City Street Rapids

Wow. Talk about rain.

The day started with a nice steady rain fall, then off and on led into a softer drizzle. I waited until a nice break in the water deposit to head out for the the grocery store. It was a nice walk, not cold at all. The air was misting, but no rain. However, by the time I was finished shopping, there was a torrential downpour.

Fortunately, my dear friend Kate came and gave me a ride home! (She's officially Kate the Great to me now.) We drove out of the parking lot and up to the intersection. And there before us were waves....yes, waves! The river running down the cross street was meeting with the river running towards us on our street and was actually creating waves! I suggested we get tubes and ride the street...but alas, I had groceries to get home. But what fun that would have been--riding the city street rapids.

To Everything There Is A Season

Okay, time's been flying by! Reid and I leave tomorrow for California and apartment hunting. Then he stays and works, while I fly back to Providence, on Wednesday, to finish things up over here. Reid will be coming back to Providence on October 2nd, the truck gets loaded the 3rd, and on the 4th we fly back to CA permanently.

This transition period has happened so quickly. We have been packing and getting together with friends, like crazy. I am excited for this new adventure, but sad to leave my really good friends here.

However, I think it's only fitting that this new season in our lives begins with a change of seasons. Monday, Reid's first day of work, is also the first day of Fall. I have really come to see over the last month that God is always right on time. Ecclesiastes 3 came to mind this morning, and it seems so fitting as we start out on this new period of our lives.
