San Francisco...

Had a tremendous time in San Francisco last week with my BeFri, Brandy. The problem about not blogging about something right away is that you lose the momentum because, well, LIFE starts happening and then, well... you can't remember what you were so excited to blog about. That's what happens to me, anyway.

Which is why I'm going to post a few pictures (except I'm not because the pictures are on my old computer so I'll give you a link to the unedited ones over here at this location so I can post this already: LINK) and let them speak for the quick little 3 days I jetted off to SF, rode BART, chilled in a great hotel that HAPPENED to be named the POWell, had some great time alone with Jesus while Brandy was at her conference, ate some great food recommended by God's Guitar Girl (who is engaged! woo hoo!) near Chinatown, rode a cable car to Fisherman's warf and had yummy clam chowder, shopped, laughed, and enjoyed the sights, met up with Rob and Jen (friends from high school) and their son, Tristan, who live locally and generously showed us all the sights like Lombard Street, the Golden Gate Bridge, lots of beautiful old houses, Haight & Ashbury, and introduced us to Ethiopian food (quite enjoyable) and then took us to the airport. 'Twas a whirlwind trip, but it totally flipped a switch in me- from 'Mad Frenzy' to 'Reasonable Frenzy'... :)  Mostly, it was just good to see my Be Fri and get away for a while. Thanks, Bran... what a great time- and just what I needed!



Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
John 6:35

I notice that you are very good to take those short bursts of time away, whether with friends or family. I, for one, will always be grateful for that trip you took, on faith, to Whidbey Island.

So glad you and Brandy had fun. xxxooo P.S. and BTW, shopping is so much better with a girlfriend. That way your husband doesn't have to wait with his arms crossed and toe tapping.

You shouldn't have forgotten what you were so excited to blog about! Of course, it was just what you DID blog about! Getting to spend time with the Awesome Brandy! I can't imagine the fireworks that happen when the Amazing Amber and the Awesome Brandy get together! I won't even mention your others! So glad you got to run around SanFran and giggle like a schoolgirl! POW!

LOVE that you had such a fantabulous trip to one of the greatest cities in the world!! Were the shop windows in Union Square dressed for Christmas yet??

I think you pegged it...I've lost my momentum. Sadly, totally lost it. But the fact that you just mentioned brings me encouragement oddly enough. I think I'll resurrect my blog real soon :) After all, my house is decorated for Christmas already!!! yaay!

Glad you are feeling better and had a great Thanksgiving!!

Gretchen is so right...it's just so much more fun hanging in a great place like that with a good friend. Glad you both had such a fab time!

So behind in the blog world. *sigh. Partly because of this trip. I had so much fun with you, and am so blessed that God gave me this trip!
