Colin Warren: the blog

The last couple of weeks have been hectic and I’m making myself sit down to write a short post to help get some sign-off from what’s been happening.

The wedding was a great day, everyone looked beautiful, the weather was perfect, and we had a wonderful service & celebration. Very good to enjoy the day with loved ones, family & friends and to catch up with everyone. Lots of nerves of course (the first one where we played the role of parents), but once things got under way, we were all swept up in the moment and the plans all went smoothly.

Then it was off to Brisbane the next weekend to catch up with family and attend a youth club reunion. During the 70s we lived in Toowong and attended the Reformed Church there and went along to the youth club. It was a pretty amazing day to catch up with people I hadn’t seen for over 30 years and here the stories of their lives over that time. Marriages, children, work, travel, illness, parents, and lots of laughs reminiscing over old times and adventures had as young adults. It was a pity the time was so short, as it’s difficult to catch up so much time in a few hours over an afternoon. Maybe I’ll get along to it again if there’s another one next year…

So, taking a breath now and very glad that I don’ have any big commitments for a while. It’s time to slow down and pick up that book I was reading, watch those DVDs we’ve been planning to see, and get back into some exercise…
