God is so good. He answered SO many prayers just this last week, and I have been so blessed by it. I got to go surfing--Yee-haw!! O man, it was sooo fun. One of the best times of my life. Last Sun. nite, after church, I figured out a ride with Tara, and my friend Sean Mc and her dog, Cindar. We rode down to Bishop, which is about 45 minutes away, in a caravan with the pastor and his new motor home and a couple other cars. In Bishop we stopped at T-Bizzy (which I haven't had in months and it was good despite the pain in my tummy) and a gas station. I went to look at the motor home and it was so nice and smelled like our boat we used to have. My friend Ryan was lounging in the back, watching Finding Nemo. I asked if I could hang out and Stevie, the pastor's wife, was like, "Sure!!!" So I did, although I felt bad for being so lucky to watch a movie! It was great, and afterwards we napped for an hour or two, and I listened to the 3rd LOTR soundtrack. So nice. Then Dave (my pastor) was really tired and had to sleep so Ryan and I transferred to Dave's son's truck and Chris, Dave's son, drove the motor home. I had so much fun with Ryan, and he actually wanted to listen to the soundtrack. Sweet! He reminds me of my brother; he's quiet and all, but he was bein' a goof on the way down. We got to San Elijo, right by Encinitas, really late, and I got to crash in the motor home. The next morning I went to the bathroom and went to look at the ocean. Yes!! Tara and I set up camp and then headed to a surf shop to see about renting a wet suit. They did and I got one, and we went to her house and picked up her surfboards and went back. I wanted someone to ride with to teach me but everyone that knew how had already gone out that morning and were breaking for lunch. My friend Brian went out with me and basically goes,"Paddle and stand up." So I did! It was so fun!!! I am so hooked on it and I am SO going as much as possible this summer. I won't go into detail about the next three days because it would probably bore you, but I LOVE SURFING. I had to be back Wed. night, while everyone else stayed the whole week. Oh well. Next time.
So now I have moved out of employee housing and in with the girls' house from the church. It's so homey and nice.
