March was horribly busy at work because I was trying to meet a lot of project deadlines and get things done before I took a week off at the beginning of April.
April was the reverse. While I still had a lot of work to do, the busiest time was outside of work.
I volunteered to work on a newsletter for the Ms. Wheelchair Nebraska, INC organization. Due to my computer crash earlier in the year I had limited software on my computer, so getting things edited was more of a struggle than I expected. After a few late nights, telephone calls and emails, it got put together. Thanks to FedEx Kinkos, and the help of some awesome people (Crystal, Scott, and Nicole) we got it all ready and sent out last week. Thanks especially to the board for their patience with me.
This was going on in the midst of my friend's wedding preparations. A Sunday spent getting the wedding 'favors' for the guest ready, a Pampered Chef shower, bachelorette party and decorating evening later, my friend was married last Saturday. I can't imagine what it must have been to plan and carry out the entire thing - I was exhausted from just my small part. (Friday night decorating the reception hall until around 11, then Saturday starting at 9:00 and going until 11 to clean up). Anyway - congratulations to Matt and Theresa - may their marriage be a long and blessed one.
Somewhere in there was a Sacred Chant festival where Eastern and Western Catholic rites came together for an eventing of lovely music. I helped at the reception. Then came a housewarming party for a friend who just bought a new house.
And finally, a sad moment as I had to attend a funeral for a friend's father. He was not much older than my own father, so that brings up uncomfortable thoughts. I was glad to be there for my friend - it was wonderful chatting with Julie and Karen and Dawn and Mike and seeing the new baby (Sean is so adorable - wish I had pics to share).
May your soul rest in peace Bill Rezac.
