| Going to the chapel for the #bretwedding!!! |
Megan is one of the sweetest people I know. She has such a heart for Christ and for serving others. She overflows with the most authentic joy and is so full of life. I am so grateful for her friendship that started on a hike up Ampersand, August 2010. And Evan is another great friend. He was my boss when I was an intern at Saranac. He has such a servant’s heart and everything he does is intentional. It was the absolute best being back in New York with so many great friends, celebrating their marriage! So here they are, Mr. and Mrs. Bretschneider!!
And what a wonderful weekend it was! It was quick, just a weekend, but it was great. I was mentally preparing myself for not being able to see everyone I wanted/have all the conversations I’d like to have. I was trying to have realistic expectations of a barely 72 hour trip back to America. But I was blown away! It didn’t feel like a whirlwind. I felt like I got quality time with people. Catching up on life, what’s been great and what’s been hard, what we’re learning and where we’ve seen the Lord at work. How we’re all adjusting to new jobs and to calling new cities home.

| Katie, so grateful for you. |

| Great place. Great people. |
There were other little gifts in the weekend. The taste of Chick-fil-A and Chipotle. And real Diet Coke. I was reminded what it felt like to be cold. Got to live in Katie’s Patagonia fleece and have a hot shower. I was able to see what was left of the fall colors and sip a pumpkin spice latte with another sweet friend, Corine. I left the States feeling full, rejuvenated, and rested. I left with energy and an eagerness to dig deep into life here in Costa Rica. To be intentional and make the most out of my ten months here. It’s already going by so fast!
