Cleaning and a train adventure.

Today has been really very good. After going to bed incredibly late I slept till a little before ten, showered, and then cleaned. I cleaned up the bathroom as much as I could, cleaned my room (it was very much needed!) and vacuumed most of the house. I ate some food and got ready for church. I decided to take a risk and wear the blue dress I bought. It's very short by itself but with leggings it's not so bad. Plus I felt pretty good about how I looked. :-)

Left for church and made it in plenty of time. On my way to the bus stop a guy, who happened to be looking out his window, whistled and started talking to me. Because I had no idea what he was saying but could understand his tone and because I had my shades on, I simply smiled and said no and kept walking. Anywho, church was good but very very long. We had a interpretive dance by the Filipino women of the congregation as well as a testimony from a visitor. Then the pastor gave a sermon that was really two in one and went VERY long, though it was good. All about our Sovereign Lord and how we find success and blessing when we align our lives with God's purpose, depending upon him.

Funny it should be about depending on God to handle everything because, as soon as service was over, I booked it out of there so I could go get Paul from the airport. I got to Norreport Station and tried to buy a ticket only to have it not read my card--four times! Eventually I got help and headed to the train but I missed the one I originally wanted to take. Got on board at 2:58 and we were off. About 3:15 we were five minutes from the airport and the train stops. It starts to move again when sparks fly from the top of the train with a loud pop! One of the staff comes on over the PA but I can't understand anything beyond technical and problem. A German and a Dane were in the same car as me and none of us could understand what was being said because it was all Swedish! 25 minutes later the problem was solved and we were on our way to the airport. I practically ran to the ticket windows and found Paul and apologized profusely. He had been waiting a whole hour! Ah, not cool.

We headed down to catch a train back but everything was running late so we grabbed one to Kobenhavn H then waited 15 minutes for one to Hellerup. We missed the bus by 30 seconds and had to wait half an hour for the next one. We got to the house about 5:30--three hours after he'd landed! Ridiculous.

Yujie had invited some of the Chinese students over for dinner but they weren't there yet so Paul and I went to the grocery store to pick up food for his time here (drinks too). Headed back and the gang had arrived so we put the food away and had dinner. It was really good. Yujie made duck wings and pork dumplings as well as two noodle dishes. Then we finished off my fudge and the ice cream that they had brought.

After doing some dishes, Paul and I headed up to my room to "escape" and just relax. Now we're watching the Brewers game and just chilling. I will have to get to bed here in an hour or so because I do actually have to work tomorrow. :-)

Prayer requests remain the same but I'd add Paul. He's pretty exhausted mentally and looking forward to going home, though there's a lot for him to do between now and August 24th when he starts grad school. I also reconnected with one of the girls I accompanied for Solo and Ensemble at Hale and she's starting college in the fall and pretty nervous. So please pray for her too.

That's it for now. No baking, unfortunately, so I will probably have to get on that tomorrow since I don't have a ton of time left to make goodies for the guys at work. :-)

Have a great day/night/afternoon,
Bekah
