Returned home from Utah last Saturday evening, only to discover we had no power and would not be receiving power until the following Friday. After 5 days of no relief from Pepco, I have sought shelter at my cousin's house, from where I am currently typing this here blog post. I'm happy to report that I have accomplished absolutely nothing these past 5 days aside from flipping our generator on every 2 hours to keep the refrigerator going and confirming that my cousins' dog, Shao, is indeed mentally deficient (after attempts to assault a fire hydrant and dump trump).
Meya's + Bryant's wedding was most splendid. Yes yes...twas splendid and such leading up to the wedding day. Alpine sledding, starting a campfire in the mountain forest in the midst of forest fire warnings (like a boss), watching Meya graciously receive her bachelorette gifts (edible undies and all), and being a part of some off-the-chain fellowship with the bridesmaids as we prayed over Meya throughout the weekend. It was just super encouraging to see what an awesome group of sisters the Lord has blessed Meya with and experience all the love/support surrounding her that weekend. Good grief, He is good.
...even when brides wake up with food poisoning on their wedding day. Because when Meya walked down that aisle, no one in the whole entire world could have guessed that only a few hours prior, she had been violently vomiting a concoction of saltine crackers and coke into a kitchen bowl as her hair was being curled. She was... ridiculously riveting and I don't think a single bridesmaid was able to hold their crap together during that ceremony. To be honest, didn't have a clue as to whom this Bryant fellow was until AFTER said ceremony when the toasts were being made. His college buddy, Jake, shared stories of Bryant's persistent pursuit in sharing the love of Christ with him and how he was never scared to be 'that guy' to ask those challenging and probing questions. At one point Jake just broke down and all he could manage to say from there was, "He loves Jesus". And it was at that point I realized what a godly, obedient, courageous, humble, faithful, loving, and awesome man the good Lord had brought to my cousin...and I didn't even have a single conversation with the guy. Congrats Bryant and Christina...so so so happy for you and so excited to see what the good Lord has in store for you guys as one.
and now I officially have zero 'Chen' cousins.
