Karen, Jenie, and Al took me out to dinner for my birthday this weekend. It was great fun. We must find that scarf. If I find one, can I buy one for myself too!? =)

Why do our conversations always end up on that same topic??? Weddings...yikes. And why do bag on O so much, even when she's not around? We must love her an awful lot.

Jason cooked me yummy dinner on Thursday. I was terribly impressed. MMmmmMMMMMmm. =)

Ok, I'll hop on the "List" bandwagon!

List of how I am blessed:

- Sisters all over the country who get down on their knees for one another. The news from them, the stories, the gushing (yes, Karen, even the gushing by a particular someone!), the random phone calls, the willingness to scrub my bathroom. But above all, the prayer and things to pray for!

- Jason, who does nothing with complaining or grumbling. He is an example of confidence and steadfastness in Christ through and through.

- The work of the Holy Spirit in bringing people to saving knowledge of Christ. Thank you, Shrie, for your story and how it reminds me to pray for my dad.

- Jason's family who takes good care of me while I'm off living by myself.

- My mother's amazing faith and strength.

- Opportunities to go back to school, to work, to dream, and to look forward to the future.

- The encouragement that all the YAFers showed Jason during the past week.

These things completely humble me. God is real big. He is real good at providing. Even amid complete chaos, fear, uncertainty, and sadness, I can only humbly marvel at all He has provided me. What more could I need?

Jason and I saw Barry Bonds yesterday in SF.

We were driving down Harrison. And, we looked at this big, black, shiny new Escalade next to us. From the driver's seat, I could only see that this guy had HUGE arms. And then, Jason timidly says, "That's Barry Bonds." I thought he was just kidding. Don't worry, we didn't stare. Jason took furtive glances from the passenger seat. Then, he pulled in front of us, and I could see him in his mirrors. We followed him briefly (because we were going in the same direction, not because we were stalking).

So, yes. That was our encounter with Barry Bonds. Jason sat less than 4 feet away from him..

now, if we could only spot JT Snow.

Happy Birthday, Jason!

Me: "Birthdays are a good thing. It means you're still alive."

Quality.

I do not want to eat cow for a long time.

Mary, Alinna, Jason Kuo, Seri, and I went to the House of Prime Rib on Wednesday. We stuffed ourselves. I was so full that when I got home, all I could do was sit on my couch and drink chamomile tea. Jason called me. I was able to talk for all of 15 minutes. And then, I just had to go to sleep.

While we were driving home, Mary starts saying "I'm drunk on cow!!" The next day at work, we established that we had a hangover from the cow.

ugh. but much fun.

More fun tonight! Massive sleepover at my place! Are we making sangria?!
