Reality 101

So, Kristy's flight should be taking off shortly. meh. It makes me sad that she had to leave so quickly. However, I KNOW she's going to have a wonderful time in NYC.
One things for certain, I have truly been blessed with the most wonderful friends. I know that I say it all the time, but it bares repeating...I am continually blessed by each individual one and how they TRULY make my life better. And Kristy has once again brightened my life with her positive attitude and playful nature and more importantly her desire to Seek God in her life-its convicting and encouraging and inspiring ALL at the same time!. It was wonderful to hear all about her friends in Hong Kong and about the missions trip that she's leading in the coming months. It was fabulous to drink coffee with a fellow coffee-snob....it was fun to go shopping at random antique stores with her, to experience "grass" at the park ( apparently HK isnt big on grass. hehe)-even if it WAS windy like nobodies business...it was a delight to sit next to her in church again, and afterwards to hear her thoughts on my "home church" -which reminded me yet again of how absolutely rockin Heaven is going to be! ( think of all the people we're going to get to meet! And the infinite ways that we can worship God!!! )...and then we headed to Houston with Anna and did some power shopping. (side note: I bought a cocktail dress that is just TO DIE FOR...and honestly, WHERE am I going to wear this dress?! But whenever you feel THAT happy in a dress...the rule is, you MUST buy it. So, in conclusion, if you know of a cocktail party, then invite me. I've already got the dress ready to go!). We finished up our shopping with a really amazing dinner at this really amazing place ( you know, the kind of place that has about five waiters per table...yeah, it was lovely)....
But, ultimately, I miss Kristy already. She is such a dear friend. Definitely one that I can immediately pick right up where we left off....

But, now, now I'm back at work. Back to the worry of reality. And yet, I some how feel more optimistic about it...surely a Lord that is faithful to give-without deserving-such wonderful wonderful friends...will some how help me to do this job well...

Woa. Cocktail dress? Maybe we can arrange such a party for when you come up here with some friends, just for the heck of it! Although... I don't actually know what that means... or what you do at such a party... or what guys wear... or what such a dress is even like... so I don't really know anything... except I can't wait to see you, whether you are wearing a burlap sack or a cocktail dress! (watch out for the burlap... very itchy, fyi)
