oh, i’m thinking, thinking about this little blog i’ve come to love [so much] a lot lately. i’ve been blogging since september of 2007 [it's the funniest thing to look back-- but don't judge me, please.] hard to believe it’s been over three years of recording my life on this… internet thing. from no readers a day, to hundreds of readers a day. everytime i look at my blog stats + see how many people read my words it both scares me and excites me. thank you, truly. there are new things coming for this blog next year. i have been really intentional with my brainstorming and my thoughts about what i want this blog to be. a re-design is in the works & that thrills me.

i want to invite you, every now & then, to join me in my yesterday. a little post about my yesterday. i’m assuming you weren’t a part of it in real life [and even if you were, perhaps you'd like to read the re-cap in my words?] so i’m hoping you’ll find it interesting. my yesterday included:

* waking up next to my friend shinae
* eating egg whites and rice bread for breakfast
* reading a few chapters of isaiah, a few chapters of hebrews
* being joined by candace at nine o’ clock
* stopping at starbucks en route to the airport for a smoothie [for me] + a vanilla latte [for candace] + nothing [for shinae]
* chatting in frustration with the lady at the YVR air canada booth & leaving with an answer we didn’t enjoy
* planning to visit port moody that afternoon [one of my happy places]–but missing the exit
* throwing plans out the car window & driving to crescent beach instead

* finding a parking spot + stopping for photos in the sunshine [although the weather hovered around 0*C]
* walking into a ridiculously warm wired monk for lunch
* ordering a chicken salad ["um, i might as well tell you exactly what i want on it because there are about six things i don't want"] + a grande americano
* watching shinae enjoy her mango smoothie. an expressive one, that girl.
* swapping stories over lunch [shinae spent three months in australia, three months in mexico this year with YWAM. candace has been too many places to count on missions trips--they both have such incredible hearts for people. they love people with the love of Jesus exactly where they are. it's so cool.]

* taking a quick walk down to the water, to snap a few photos
* standing in AWE of beautiful british columbia. we’ve been all over the world & we still love it here best
* freezing our butts off + deciding 3 minutes was long enough in the great outdoors
* driving home, watching candace pour through my huge bag of “clothes to give away.” — she found a few things
* later that afternoon, when friends had left, wearing 2 pairs of pants + a huge sweatshirt to run 3 miles
* dinner with the parents & an evening spent watching the time traveler’s wife with bethany
