Unquestioned faith

Thursday is my Meals on Wheels day. Since school is back in session next Thursday today was my last day on the route. As I have written before, driving the route is both satisfying and depressing when you see how some people live. Today's day on the route showcased a different set of emotions. Sarah and I have been doing this for the better part of two full months and we have gotten to know some of the folks on the route. Like many of the people Ms. Avery is a sweet lady and is dependable for an entertaining conversation. She was a little off today and she shared that her granddaughter was killed in a car accident on Sunday. She had tremendous faith for a lady who lost a 20-year-old granddaughter. Ms. Avery just said that God thought it was her time and who was she to question God. I can't imagine such a loss, but for her to handle it in such a manner was something I found impressive.
Lunch was awesome today. Sarah and I went to Dreamland BBQ. Unfortunately, it was a farewell lunch for one of the many people who are leaving the athletic department after the move to Division III. These kinds of get togethers have been all too common. The worst part is that there will at least be one more. Sarah's direct supervisor has also given his notice and will be gone at the end of the month. When I moved here the only people I knew were Sarah and all her co-workers. I have made a few friends at work, so that is nice. As the mass exodus from BSC continues it feels like a draining of the people I know here. The people who have left have all done so because other opportunities that were better for them came up so I can't blame them. It is kind of like when you are a kid and a friend moves away. Sure, you can always make new friends, but it always sucks when the original friends leave.
From the wedding front, we have decided upon a date. We are getting married on June 22, 2007. The ceremony is going to be at Duke Gardens, we just asked for the date and they are sending us the contract. The date will be held for two weeks until, of course, they get their deposit money to solidify the date. The Hilton also appears to be our reception site, but the lady did not call us back today. That place is going to make our lives so easy since almost everything but the flowers is included in the price. Ah, good times.
I am going to get back to clearing space off the DVR. We watched two Law and Order: SVU episodes. The bad part is that they both have potential for the Street Law class. Therefore, they are still on the DVR chewing up space until I tape them. Yes, until I go back to school next week these are my problems. Damn, I love summer.
