Here at 207 we often find that partying the day before suits us better. Instead of Cinco de Mayo, we had Quatro de Mayo, instead of a 4th of July Party we had a 3rd of July Party.
The day before worked for most of our friends too. We were delighted to open our home to a few new friends, and some old friends and to watch them interact as if they have known one another for years. In the time that Mr. and I have been married we have been praying for friends - friends that would be 'ours' rather than just his and hers, friends that are at the same stage in life and friends to step in the gap that other dear friends have left. Last night it felt a little as if the Lord was bringing people to our home and saying here is an answer, here is an answer, here is an answer.... Part of that answer was a reminder of the friends He had already given us, and part of the answer was new.
So this morning, still in my pajamas at 11:47- oh how I love days off!! - it feels a bit like New Years Day rather than Independence Day. It feels like a day to dream about the possibilities of the next year- with friends, new and old.

What a blessing. What a wonderful thing to pray for.
Added bonus of '3rd of July' celebrations -- whatever weather hex hangs around D.C., thwarting people's holiday plans, doesn't seem to have heard of this 'night before' concept!
Thanks, God, for friends old and new.
