A week full of Saturdays...

Almost two weeks ago, I started my tour of the nation...well of 3 main states. I started out in Nashville and hung out with 3 awesome girl friends of mine. 3 girls with whom I shared a hut, my food, my clothes, my tears, and the beautiful mountains of Swaziland with all last summer. I won't bore you with the details of what we did but I was just so refreshed and refined after hanging out with them...it was awesome. And then......I hung out with the boys...
I flew to Oklahoma where Colegrin picked me up. I got to meet his whole family and we roadtriped down to San Antonio and stayed with our friend, Robert, otherwise known as Bob, Bobert, or Garsha. What an amazing week I had!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only hanging out, being completely myself, watching hours and hours of The Office, but more importantly being loved and cared for by two awesome men of God. I got to see them interact with their girlfriends and realized that I was right all along in being their friend. (haha jk) They love the Lord and try to serve Him in all they do...including their relationships with their girlfriends. They are awesome guys and I can only hope that I get to develop more relationships like the ones I have with these guys with more of my guy friends. And BTW, they are hilarious!!!! All I did was laugh the whole week...it is really quite pathetic because we three have been texting, and calling each other since we left...haha

I know I started out saying that I was on a tour of the nation. But to be honest, seeing more of the US was more of an added benefit. The friends that I got to catch up with and hang out with was my main reason for going. God just loves blessing me and so I got to fulfill both passions of mine...investing into my friends and traveling! What more could I ask for in a vacation? It was indeed a week full of wonderful, relaxing Saturdays....
