so i am still waiting on my visa and trying to find things to fill my time. i actually have been quite successful. here is a rundown of things that have been occupying my time:

first there was Christmas. my brother and sister-in-law came down to hesperia and we had a great time living under the same roof again.

then i had an exciting trip to disneyland with kyle and sarah. it was beautiful at christmas!

things settled after the holidays and i was going a little stir-crazy at home. so i found out about a crisis pregnancy center in hesperia that is owned by a woman from my parents church. i began volunteering there a couple times a week. it has been an awesome experience that will be invaluable to me in belgium. 

i took a trip to riverside and threw a surprise birthday party for beth. it sure was a surprise (being that her bday is not really until july) and we had fun at wahoo’s!

also in riverside i spent time with val climbing mt. rubidoux. it was so beautiful up there! riverside can be nice, you just have to see it from a different angle.

as some of you know, hesperia has dirt…o and my parents live there. so dirt and my parents…that’s it. i decided that since my visa still was not here and i needed a change of scenery, i would travel to sacramento to spend time with my brother and his wife. we mostly watched some movies and walked to safeway to use the internet. as it turns out, there are really creepy people that hang out in the starbucks inside safeway. i have a couple good stories if you’re interested.

we went to this place called “Big Spoon” which i assumed was like “Swirl” in riverside. it was similiar but kinda kicked butt in the condiments category. as you can see in the picture it was like topping heaven. way to go sacramento.

i also got to see good friends while i was here that i have not seen in over a year! i saw ken, angela, and bella hansen. bella is so cute and getting so big!

i went to get pedicures with xica and emily which was totally girly and really fun!

good times have been had, but please keep praying that my visa will come in!
