March 1st, brought back some frightful memories of 3/1/07. The Enterprise Torndado that day is something I'll never forget, and the storm this year was a vivid reminder.
This has been a crazy month. I haven't blogged about it and I can barely remember most of it. What I do know is that I'm so sick and tired of the cold weather. My parents got 4-6 inches of snow last night! People are on "Spring Break" and no one can play ball or go to the beach because it is freezing. We're still running the fire place and heater occasionally. Ughhh......
So I'm ready for March to SLOW DOWN! I'm ready for the kind gentleness of the 'Lamb' to take hold of my life and escort me into our Easter celebrations.
March Highlights Include:
-Alydersgate Youth Retreat...an amazing weekend with Centertreee and some awesome teens and counselors!
-Kristin and Craig's wedding!!!
- A visit from The Raborn's that featured the delivery of my evil Girl Scout Cookies! And some pretty cool Easter gifts to go along with them!
- The dawning of my High School Reunion, invitations went out, some have already RSVP'ed!
Otherwise everything else has been work and a blur!
Since I'm here I'm going to take a moment and vent.........don't be offended if this statements includes you and/or isn't 100% true...but it's just how I feel today.
I think, that I go out of my way to include and/or plan fun social events for us and our friends. I am constantly thinking of our next big thing. I like to do it, that's why I do it. I'm always inviting more people than I know will attend, just so people feel welcomed. Yet, I'm constantly amazed at how few things I am socially invited to.
When was the last time ANYONE said we would like to take you out and celebrate your birthday? OR hey we're going to do THIS, would you like to come along? Partly this is about my friends/family but I mostly feel for Stephen. He's rarely ever invited to do anything, yet he's also always part of the planning process and inviting others along.
Perhaps its the kind of company we provide, and perhaps its just the friends we've surrounded ourselves with. As for my friends, who know how much I like to plan, organize, invite, celebrate, etc. I'm not putting a guilt trip out there, I'm just sayin that in the future, I'd simply like to be invited to something.
Ever feel left out? Or am I just feeling dopey and alone today?
