Life as I know it...

So, I would have posted this earlier, but I was waiting to get a picture off of the camera. Back on Monday, I got a call from an old friend of mine. She served a mission with me (she's Filipina), and we've kept in touch. When she got married, she moved to California, but I still hadn't seen her (for over 5 years). I got a random call on Monday around 7:00pm, and it was her, telling me she was in Salt Lake! She was only going to be around one more day, and I had to work Tuesday, so I randomly drove to Salt Lake that night. It was so great to visit with her! We talked for over an hour (all in Ilonggo, too, which was so fun!), and we just had such a good time together. Her husband took a picture of us(yes, she is pregnant - 5 months along), which I need to forward on to my mission president and his wife.

Honestly, when I left the Philippines five years ago, it was with the idea that I may never see any of those great people again in this life, so it was such a treat to visit with her. It seriously made me miss the people over there, and the food, since we reminisced about some of our favorite dishes and some of the more daring things I tried. (I'll save those stories for another time). Anyhow, here's a belated cheer for a great night (didn't leave SLC until around 11pm). Hooray!
