyway, so far has been a good month. At the beginning of the month I got to go to my dear friend Lynnessa's wedding in Arizona. It was hot, seriously, so hot, boiling lava hot! But we had a good time anyway! They were married on June 5th.

Morning of the wedding.
Lynnessa's hair = done. My hair = not done.
Our makeup = definitely not done!

Waiting in anticipation for the march down the aisle.

Listening as Bishop Meacham marries them. I love Stephen's grin here.

The kiss that sealed the deal.

Their beautiful wedding cake!
