After a long day at work today, it was nice to settle in with my wife to watch our new DVD – Hillsong & Delirious – live in Sydney, Australia.
We were enjoying our Taco Bell and the live music when the phone rang.
On the other end was my old buddy Jon McGough – a childhood friend from my growing-up years in Rochester, New York.
He was pleased to announce his engagement and that he had asked my father to do the wedding! Wow!
So folks, my wife and I are now working on plans to attend a California wedding on the weekend of May 29th!
Wow.
Today was a great day. Tomorrow holds quite an adventure.
Another phone call earlier this evening from my brother, Wesley Pate announced a visit from two of the brotherhood tomorrow. Yes, folks – Wes and Brandon Schenck will be making the trek from Berne to Warsaw for some good times.
Only time will tell what the three of us find to do in the hours that are Thursday, January 20th. I admit a child-like anticipation builds within my soul as I await the hour that those two arrive on my doorstep, bb-guns being unloaded on my still waking-up body.
Will we ever grow up?
I mean, no one comments? Evidently I am the only person who reads this who grew up with you back in the Rochester days! Rochester has been on my heart a lot this week – brought a lot of brother/sister memories – did you catch the double meaning? :) yeah anyway – so I wanted to say a public congrads to Jon and Laura! It’s so great that one of my favorite families ever is growing!
California! Wow! That will be an exciting get-away for you both!
That California get-away will come just in time to celebrate your first wedding anniversary!!
