Weekend With Mom

This weekend was filled with adventures with my mom. Friday after I got out of my classes, my mom, Chloe, Kaitlin, and I went to Charlie Brown's Cafe (on campus) for brunch. After that we headed up to Santa Rosa to get pedicures (seriously, over a month is way too long to go without one!) and we visited one of my mom's clients. We went to the store to get food for dinner, then we came back to my dorm and my mom cooked for all of my friends from my bible study. It was fun having everyone meet my mom just like I would at home, and I know she enjoyed it too since I tell her about everyone over the phone but she never could really put names with faces. That night we went to see the new Tyler Perry movie, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself"... It was really good and really funny. Saturday we woke up and drove into San Francisco; we had dim sum first and then headed to Market Street to do some shopping. We stopped in at Forever 21, H&M, then went to some thrift stores in Japan town. It was a lot of walking, but it was nice to spend time together. We also had sushi, which wasn't all that great, but it was so much better than eating in the caf! That night, she loaded me up on groceries and we headed back to the school and I fell asleep pretty early. This morning we woke up and went to New Vintage for church. Then it was time for her to leave :( but first she made me chicken curry and rice for lunch and froze some for me to have later on (it was nice to have a home cooked meal!). Chloe, Kaitlin, and I walked her out to the truck and said goodbye. Then we ran some errands; we went to Walmart and Safeway. Then we headed to Golden Spoon (frozen yogurt place) and they treated me to some froyo (I just love those girls for doing such nice things for me). When we got home, Kaitlin and I installed my new showerhead all by ourselves, watched 90210, then we ordered pizza from Ameci's so that we didn't have to walk all the way to the caf. This weekend was overall pretty fun... It was good for me to have my mom around for a few days; I can't wait to go home now so I can see her and the rest of my family and friends again! But for now I just have to get through the week ahead with all my school work. Back to the same old schedule!

"Give me one pure and holy passion, give me on magnificent obsession... Give me one glorious ambition for my life: to know and follow hard after You. To know and follow hard after you, to cgrow as your dicsiple in your truth. This world is empty, pale, and poor ompared to knowing You, my Lord; lead me on and I will run after You"
I forgot to mention the missions conference that I'm looking into attending over winter break! It's in Missouri and I'm really hoping it all works out to where I can go. I'm excited to see what kind of passion God will instill in me (:
