The Weekend... San Francisco Treat


I spent the weekend in San Francisco. I have a Fraternity brother that works for Google and he invited me up for the weekend. San Francisco is a really beautiful city and I had a great time. I hadn't seen Welter in a few months and it's always good to catch up with friends. We went to the Google Holiday party as well. Google is a pretty incredible company and they definitely do all they can to keep their employees happy. The Google complex, as I like to call it, was insane. I really enjoyed my visit, but don't think San Fran is a city I'd move to.

This week I will finish up the application process for graduate school at Gonzaga. I should know within the next two weeks whether or not I get accepted into the program. I'm still praying about all of this and hope that God will provide a way for this to all happen if it's His will.

I'm flying to NYC on Wed. for work. I miss NYC a lot so I'm looking forward to going back and freezing my butt off. Haha. I'm sure it will be extremely cold there.

Being a light in this dark world is not the easiest thing. I think it's important to realize that living the life we have been called to live is not easy. I found myself getting very frustrated with myself last week. I was having a discussion with some people at work... The conversation started with us talking about a movie... then led to politics... and evenutally religion. It was definitely one of those moments that God provided me an opportunity to share my faith with some co workers. I was open about my faith and discussed why I believed what I believed. But then begin to face some tough questions about the Bible and more in depth questions about my religion. I felt like I failed in a way because I wasn't able to answer some of their questions. Faith is what I stand on and it's often easy for a non believer to argue against that. I pray that the next time I have this conversation with my co workers that God will guide my words. Hopefully I was able to plant some type of a seed. I have a ton of growing left to do and hope I never stop growing. I invited one of them to church with me.

Back to work tomorrow. It will be a short week in the office due to my NYC trip.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and family at Christmas. Only 11 more days until I fly home.

I'm glad you got a shot of the bridge. It has always been one of my favorites, like the Arch in St. Louis. Did you get to talk to Nick?

I can't wait for those 11 days to go by. I love you!
