San Diego Sunset...

-
I have been doing alot of thinking just about life, and how we're really here.
We really are
(I know that sound obvious)
but I feel like I need to state it to myself



It seems so far away,
but unreal, since I still talk on the phone
to people in Edmonton

I remember when Friday nights were the crazy times you called your friends
and were a looser if you stayed home

and now I find myself just content
listening to quite soul music and thinking about life ...



It's just giant city here, water and sun, and the steady humm of humanity, the sunsets are amazing, they bring a quiet glow to everything, like all the busy-ness just stops for the moment you stare at the sky... I am sure that the sky is a different shade of sunset here..

Some assorted notes of interest...


I have found THE most WONDERFUL clothing store EVER, it's called Closets' everything is CRAZY CHEAP and really cool looking, I spent 35 $$ and got 5 pairs of socks 4 shirts and a pair of RAD (!!!) shoes. They have a 'frequent buyer' card too, so everytime you spend $$ there you get a stamp and after 10 stamps you get a $20 credit -- yay! I was pretty elated -----


We got our couch delivered today, (see photo) Jay really loves it, and I'm scared to sit on it.

I bought an espresso machine for $30 at the TARGET too, so it's warm morning java's from here on out

May God Bless you all and be with you this weekend -- Love, Amy

I think sunsets are always a different color when you're away from your friends and family. They're always richer in the long run though...

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

If I ever wondered if HE loved me

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

Today I have a bad attitude. It's not even like I have a really good excuse, in fact they are pretty pitiful but I'll share. I have this pretty uncanny ability to wake up RIGHT at my alarm ... I'm not talking in the general vicinity of when it goes off, by 5 or 10 mins ... this morning, I literally woke up walked to my phone and my alarm went off, that's like 30 seconds early. So, you would think the morning is off to a good start. I worked out and thought about sitting on my couch with my warm and fuzzy latte in hand and got to the fridge, only to realize that my darling husband had used all the milk. This is not a big deal (or it shouldn't be) but we actually really had no real food anyways, no eggs, not even a bun or toast, so my breakfast hiatus from my day was thwarted. Never fear, I can get food at work - no biggie. So, work is work. I drive, I arrive. It's corporate, and now, thanks to our inter-office move, ridiculously quiet. And it's good, none ...
