Well, we are here in California! (Any bad people who are reading this e-mail thinking this would be a good time to find out where we live and break in, my dad will be there the whole time we are gone and he's a black belt in karate and a powerful hypnotist!)
I am happy to be here to see family and friends. I drove by the house I grew up in and hardly recognized it. It was sad. Things have changed so much and I've changed so much. Sometimes change is hard to deal with. It just makes the past so final. It scares me that time passes so quickly and then that's it, there's no turning back, no gaining back those minutes or hours. My only comfort in this is that the Lord is my life. He's my goal and purpose and He is eternal. There is no time with him. If that's the case, then there is no lost time with Him and even if it takes a lifetime (and a bit of eternity) to become completely one with him, there's always time.
Anyhow, back to vacation...we've only been here a day and a half and already we've had Vince's Spaghetti, Sammy's breakfast burritos and Juanitas tacos. We are going to come back a lot bigger! (Please don't forward this to Dr. Monk!!!) There's just no good take out in colorado. I'll trade it though. I definitely think colorado has more pro's that cons.
Will write more when anything exciting happens, like Thanksgiving and black Friday.
