Sunny with a high of 75...

well actually, 65 but either way, PRAISE THE LORD FOR SUNSHINE! It is my second full day in Phoenix, AZ and I am absolutely loving it down here. I'm spending the holiday with my Aunt and her family down in Arizona and I get to stay here for 3 WHOLE WEEKS! This is the very first time that I have been here to visit by myself and I can already tell that it will be by far my most favorite time here. Yesterday evening, my cousin's beautiful girlfriend, Eden, took me to her favorite mall in Phoenix. Ever heard of H&M? That is her favorite store and I think that it is definitely moving up on my list! It has been very cool having someone to hang out with down here. In the past, my brothers have been able to play video games and do boyish things while I stay in my room and read. But last night we went to a variety of different stores, including Anthropologie which I had never actually been inside before! It smells like heaven, let me tell you :) We ended up spending a couple hours inside Barnes and Noble with cups of tea and just talking. She is so sweet and has such a big heart, not to mention that she is DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS. (pictures soon to come ;))

Today, I am spending the day at Eden's apartment while David(my cousin) goes to work. I guess I'm kind of on a war-movie kick haha. We have already watched Gladiator and we are currently watching Braveheart (such a gory movie!) Anyhow, today has been a good day so far and I am excited to see what the rest of the week holds!

Just a little something to make envious you Oregonians. Above is the sunrise from our balcony. I am so thankful for sunshine.

Day 1: who would have thought the RAIN would follow me to Chicago?!

Well, it has been nearly 24 hours since I touched down in the windy city and let me tell you, it has been NOTHING like what I expected it to be. First off, the rain I encountered upon arriving would have seriously given Oregon rain a run for it's wet money. I kid you not, there was seriously a flash flood advisory for the evening! However, unlike Oregon, the weather was probably 75 degrees--something I was NOT used to. Luckily, I didn't have to spend too much time in the rain because my shuttle driver had arrived on time and was ready to whisk me off to my hotel in the 'burbs. *here is some free advice: when traveling to somewhere you are not familiar with like, say, CHICAGO, check to see if the airport has a shuttle service--that way you do not have to pay up the wazoo in taxi fares.  After a somewhat awkward ride in the shuttle bus,(while taking a shuttle may be the cheaper option, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. In my case, since the driver was not expect

California, here we come...

Image
Tomorrow morning, me and 3 of some of my favorite people will be roadtrippin' it down to the Golden State of California (specifically San Fran) for 3 days. We have no agenda really which is incredibly exciting. We see it as a ripe opportunity to be lead by the Spirit for a few days as we fellowship with people as well as enjoy each other AND God's creation. Ironically, though, it is supposed to be hotter here than it will be in San Francisco which is sort of counter-intuitive but as my dear friend Alexis says, "It's all good!"
