WEEKEND!!!! SISTERS!!!!! YAY!!!!

-
This weekend marked the advent of Jay's two sisters', Keely and Amanda, coming down to San Diego. They are our first house guests, and the first to see what our life is like here in the Big "S.D". They arrived on Friday afternoon and we've spent the weekend driving about, visiting resorts and beaches and walking and going out to lots of dinners (and myself prob. gaining a couple pounds) but it has been great.
We started the evening at Sunset cliffs for some sightseeing and heading off to Werners' house (our gracious tour guide for the whole weekend!)
and found, halfway down the freeway that a little LIZARD had attached himself to the hood of our Subaru!! He stayed on the WHOLE way there -- I think he was a little shaken... (80miles/hour on the interstate could do that to ya)




We headed out on the town to the Gaslamp district to a couple pubs and walking the streets with all the other foriegn Friday nighters.

Saturday we went to Cornado Island, (a man made isle, see bridge we had to cross to get there) a VERY poshy type place, with cute but ritzy character. We visited the world famous Hotel Del Coronado and checked out the weird creepiness of it all. The building reminded me alot of the movie Titanic, lots of deep red wood paneling and chandeliers, and old crazy elevators...

the beach located outside the hotel is in the top 10 beaches in the world, and boasts a good view of open ocean and the tip of Point Loma (which is all military at the end)

We then went to scripps beach in La Jolla (pronounced La Hoiya) and just stared at the ocean and eventually the sunset, I could stay on the beach all day.



Today (Sunday) we took them to our church and spent the day relaxing and took in Pizza Nova for supper (for which now I am seriously heart-burning)

Jay has a job interview tomorrow for this great acoustic guitar shop close-by our house, so I will be praying about that...but tonight my heart is truly warmed and strengthened by some good news, which i'll share in a later blog.

Till next blog -- =) a.

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...

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...

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 ...
