11 Days ago I descended the escalator at the Charlotte airport after over 30 hours of traveling and laid eyes on my parents for the first time in over a year. I’m not a very emotional person... but I cried. The past 10 days have been one blessing after another. Here are just few!
Traveling to Boone, NC (a colder part of NC) to see my brother Randy. And wearing his down jacket to keep my thin African blood from freezing.
Getting 7 inches of hair cut off... after a year away from the scissors.
Hanging out with my parents... just the 3 of us.
Phone dates.
Going to Washington DC. Spending 3 wonderful days with Rachel. In which she patiently allowed me to say at least 100 times “Look at the leaves... oh my gosh... so beautiful.”
Warmish, amazing, beautiful fall weather! I was pretty worried about freezing my buns off after the eternal summer I've been living in for a year.
Lying in bed, under a lot of covers, talking late into the night with my sister.
Long breakfast conversation over oatmeal at the Caseys.
Trader Joe’s.
Seeing the Myhre’s. Getting a Julia hug... and a sweaty soccer hug from Jack.
Dunkin' Donuts with Erin on Sunday morning.
Catching up with friends.
Worshiping at Redeemer. The blessing of being prayed for. Taking communion and feeling the presence of the God right there with me.
Can’t wait for what the next 2 weeks have in store.
