Weekend in Santa Barbara

This weekend was an important one for the Loeser family! Alexa moved into her dorm room at Westmont in Santa Barbara, and my mom celebrated her birthday. My Aunt Sandy threw a fabulous dinner party for my mom. It was asian themed (complete with fortune cookies and all), and her decorations looked like something out of a magazine. We celebrated on Saturday, and then spent her real birthday, Sunday, enjoying Santa Barbara. I got to visit Alexa at Westmont and probably told her one too many times how jealous I was that she was just starting college. The weather was amazing all weekend and we had a great time with family and good friends!

WEIRD.

this is rad.

Problems will always be a part of life, and at times when you’re down, when you’re at your lowest point, talk to God. If you ask sincerely, He will enlighten you, clear your confusion, ease your pain, calm your fears, and heal your heart. It’s not going to provide you an instant solution to your problem, but God works in mysterious ways, and as long as you walk with Him, and just trust and believe, the sooner you’ll get to that place where you’ll see everything clearly, and you’ll finally begin to understand. Everything happens for a reason. You may not understand the reason now, but you will when the time is right.

airplanes give me anxiety,

but going far away sounds

really good right now.
