Adrienne Arrives in the City...

Hey,
We got assigned this assignment to write a narrative about how we arrived in San Francisco so I thought I would post it. Enjoy and pictures to come once I get my box with my ethernet cord...no wireless here in the old Clunie house.

Adrienne Arrives in the City…

It feels like Christmas eve, butterflies stir in my stomach, my mind races with imagines of what is to come, my heart is fluttering with excitement and wonder. I check the clock its 2:30 in the morning. I have to get up in a half hour to get ready to leave. My bags are packed, my whole life stuffed into two duffle bags. My alarm chimes in, 3AM and the day has finally come. I get dressed as the rest of my house lies still. Once ready I wake my family and tell them it is time to drive me to the airport, their eldest daughter and big sis are leaving for college for the last time. We drive on the empty freeways to the Phoenix airport and in less then an hour arrive at the Southwest gate. My dad drags my luggage out of the trunk while I kiss my mom and sis goodbye. Bye dad, bye mom, bye Rachel, I’ll see you at Thanksgiving. “Don’t talk to strangers Adrienne!” my protective mother yells from the car. “Oh yeah and I love you!” I yell back as I roll my eyes, “love you too mom.” My bags are checked, I wait, board the plane that will take me to my final destination and the one that I have waited so long to arrive at. A two-hour flight and I am in my new home, a new city, San Francisco. I grab my luggage that seems to weigh a hundred pounds and some how, even though I struggle, pull it along to the shuttle stop. I load the 15 passenger van, tell my driver the address and we are off on the busy freeway towards the city. As we turn the corner of the freeway I see it, the San Francisco city skyline. Tears fill my eyes; I know this is where I am supposed to be. Against all odds I have made it to this urban jungle to fulfill God’s purpose because He is faithful and the ultimate provider.
