Update gleaned from a letter to Katy

I’m too lazy to type this twice, so here’s an excerpt from my most recent letter to Katy. 

I had an interview for a transfer with Bank of America last Friday.  I thought it was going to be for the branch at Corporate Woods, but when the guy called it was actually a full time position at the branch at 95th and I-35.  (The one by Kohls and Winsteads)  I’m hopeful about this one, it wouldn’t start until after the 4th of July because the woman in the position is moving to Chicago then.  This would coincide well with a possible start date at Lenexa UMC.  I haven’t really heard much back from Lenexa UMC though.  The Pastor met with the president of Staff-Parish and the decision lies with Staff-Parish who meet next week.  I guess there is a conversation going on with the new pastor also, as she’ll be replacing the current pastor on July 1. Hopefully I’ll learn something more soon.  I sure would like for all of this to work out sooner rather than later.

This past weekend was super busy.  Chris and Sandy had their rehearsal and dinner on Friday night and then the wedding was Saturday.  It was beautiful.  It’s weird to think our friends are old enough to get married because they love each other, not just because they have a baby on the way. hahaha.  The wedding reception was a ton of fun.  Because Matt was a groomsman he sat at the head table, but the Wives and Girlfriends had their own table, so it was fun to get to know the wives and girlfriends of the groomsmen/some of Matt’s friends that I don’t know as well. Then Matt had to go and catch the damn garter, so everyone came up asking when our wedding was going to be.  This is after at the table during dinner the wives and girlfriends asked several times why we weren’t engaged if we’d been dating for four years.  ugh.  Anyway, I started telling people that if they asked or made comments about him catching the garter and us being the next to get married, they had to contribute to the wedding fund.  Sadly this did not lead to any monetary contributions. 

 

 I wore my “tall shoes.”  Matt was not thrilled about this.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then the best part of the weekend:  camping!!  I didn’t make it out until Sunday afternoon, but it was a blast.  I was drunk and then sober again before 10 pm that night. Awesome.  And, Kathy had a whole bag of marshmallows for us to throw into the fire for Katy. And, the biggest news of the weekend, it didn’t rain at all!  Not a single lightening flash, rumble of thunder or drop of rain until the little, teeny tiny sprinkle we got Monday morning while we were packing up to leave.  It was a Memorial Day Miracle! 

 

 

Tomorrow I’m headed to Kansas City right after work to see my favorite band in the whole world, The Decemberists.  I’m so excited!  Matt is a weanie and didn’t want to go, but I’m meeting up with some friends from WJC.  It should be epic.
