So much time spent well.

Oh boy.

What a weekend! Liz came up to Yosemite to visit, Eunice and Ali B came to visit and Paster Don came to visit. I like it when people come and find rest here.

As I knew would happen my weekend with Liz consisted of many good things. Reminiscing about Tchad, baking, from the heart conversations, insight from God and of course laughter.

We baked apple muffins, Friday, and a vegan quiche, Sabbath. Both of which turned out yummy. (did you expect anything but yummy?) Liz is my kitchen inspiration. She always knows what to do for a substitution or to make something better or even just random recipes off the top of her head.

We took a long walk to the library to return my books, climbed up the Chillinaunadkvionsdov falls on a grand adventure. Jumped from rock to rock, shimmed up cracks between rocks and enjoyed the overall beauty of my little Wawona vally. We forged a swollen south fork of the Merced balancing precariously on the edge of rocks. Stepping unknown onto a rock covered in ice trying to keep balance and not plummet into the cold river. We walked the entire camp on a tour, trapeasing along the same trails we take the campers on as we journey up to dare base and we rested in the solitude of the Cathedral.

We sang everyones favorite hymns accapella friday night at worship at Paulette's house. Encouraged each other with ways God has been working in our lives recently. Liz and I sang songs for 'church' with Jerrod and listened to a sermon.

We journeyed to the backcountry with Anthony, Jerrod, Doug and the red tacoma. We shot a few rounds of guns. Enjoyed deep snow in the mountains, laughed until our sides hurt because of the wittiness of the people and had tears on my face from the laughter, but only on my face.

Worshiped God as the red sky reminded us of His love. Sang hymns on top of the mountain to close the Sabbath and embraced the task of living each day fully.

Bounced and jostled and exhausted arrived in time to eat and play games with Eunice and Ali B and the rest. Laughed again until our sides hurt and tears came out of our eyes.

Ended the time by gazing at the stars. They are such beautiful reminders of where we are and where I want to go.

I hope to duplicate this weekend frequently. I plan on tucking away this feeling and remembering it later. I hope to always love so freely and have such good people to give the love to.

Thanks for the great weekend friends!
