Eventful Last Weekend!

So the official First Day of Instruction for SJSU starts on Wednesday, August 23rd. This means that this last weekend was my last hurrah before the insanity begins. Fortunately, it was a fabulous weekend. My best friend, Amanda, came into town on Thursday afternoon. We had girl time together as her husband wasn't flying in until Friday evening. It is great how you can meet up with your best friends and it is just like old times.
Friday I took off from work and decided we needed to go on a little adventure. I wanted to hike but because my toes is healing really well, I didn't want to spoil that. Nonetheless, I still wanted to enjoy God's nature outside of the city. I remembered that there is a little road off from Almaden Expressway that takes you out of the city and into the hills. So I told Amanda we were going to explore this wild area of terrain. As we rumbled our way along in my boat of a vehicle, we came upon a little park called Calero county park, which is a 3,476 acre park with horse stables. It was gorgeous out there. Truly a lovely place to pray in, so we did. Later that afternoon I spent time with Amanda's family members in Los Altos. They have really adopted me into their family. I thank God for that. Finally, the night ended with seeing an old black-and-white silent Harold Lloyd film, called "Safety Last!" They even had a person there to play the organ that accompanied the movie. It was all very impressive. I loved it and can't wait to go back to the theatre.
Saturday was more mellow. Amanda, Andrew, and I spent some time together talking about we have recently learned about God and he helped me to answer a question I had. Then we went to the International Rose Market to eat my favorite food, Persian. Yummy. After they left to go to a wedding, I did some reading for school.
Today (Sunday) I didn't feel so well but at church, I had a heart-felt moment with God about some stuff going on in my heart right now. We have been having small group meetings during the church service, which has been a delightful way to get to know my brothers and sisters at NewLife covenant church. After lunch, I went to one of my newest friend's housewarming party. I love these people. They are fun, genuine, caring, and faithful people. I hope God provides me with more opportunities to spend time with them.
Now it is time for me to start getting ready for bed because tomorrow I must be at work at 7:30am as we have a Math Placement Exam. Woot woot!

P.S. Tiger won!!!!
