Well this past weekend
I went to the fabric market over in Wuchang. Amber, Charlene and I went with
Trevor and Inga to get fabric and then this super sweet single mom is making
our coats. Let me tell you that coat cannot get made fast enough, the temperature
dropped and it’s so cold. Moments like this I remember why I chose to go the
college in Florida…I hate the cold yet the Father send me to a place that gets
cold like Michigan cold. Sometimes the will of God is painful and not really
something you want to do…like winter I don’t want to do winter. The only good
thing is that my mom sent cozy American flannel sheets.
Yes those are cupcakes
and sock monkeys, this is me were talking about. I slept with my sock monkeys
last night and it was warm and cozy and smelled like home it was wonderful. Not
to mention this morning was dark and rainy…my pillow and blankets were trying
to seduce me to come back but I was strong and got up—that was not easy sock
monkeys can be very convincing.
This past Monday was WELFS night
so Amber, Charlene, Jon and I all got together and cooked dinner and watched a
movie. Charlene and I were making the Alfredo sauce and in the process kind of
set my pan on fire…there was smoke and it was a crazy adventure. We watched the
Corpse Bride since its so close to Halloween, that’s the only time I ever watch
this movie pretty soon it will be time for the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown…he’s
coming!!! I’m loving living in my new apartment and slowly making it home. It’s
crazy to think that when I finally moved out I went to China…yeah that’s me go
to an extreme never play it safe just live with everything you have. In many
ways that is true, I want to have nothing left when I take my final breath, no
regrets go on an adventure and see where the Father takes you. I still have TIC
moments but I choose to not hate and love since love is a choice and I think about
my cute little kids and it helps the anger disappear faster. It’s been quite
the adventure and we are only going into November…can you believe I will be
back in the States in like 8 months? I just look forward to winter being over
and the heat coming back…if you haven’t already got the hint I hate winter
unless I am in Florida and can go to the beach for Christmas. I have to remind
myself that winter here doesn’t last as long as back in Michigan (where its
always winter, and never Christmas). Well for now I will say good bye and maybe
post again before November comes… don’t hold me to that life here is anything
but slow.
