Commencement

The University of Richmond had it's 179th Commencement yesterday. It was a great ceremony that amazingly only took two hours. Of course, there were a lot of things that went on before that such as the Baccalaureate service, a fancy lunch in D-hall and lots of waiting around for the ceremony to actually get started. Josh did a reading at the Baccalaureate service of 1 Corinthians 13 and did so well. He sounded very pastoral. Josh's family was here so I walked around and hung out with them. We had a good time.

And now they're gone and Josh and I begin a long-distance relationship, which kind of sucks but I think we'll be OK. At least we have cell phones, e-mail and Facebook!

Josh and I also went to the first wedding of the summer on Friday. Our friends Brittany and Patrick were married at a small church that her dad pastors. It was a very nice ceremony, including when they gave everyone there communion and I dropped my bread in the juice goblet. Brittany and I will soon be able to commiserate together because Patrick leaves for Army reserve boot camp in about a month. At least we'll have each other.

Now there are only two weddings and two graduations left for the summer. Until then, I plan on doing a whole lot of nothing with a little babysitting, working at the Blue Heron and organizing a mission trip thrown in there.
