Love is Patient, Love is Kind...

This weekend was full of beautiful ceremonies, each with their own beauty.

First off, congratulations to Sandra and Luis Trujillo on a beautiful wedding! I feel so honored to be a part of it and watch two people really come together in a beautiful ceremony.

Standing up there (in the freezing cold) listening to First Corinthians really made me think a lot about love. True love, that is. It really is effortless and amazing. Anyone who can experience that in their life is so so lucky. Not everyone in the world can find something like that, and I think it's really a blessing if one has.

Two days previous to the wedding, I attended Zach's memorial service and was astounded. I have never witnessed so many people that were touched and affected by one single person. There were upwards of about 1,000 people who attended the service, each knowing Zach personally and presumably being personally affected by him in one way or another. The speeches, music, and memories were incredible- total tear jerkers- but incredible. Life is so fragile. It makes you think about yourself, and the people surrounding you. You never know when someone can be taken away from you, especially someone that you may take for granted. I know that every single person at the service was shocked by Zach's death, and I'm positive that his death brought about closeness and gratitude for our lives.

So moral of the week: Love is patient and kind. Life is beautiful. Be grateful of everything you have, even if it feels like it's not much. Because you never know when it will be taken away from you.

Until next time,
