I realize it has been far too long since I have posted here!
This is now starting my second week of Christmas break, and I must say that the start of break was a little rough but today was amazing! Let me start at the beginning...
Yesterday I went to Anna Horn and Andrew Wilson's wedding (which was beautiful, I am so happy for them). I got home around 8:00pm and with the rest of the night being rather uneventful I texted my friend Emily to see if she had left Hawaii or not. With no response by about 10:00, I figured she was home in Vancouver and I dosed off early. At 1:30am I woke up suddenly, for no apparent reason, but being wide awake I checked my phone and loe and behold there was a text from Emily at 11:30 saying she had been re-routed through Oakland. I text her back my grievances for her delay, and again another surprise! She text me saying she was stuck in Oakland! This just started a whole chain of crazy events and by 2:38am I was on the road to Oakland!
Arriving around 5:30am we headed out to the nearest Denny's and had a scrumptulous breakfast. With a laugh and a thought of are we really in an Oakland Denny's at 5:30 on January 21st, it was no doubt God had set up this wonderful adventure. We headed into Berkeley and toured the campus, taking some fun pictures, looking at the amazing architecture, and wondered what it would have been like to go to a school like this. Though when it started raining, we remembered how we wouldn't have wanted to train anywhere else but Hawaii!
After saying our goodbyes around 11:00 nearly ten hours after this ordeal had started, I headed out. As I passed through Pleasanton I stopped at my God-sister's house and my uncles house leaving surprise Christmas notes on each's door. The drive to and from went rather well, I wasn't sure with the "no music" rule if I would make it, but it was some much needed alone time with God and my thoughts...
I arrived home around 3:00pm and just laughed at the whole day... it was exactly what I needed and I am SO SO SO thankful to have seen Emily, I miss her a whole lot! God is so good to put little promptings in our hearts (like the one to drive to Oakland at 2 in the morning) and if we are willing to act on them it is amazing what a blessing they become!
