Wow,
Now it's tuesday 9th of September and time is 13:47 so it's afternoon here in Redding..
Let me tell you what I have been doing lately.
So last Friday night we went with Anne to this diner place called Tropicana where I had the best fries with this chicken wrap. We were already full of food but still needed some dessert so I took this New York cheesecake and Anne took some short cake which she didn't like at all but my cheesecake was the best. Even though I couldn't finish it but it was good.
On Saturday we went to the Hope Center and there was this Matthew's house thing, like a food pantry. We gave food bags to people who had been registered to get those bags. After that we went to Manhattan by train. In Elizabeth it was hot, humid but not raining. In Manhattan it was raining, a lot. So we saw something but not much. On the way back, from the trains window we saw these floods where care were stuck. But on Sunday it was dry.
On Sunday we left early to go to Times Square Church and it was good meeting, we got good seats. Row 14 in the middle, the best place. I was just so tired of everything so time to time my concentration was weak and I realized my eyelids going down.. Anyway, we did some shopping and went to see the Statue of Liberty from this Staten Island Ferry and I finally met Ester and David at Central Park. Together we went to the Trump Tower and the Disney World Store and stuff like. IT was nice to see, I think I haven't seen David in 5 years.. That was when his family came back here. I heard that his family isn't doing so great financially so it's something to pray about. SUnday was so sunny day and I got my I love NY t-shirts that we were looking so hard. I took a lot pictures that I got to put on Facebook..
Sunday evening I packed my stuff, everything went into bags, even though it looked so full.
monday morning Anne drove me to the airport where I checked in. There was some probles with my check-in, I thinkg just the workers didn't know what to do or what was going on but I was able to leave my bags..
From the early morning my ankle had been hurting so bad and it's still feeling sore and I need to eat painkillers. Same kind of pain than with my right ankle but worse and it's left ankle this time.
ANyway, nothing more about that, my flights went well. It was like 5 and half hours from Newark to Portland. I didn't realize it before boarding the plane. The plane was crowded and the seat was kinda small. But I was able to sleep little bit which was good.
In Portland I had to wait couple hours and in Newark the staff told me that I need to check-in in Portland but I didn't show my boarding pass to anyone until Boardin and everything went well. They said something about United Airlines and I was like okay, but I did what I felt so it went good.. And Flight to Redding was about an hour and half. I was seated next to this young man who lives with his family in Redding so he told me little bit about it and the staff in the plane was so friendly than what I haven't never seen before in planes. So nice.
It was so hot when I arrived to Redding. I got my bags fast and then I went outside to wait for Pamela, Sheena's mother, to pick me up. I think I waited about 15 minutes or so. It felt longer actually. Anyway, she picked me up. We drove to my new home, 1390 College View Drive apartment nmb 27, and I was able to leave my bags here. I met Sheena quickly and then we drove to Target, ( Sheena works there) I got my adapter, we met Sheena and bought this cover sheet for my bed, I bought some food, just bread and juice. We also went to this grocery store, it was huge. I think I need to go there with better time to see what's there really. Then Pamela drove me back to home. I started to settle down. Changes sheets, put some of my stuff in the drawer, still getting used to that here isn't closets.. Just drawers.
My wireless internet wasn't really working yesterday but now I'm here downstairs and it's working at least better now. Thank God.
Then I took a shower and waited for Sheena to come from work. She was here about 10.30 pm and I was tired.. I noticed that here's a lot of hugging and saying I love you, Sweetie, etc.. Something I am not used to at all. It will be difficult.
I also realized that her mother comes here often, she makes her food and takes care of her laundry. I also found out today that there's no washing machine here. So, yey.. Tomorrow I will sign the lease for this place and talk about money. I think tomorrow we go to get me local phone and clothe drier hanger thing. I think I also need a printer for my self.. If I find a cheap one it would be great.
TOday the 2nd school year started so now Sheena and her mom ( who lives in different address) are there at Bethel. I went there with Sheena just for a quick visit. I managed to go inside but kinda freaked when seeing so many people there and 2year students.. So I went outside and walking back home. I just got out of Bethels drive way when this car stopped by and this young fellow asked if I need a ride. He already passed me but he felt that he needed to come back and ask. So nice of him. His name is Ben by the way, from Alabama and I found out during our drive that Saara and Sami, my new friends from Finland lives in the same complex as he does. Isn't it small place or what. So he drove me here and now I have been on the internet in here downstairs where it works better.
I'm making a list of all the things I might need or I really need for to buy and get.
I'm still thinkin about getting that bike but will see what happens.
Today Sheena and her mom got these folders from school where inside some info papers. So waiting for to get mine. I freaked little bit when really realizing how much work this school needs and am I really able to do it. SO that's also a thing to pray about.
Now I think I'll start reading more about my school book that I need to do a book report from in two weeks. It's called "When Heaven invades Earth".
Be blessed you all, I hope to find some time to come here and write what happens here..
