Russell Thornberry, editor of Buckmaster magazine, was invited once again to give a short seminar about bow hunting with a great question an answer time, followed by a solid personal testimony and gospel presentation. It was great to see upwards of 60 new faces at the event with a total of 130ish.
It was also good to see FOOD. Lots of coffee cake, Deer meat and cheeeeeeese.
For you crazies who don't like to eat anything that once had a face, let me make something clear. It still has a face, hangin' comfortably on the wall.
Lee Wedding
TimLee and his almost bride, Nicole, sing with their guests during another fantastic wedding at Bethany. I'm kinda getting sick of time flying by so fast. It really really really felt like just yesterday that we were counting down the days when Tim would be leaving for the UK after a few months spent working in the US, probably never to return. And then again the next year...and again the next year :-) There were a ton of Brits who flew in for the awesome occasion. The best man, Tim's friend Ian, gave a good message during the service and a hilaious (spelled like Tim says it) toast at the reception. I then hitched a ride with a carpool to the reception...We've had alot of teaching and thoughts about singleness and contentment in my Sunday School group recently. I have some doubt about contentedness when best friends can easily consider each other as ticking biological clocks and waiting for a prince or princess. I'd like to offer clear and simple proof that I am currently having very little struggle with being content as a single.
I submit that no guy can post a picture like that on a blog, read largely by women (I did not say large women) or allow pictures like this on other blogs and still place a high priority on finding a woman. But wait, is that a girl hungin' all over you? No, I'm not so naive and lied to as to say I'm content in front of a bunch of people...as long as I got a woman sitting next to me or a baby on my lap. That's Becky playing "corners" as the driver, Amanda, swerves wildly around corners. Noah was on the other side getting squished on right turns.
Reception was great. It was the same place as Greg and Steph's wedding what...two years ago??? Sheesh.
I noticed this time around that any happy couple gets so used to people taking drive by pictures that they pose without missing a beat. I'm pretty sure they had no idea who was taking this picture or even remembered it happened two seconds later.
Yup, definitely dancing at this gig. I was not thoughtful enough to realize that I had carpooled with the dancing crew to the reception, and that it would be a full night before I would get to leave. Darn hippies! :-) Thank you Joey and Kari for giving me a ride home early!
The DJ at the reception has been used for Ben and Ashley's, The Moons and Andrew and Ashley's weddings. So he's developed a comfort with this crowd, and some knowledge about what they like to do. JoshM had to step up to the plate with a dance he did at his own wedding.
Eventually the rest of the wedding party followed suit.
I like to think that Nicole is saying, "What did I tell you about dancing like that at our wedding? And take off these silly British flag suspenders!!" Juuuuust kidding Nicole.
Sunday Lunch
Sunday, Tom and Bev, one of our married Sunday School leaders, hospitalitized us with lunch at their place. Very enjoyable and a great job prepping! Here we have the big table.
Here we have the comfort zone, Food.
And the kiddie table. :-)
