My Time Home

Blessed beyond imaginable. I honestly can't comprehend the overwhelming emotions felt this past week. So a little update with my time home. I got the blessing to go home due to health issues (complications from my kidney infection in the Middle East). But with much needed medical attention, prayers and some rest - I'm back to "normal". Normal in term of needing a bit of a recovery time, antibiotics, supplements and a diet change. Back non the less I'm back in action.

My Mom ... wow.. could not have done any of this without her. Within 24 hours she had set up appointments with the doctor, chiropractor, and natropath all with two days span of time when I would actually be in Cannon Beach. Oh and got a ticket for me to fly home -- no big deal. Oh Mom... how we don't give you enough credit for your magic. =)

So now with my landing in Portland greeted by my Mama and Papa it was time to hit the road, get to Cannon Beach and get healthy. While coastal I got to see so many friends from High School, go to coffee and lunch with some special ones, cruise the town and see the local riff raff, and soak up some sunny crisp beach mornings. Than I was off to Eugene to spend some much needed time with John + Steph and the family. I got to see loads of friends from college... and feel so loved by those that are still so evident on my heart. I miss my Eugene family. It was so refreshing being home and seeing my friends from college -- I can't really explain how refreshing and encouraging it was for me to go to NCFF (my church), see the local faces, the family moments, the lunch date with friends, too much for this little one to handle.

 

Best friends since diapers. 

 

Just a little walk on the beach, a little Waves Of Grain.. and a lot of missing home.

  

Kaela, Me and Steph... taking the classic photo in Steph's back yard. Shoot dang this two girls kill me.. I miss them so much!

   

Brayden and Koala Bear.. getting cozy on the couch.

 

i432 forever! Heather and I ... no matter how long it's been I feel like it was just yesterday we were roommates.

 

Some of the classic crew from college. CCF changed my life and STN has shaped my faith.

  

Kaela... oh this girl.. she's a keeper.. so you boys out there better get in line now! 

Want to top all of this? God did it. Than after all this time I got to drive to La Grande with my Papa (road tripp'n with my best friend) and see my baby nephew - Ryder. I'm pretty sure I blasted FaceBook and friends with my entire trip because I was so excited every day that I was "home". Oh Ryder -- that cute little boy. I can't get enough of him.

 

Sissy and Ryder Boy!

  

Nope.. this isn't a joke. He really is that amazing.

  

Big Sissy! 

 

This boy has already captured my heart... 

So with that tiny little update of the blessing beyond belief.. I leave it at that. God has blessed me with time to see my family and friends that I will never lose sight of his provisions. I am beyond stoked to go home every time and I love that.
