Sorry it's taken so long to finish my posts on China, I don't know where these past two weeks went! Many days were spent shopping for a new wardrobe since I now have to wear business suits to work everyday. And all of my cute open toe shoes now have to sit in the back of the closet collecting dust.
The last time I was a full-time employee was August 16, 2007. Tomorrow my unemployment ends. I don't really know how I feel about it. I am mostly in shock that the time flew by so quickly. Today was wonderfully relaxing, what a perfect way to end my temporary retirement! My friend Elena, whom I went on the cross country road trip with last September, is in town this week for a wedding and we met up for lunch around noon, and ended up chatting for over 6 hours! Today was the first time we'd seen each other since we parted ways in Phoenix after the road trip. I am so blessed to have a sister like Elena in my life. Even though we don't keep in touch on a regular basis, since she lives in Kansas City, it is always an encouragement to me when we do talk or send each other emails. We spent the afternoon catching up on what God's been teaching us and showing us in our lives, encouraging each other on things that we are trying to work on, discussing things that we aren't sure of. I was especially blessed by how similar our perspectives are; it's really nice to have someone who not only understands what I'm going through but also has received a lot of the same revelations from the Lord. She told me that she had a dream about us, and it was totally from God and so encouraging. She reminds me that I am not crazy for the things that I think and the things that I do :)
Well, tomorrow I will need to change the title of this blog. I am proud to be one of the last people among my friends with a non-baby-related blog. Stay tuned!
