Let the Adventures begin...

I've been meaning to post something since last Friday, but the events of this weekend have delayed that. Therefore I am posting today, Monday 7, 2009 on Labor Day. I have just spent this entire weekend with my family and extended family. It has been a wonderful weekend.
Friday was yet another day of uncommon favor. As the day began it didn't seem that way. We were planning to wake up at 5:45 to vacuum out my truck , and load up all my stuff. However, I opened my eyes at 7:05 realizing that I had over slept. It was totally the Holy Spirit that woke me up. I awakened with a start. I jumped out of bed, and was rushing around to start getting things out the door. I knew that we would be late getting on the road.
We got all of my stuff outside in the driveway; it looked like way more stuff than would fit in the back of the Yukon and in my Passport. Somehow it all fit. It took about a total of 1 hour and a half to load everything up. We had breakfast and loaded ourselves in the car about 9 AM, only to discover that the car battery was dead. It could be seen as a tragedy and stresser but maybe our lives were saved from an accident because we were running late? We would never know. We charged up the battery and then finally headed out of the driveway about 9:45. It didn’t quite occur to us during all the little preparation that we did, that with the trailer we would only be able to go so fast, therefore it takes us a little longer to get down here than normal. By about 4:45 and we are about 1 hour and 15 minutes (according to the GPS) from OM, where we dropped off the trailer and the Yukon. So we were late for the Braves game, but we did get an extra ticket for Ginger. There was one extra one, Praise God! By being late to the game, by only 30 minutes really we didn't have any heavy traffic getting to the staduim, we didn't have to pay $12 for parking and there was a Chick-fil-A in the stadium which is what Ginger wanted for dinner. God was totally watching out for us. The game was pretty good, not too eventful. There were fireworks and everything, it was a lot of fun.
Saturday morning brought delicious pancakes, lots of unpacking the trucks, and starting to unpack all my stuff. We worked in my studio from 10 AM til 6PM during that time we unloaded all the stuff, took the trailer back to U-haul, went to Wal-Mart to get things, lunch and the Escobars came to help. We hung curtains, pictures, and put together my bed. After that we headed back to the Bowmans house for dinner and games.
Sunday morning we went to Bethel Atlanta! It was amazing. This guy who'd been in a wheelchair for 2 months, got out of his wheelchair after telling a little bit of his testimony and with a little help walked back to his seat. I believe he is going to be totally healed. The Lord is so good. Then we came out to my apartment for my sister to see it, then we went back to the Bowmans house for lunch. Then I went with Michael's family to Stone Mountain. It was really fun! We hiked up the stone mountain, it was a really pretty view. Then we all went out to dinner together to a Japanese restuarant which I have leftovers for, for like the next 3 days! :) Then I said good-bye to my family and the Escobars took me to my apartment which I stayed my first night by myself last night. Then today I had some big adventures. I went to Michael's hotel for breakfast and hung out there for a little bit, then we drove up I -85 to Swuanee (spelling??) and went to the park there to get Allie. It was so amazing. The park is big and its kind of like a Mayfaire with a big big ampitheater/field in the middle. We had lunch at 5 Guys and then Michael and I got to spend some quality time together. It was really good.
I really could keep going. I am so excited to see what this next year brings. The Lord is definately at work!!

Love love LOVE!!!
