Life is pretty good...

Alright, I feel like there's so much going on in life right now. God is doing big things on the outside and the inside. I haven't written in a while so here's a bit of an update. I went on a holiday with my family to San Diego at the end of April. I can honestly say it was two of the best weeks I've ever had. I really do love my mom and sister, and I just came to a new found appreciation and respect for them and basically just want to hang out with them all the time... so that was great. I came home at the beginning of May to a new home. My great new room-mate Erica and many wonderful friends worked long and hard and moved my small little apartment to our third floor new home. I have been dreaming about community and living here in this neighbourhood for a while and so living here kind of feels like a dream come true. We have gotten to know our neighbours and have sat on the floor as we visited and heard all about Afghanistan. I come home in the evening and there are always groups of kids that come running up to talk and try to talk me into playing with them. It's just wonderful. There is just so much community and life here and I love everything about it... the inside has been harder... It feels like everything in life is new. It's hard to start with everything new. To leave things behind that you wish you could keep, but I feel a peace. Sometimes we just need to step out to get his peace, and to hear his voice a little louder. So life is pretty good right now. I'm not working for a few months and so I'm trying to relax, visit with friends, make new friends, and just be... So that's about it. Life is full of potential right now and only God knows what He's going to do with it all. But I'm pretty sure it's going to be more than I can imagine.

On another note, I have realized that as I look at blogs I always like the ones with pictures. So here's a few pictures...



Erin and I at Disneyland. The funnest day ever! It really is the happiest place on earth!!!




My auntie Carroll came to hang with us for a week and this her and my mom after a long day in Disneyland. They are so funny when they get together.



This is us riding bikes at Mission Beach. I think I was made to be by the ocean!



Hollywood is so weird. We travel so far only to see some stars on the sidewalk. Weird, yet strangely fun.



Mom and Erin in Me-hee-ko!

And that's all the pictures for tonight. I hope you are all having a fabulous long week-end.
