California Dreamin'

One week ago, my friend Allyson and I began to make our way westward toward one of the most beautiful places ever- San Diego California. With our car packed to the rim carrying Allyson’s belongings for the next three months, we spent two solid days in the car, talking, laughing, dancing, praying, and seeing the countryside in five different states! My goal was to update my blog at the end of each day, but clearly that didn’t happen. However, I want to share my experiences with you now. I couldn’t help myself, but I took hundreds of pictures throughout the course of the week, mostly because I was surrounded by amazing people- like my family and friends, but also because of California’s unsurpassed beauty. Unfortunately, I only get to share a few with you here.

Growing up, I spent every free moment I possibly could in California, and always dreamed of living there. Although that has never happened for me, I am glad I was able to support one of my closest friends as she moved out there to take on a travel nursing position. Even though, I feel like a part of me is missing now that she is gone, I couldn’t be more thrilled for her, and for me, since I can visit her often.

It is so clear, from the moment we left, that the Lord was in every detail. And throughout the week, time and again the Lord showed up in big ways! We had a safe trip, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, free hotel rooms (thank you Uncle Eddy), inspiring talks, times of profound intercession, great food, amazing company among family and friends, the gorgeous sights (especially the beach), and a remarkable new apartment in an ideal location!

Talk about a memorable trip!
