Fairfax!!!

It's official! I'm am now a resident of Fairfax, VA, and my car will soon be, too. My parents are in NE today, and are hoping to end the day in IN. We'll see what happens. I start work tomorrow, first thing. Not much down time. More to come soon!

Some Final Goodbyes

This has been a busy last week here in SFO. I spent Wednesday night with my women's Bible study small group.

Then I had lunch today with some of the friends from my other church group, CPC Twenties Ministry.

In both cases, fun was had by all, and I will MISS these friends!!!

A Long Layover in Boston

I had the privilege of staying overnight in downtown, Boston this past weekend on a layover. In fact, I was even there the morning of the Boston Marathon!

Of course, I left before the race started to come back, but I did see a lot of the participants! Especially while walking through the beautiful parks and gardens right in the city center.

I love it when cities take time to make themselves beautiful, so that people can enjoy the outdoors right down town. This garden was breathtakingly beautiful.

I spent some time just enjoying the sunshine for a while. Then I overheard a dad say that he was taking his kid to church.

Having just slept through my opportunity to go to church in the morning (I worked all night), I was curious to see where they were headed. I ended up walking back towards my hotel, where this church had people coming in and out of it. And the church bells were ringing. I took a moment to read the sign, and found out Dr. John Piper was speaking at the service which started 5 minutes later. Amazing. I got to go to church on a layover, which is extremely difficult to do. Not only that, I got to be blessed by one of today's best expositors of Scripture.

This gives me much hope at finding a great church once I move to D.C., which is my biggest prayer request right now. My Abba loves me!!!

One Last Visit. . . . .

. . .to the Golden Gate Bridge!!! And what a spectacular day it was. My mom and I took a break from doing last minute errands, before moving to DC, and went to the bridge. Mom had never been there, and God gave us a breath-taking day to be there. I didn't even need a jacket, which is rare when you're right there by the bay! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON THESE PANORAMIC ONES TO GET THE WHOLE EFFECT!!!

This is my favorite panorama one.

A self portrait. . .about the only one that I got both of us, as well as the bridge.

There's probably a lot of people who take this shot, but I love the Golden Gate with the city through the bars. Really pretty.

Now, how can you tell that SHE'S a happy camper!!!

This is where we had supper. . . who knew Taco Bell could have such a great view out the window!! I think this could be in a commercial for them. . . .

Happy Easter!!!

Life has been super busy these last weeks, and I was so thankful to spend Easter afternoon with some friends and their little bundle of joy!

Doesn't she just make you want to smile? Me, too!

She was getting tired by the time this picture got taken, but its still cute, I think!

This is the whole fam. Not bad!

And, just to make sure you got as much joy as possible the first time. . . . .
