I returned yesterday from the Engaged Encounter weekend a tired, beat pup. The engaged couples that attended were great. Palacios was well represented with approximately 1/5 of the couples. Friday and Saturday went as normal EE weekend days go. Saturday night; everything changed. Reconciliation went until 1:30am. Yes, that is one hour and thirty minutes into the beginning of Sunday. Then at 2:30am the clouds opened up and a torrential thunder storm came that nearly had me using my bed as a floatation device. And the thunder made me think the Renewal Center was experienceing mild earthquakes. Needless to say I didn't sleep much. I awoke Sunday (if you wanna call that awake) and filled myself with cafeine to make it through the morning that ended with Mass and then lunch. I remember little of the drive home, except picking up two stranded ladies who ran out of gas 22 miles from Halletsville and 12 miles from Yoakum. They had planned on walking to Hallettsville for gas. I took them to Yoakum instead and then returned to their van to put some gas in the tank. I finally got home too tired to go to sleep.
Two hours later I need more caffeine to deal with the teens at adoration and the meeting.
I sit here typing this still recovering from this past weekend, not sure if this is really happening. I hope to return to the real world soon!
