last single saturday

I keep having all these random moments of "ohh, this is my last time doing ___ as a single person..." or "this is my last weekend alone in my apartment..." etc. Which I think is normal for someone as sentimental and reflective as I am. This morning was my last small group with my wonderful friends before our wedding (which, as I write this, I realize is the moment Chuck and I will be driving away from our reception next week!). I thought it might be fun to forgo a formal bible study and offered instead to take the girls on a hike, something I haven't had time to do all quarter. Only 4 of us could make it, but we had a very enjoyable morning hiking to Monrovia falls and chatting. Then I spent the rest of the day attempting to pack up my apartment, which is proving to be a bigger job than I had originally anticipated. It's now 8:25 and I am actually in bed, about to fall asleep, that's how exhausted I am. Plus, I'm apparently battling some cold, which I would love for it to go away before everyone arrives in town next week since it is zapping my energy big time--and I think I'll need energy for all the amazing people I get to spend time with! So prayers for health this next week would be awesome! (And prayers that Chuck doesn't come down with it!) Here are a couple photos from this morning:
