Two and a Half Weeks Later

Despite what some of you may think, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. What a GREAT two weeks it has been. Daniel and I went to his family's Christmas and then he got to experience ours. I stayed in Pleasanton the whole break. I spent lots of time with Daniel, helped Mom and Dad around the house, stayed up late visiting with my friend Caleb, and just relaxed. For two weeks, I did not even think about work (well, except for a few minutes here and there). It was the best Christmas/New Years that I can remember.

I consider myself a pretty independent person. I've built a quiet little life here in Houston that I have grown to like. Sure there are some things about being here that are not my favorite but, for the most part, the good outweighs the bad. However, the past two weeks have shown me something better - life full of so many beautiful things that I expected to only watch other people experience. All I can say looking back on it all is that our God is so good! Now, less than 48 hours back at home and I miss it! I am thankful for every moment and memory but I really miss actually being there. I feel almost silly to admit how much.

Who knew?
