Moulon Rouge, Part I

Despite the fact that I have no pictures, yet, I do have the best friends in the world. Evidence of that was grandly displayed at the Beautiful, and slightly scandelous, bridal shower on Friday night.
There were those feather boa thingys, and champagne, and food, and rather a lot of ladies. I am rich in my variety of friends. There were sisters and mothers, homeschool moms and lacrosse moms, dedicated Christians, and even my two favorite lesbians.
Jessie opened our time with a prayer of thanksgiving and dedication to the God of Creation.
These women, whether they love the Lord, or not, had the opportunity to hear that God is Faithful, and that He is the Giver of Good Gifts. The entire evening was a celebration of romance. God's best is worth waiting for.
This time in my life is so joyful. People seem drawn to that. It's been a chance to tell, over and over again, of all that God has done.
You're still thinking about the fact that I said "lesbian," aren't you? I don't know why those girls put up with me, but they are very respectful and gracious to my bible believing, right-wing ways. I love them, and I pray that they see something of Jesus in me. Plus, they are sweethearts, and I quite like them.
But, as I was telling you, I have great friends.
There was this room full of people. Some I'd known for 2 years, some for 35, most somewhere in between. I felt so surrounded by love in that room. Nevermind that my mother flunked the test called "How Well Do You Know Kelly?" She did. She flunked. Mother, remember all those times I shouted "You just don;t understand me!"? Well, turns out I was right.
Who won that, anyway? I can't remember who won. It was one of those bridal shoower games. There was one where they quized me about Tim, to see how well I know him. I got a 50%, so don't be judging Mother too harshly. I plan to study the half I don't know after the wedding.
Speaking of the Wedding!!!! Did I tell you how our scandal rocked the church? Celebate Christian Couple Denied Church Wedding.... Well, now we're back to being married there by our favorite pastorish person!
So, that's good news.
Have you ever seen so many links in one blog?
.....Now I'm totally off track and distracted from reading all my old blogs while trying to link for this one. I'm giving up. I'll be back tomorrow to tell you all about the stuff I acquired at the stimulating party on Friday night.
