Yoga Release

So steph, beth and i went to a killer power yoga class last night. it was so hard! there were a few new people from what i understand (i was one of them) so she wasn't as hard as she usually is. So in one of those folds we do in yoga, one of the older ladies totally let it rip! Just farted so loud. It was a short one you know but she was so embarrassed, She goes "oh, excuse me!" The yoga teacher didn't miss a beat and said "oh thats ok we release all sorts of things in Yoga"
We didn't laugh durring class (we were concentrating on our fold as to not fart as well) But after class we were cracking up!

Chilean Television & My Uncle Randy Dooley

Happy:
So today i discovered that i can watch Chilean Television on line!!! i haven't been this happy since i got a new roxy bathing suit for $10 bucks on thursday! (it doesn't take much.) It is a culture i miss so much, the accent the people. The Novellas, shows just take me home again. I'm doomed i could watch it for hours just to hear the spanish.. if you want to see some go to http://www.canal13.cl/ fun stuff!

Sad but Happy:
My Uncle Randy Dooley disapeared from our lives for the past 10 years i literaly haven't talked to him since i was 13. He showed up on my Nena's door step yesterday with a flat tire! wow. So mom calls me and said she was in church and felt prompted to pray for Randy, and then nena called her with this info. My Pop-Pop took him to walmart to get his tire fixed and told him that he should have called. He just found out that my dad died. He knew he was sick but never called. My dad, only really wanted one thing before he died, to see his little brother Randy. But he didn't get to do that. So while Pop-Pop basically railed on him for 4 hours in Walmart waiting for his tire or whatever.. He just cried. He is 48 years old. Never been married, no children (that anyone knows about) no home, no $. just broken.
We are so glad that he has contacted us finally but wonder if this new connection will be a good or a bad thing. We want to love him, forgive him and renew his hope but i wonder if he will let us do that.
Keep Randy in your prayers. May he have hope even knowing he has hurt a lot of family and missed seeing his older brother who loved him a lot.

Rest

This weekend was amazing! Starting with the great food at Montibellos. I've been praying that God would teach brian how to rest but this weekend he really taught me too. Saturday we just slept in, and went for a late lunch picnic (at riverside park) after catching up with some friends on Rivermont. That night we just hung out and read together. I love spending time with that boy!
this blog thing is so much fun. i can write what is in my mind.. it is so freeing.
Thanks for teaching me how to rest. Ahava.
