We just got home from our last trip of the year. A whirlwind tour of Northern Minnesota to celebrate my nephew Blake's wedding to the beautiful Sarah! As I have gotten older, I've become more emotional and sentimental. Being with so many people I love ( only missing Ellenor), made this event a bit of a cry fest for me.
Without further ado, let me introduce the newest member of our family, Sarah.
Have you ever met a person that emits so much energy and love that you are overcome with emotion?! This woman is the real deal! She's warm and authentic. I truly believe that she gives you her full attention when you talk to her. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we forget to notice each other. She notices everyone around her.
It took us 17 hours, with stops, to get to Lake Winnie. These trips are very stressful for me with all of the packing and worrying about how the kids are handling the long hours in the car. It didn't take long for me to feel the peace and love that the weekend would bring. When you open yourself to feel the love and energy around you, you have no option but to pour that out to others. This is what I took away from Blake and Sarah's wedding weekend.
What will you pour out to others today?!
