Guys, this week is NUTS!
I’m going to try and post about the Willow Leadership Summit later this week, but the annual Launch Retreat for Watermark Young Adults is this weekend and I’ll be working my tail off to make sure that comes together in time before I leave Friday, so no promises. But I did see THIS (via gizmodo) today. It looks like Burj Dubai is almost complete. This tower is NUTS!
Yeah I’m still kickin.
Between my New Orleans/Atlanta trip for Zack and Meredith’s wedding, the Willow Creek Leadership Summit and ECHO conference (both hosted by Watermark), Matt’s been a busy boy the last couple weeks. Rest assured that this blog will live again with posts about all those things. Let’s get things started.
Wow. What a great time I had in NO/ATL. It all started with me flying down to New Orleans on Wednesday to meet up with Zack. For those of you who don’t know, Zack is more than my best friend. He’s about the closest thing I’ve ever had to a big brother. To get to be with him over these next few days was such a blessing. I helped him get his new house in order that night and then he and I and Nora the golden retriever hopped in a car and set off for Atlanta.
Nora and Uncle Matt got to be buddies. And no, it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I might’ve slipped her a few cheese fries here and there. Nothing at all. Nora loves me. More than you.
We spent most of the rest of Friday running errands like picking up tuxes for the other groomsem as they arrived. It was a blast to get to see Zack’s brother Andy as well as Kristy, Mike, Chad, Nic, and April again. It’d been a few years. It was even more awesome how we all just fell right back into step with each other…cuttin’ up like it was 2003.
Zack’s bachelor party was perfect I think…even though hardly anything actually went the way we planned.
And what can I say? The wedding was beautiful. It seems like Zack and I have been talking about his wife since the day we met. To see God bless him and finally deliver him an amazing woman was incredible. Our friend James gave me a hard time afterwards because while all the bridesmaids were standing stoic…there was Matt…crying like a baby. It was awesome.
The reception was fun. Zack had Graeter’s ice cream instead of a groom’s cake and there was bottled Cheerwine…something I hadn’t had since moving out west.
After the happy couple pulled out to go seal the deal, the entire wedding party hung around an extra night to go hang out with each other in Atlanta. I had a blast. It was just so good to see everyone again. Did my heart wonders. I have some amazing friends and it was awesome to share and celebrate Zack and Meredith’s moment with them.
There’s more to talk about here, but I’ll save it for another day. It’s just incredible to see just how good God is when he’s allowed to move in his own damn time.
So to Zack and Meredith: friends worth waiting on!
