I can't believe I live here. yep. It's just as beautiful as it was when I left. But, I don't love it here because of the gorgeous weather and sandy beaches. I've missed these people. Seriously. I am blessed with a wonderful community - roommates, church, and other Biola students. And, they are a lot of fun!
I arrived safely into Santa Ana Thursday night and was greeted warmly by my dear friends - Anna, David, and Anna's bff from Missouri: Adie. We went and had FRO-YO! (Of course...it's my favorite SoCal treat!) ...Imagine a plethora of delicious (and somewhat healthy) flavors that explode in your mouth with a variety of tasty toppings. I love this stuff...you should come out and visit me and we will have some!
After fro-yo, the adventerous trio headed down to Hollywood. Yes, it was a late night. But, Hollywood is less crowded with tourists at nightime. We just enjoyed being with each other and exploring the city...listening to music with the windows down on the freeway. :)
Friday, I woke up fairly early (considering the previous night's adventures) and spent some quality time with my good friend, Sherry. She is a grad student from Taiwan and goes to the same church as me. She has been such a blessing!
In the afternoon, I went to Anna's house and we took underwater pictures in the pool! (In our clothes). I'm waiting to see how they turned out...I may post a few. Adie is a professional photographer!
Friday night I borrowed Ellen's car (she was out of town) and drove to see Cara & Dan - the newly engaged couple! I had dinner at Dan's house and really loved seeing the two of them together! Dan is going to help me buy a car, or so I'm hoping. He is a very trustworthy guy.
Saturday morning I ran some errands and then went to an LA Galaxy soccer game with David, his roommates, and cousin. It was a whole lot of fun! I had no idea that David Beckham plays for the team (you know that ex-British soccer player).
Sunday morning was filled with sweet moments; I really missed my church family! It was great to see everyone again. Tiffany (my roommate) and I spent the afternoon together and then I spent time with Anna & Adie before picking Ellen (my other roommate) up from the airport! Then, we drove to Buena park to meet our 5th roommate - yep - it's a He: Amadeus...our little puppy! He's actually really cute and very well behaved. I think that I love him.
Anyways, that's my brief event-by-event update. I miss you all and would love to catch-up on Skype or the phone. You can follow my blog...or subsribe to it, and I will send you the link when I post.
Much love, meg
