Thursday I woke up and had had the best nights sleep ever. I was so tired and I was finally able to sleep in without an alarm!!!! It was great. Also, Caitlin works for pottery barn so obviously her bed was dressed with complete comfort. Caitlin also decided she was real sick when she woke up so she just had to take the day off. ;)

We went to Red Door Cafe and wow do they have great food. C got french toast and I got 'roll my cuban' it was tortilla with tons of greatness wrapped up in it! Can't WAIT to go back with Cec on Saturday morning... right girl?? :)

Well the weather was perfect (shout out to kathy shussler about this weather! :) so we drove to Baker Beach. No fog so the Golden Gate bridge was in good sight! We took a blanket and talked and hung out.

Later that night all my Texas San Franciscans (Cecelia, Caitlin, Steve, Brett) all had a BBQ with their good friends. We ended the night with an awesome dance party. It was good to see Brett Wise. I miss that fool.

Today is now Friday and I just got yogurt with Cec and I'm sitting at one of my favorite coffee shops: Royal Grounds. They have the best chai tea latte. I'm serious when I say this drink taste like a cinnamon roll. Last trip I was here I watched how the people made it and quickly texted steve the name of powder. Steve then ordered it! Call us crazy but it's that good.

I'm off to the GooglePlex with Cec to have lunch. Can't wait to see Google!

i'm baaaaack

IT’S SUMMER. So of course I have to make a trip to San Francisco to see my good friends. Sadly, I won’t be spending 10 days here like last summer, but 4 days will do!

I read over my blogs from last summer’s trip and it made me laugh. That was a good trip.

Well I am currently a little delayed on my trip. I am sitting in the Vegas airport, people watching of course. I love seeing the groups of people that get on the planes. My favorite are big groups of girls ready to hit the town, also know as divas (I’ve loved using that word the past few days). I should have landed in SF at 11pm but it’s looking more like 12:30am (2:30am texas time… ah). I mean I am tired but Cec and Cait I’m sure will be very tired as they have work tomorrow! L However they promised to pick me up cueing “Californiaaaaaaaaa” and In-N-Out burger and fries for me. THEY ARE THE BEST. I wish the fog in SF would peace out so we can get the show on the road and fly there!

I am trying to think positive and just enjoy where I am at and go along with the ride. I started Donald Miller’s “A Million Miles In A Thousand Years” today and it’s awesome. I’m halfway through already and love it. It’s about living out your story and not just sitting back in comfort. And when you are out of your comfort zone and there is the unknown we are changed as characters and our perspective is sharpened. One thing he said was “Without an inciting incident that disrupts their comfort, they won’t enter into a story.” I’ve thought a lot about that today and it’s changed my view for the better. I also love how he said this “Be a grateful participant rather than an unwilling victim.” I am continually learning that it’s a privilege to get to be a part of God’s big plans. I like to be sharpened as a character and liven my story!

Love from Nevada.
