This morning we arrived safely in DC. It's great to be here but it feels COLD! I think my tolerance to cold has decreased ever since leaving Seattle and especially after living in Asia for 4+ years. I do appreciate the cool, clean air though. And the cherry blossom trees and blooming dogwoods are amazing.
I'll be staying with good friends, Sean & Shannon until Monday when I travel to NY. Andrey will be at a retreat center for the next 10 with work-related stuff.
The trip went well. We had an 8 hour layover in Los Angeles so we took a bus to Santa Monica and walked along the pier and then had dinner nearby. It was great to get out for some fresh air and not stay in the airport the whole time.
Oh and my esophagus problem is nearly resolved. Thankfully, I didn't end up having to have an endoscopy. I had so many people praying for me b/c I really didn't have time to deal with that and so I really cried out to God to handle it for me. I was in a lot of pain but nothing was life-threatening so I decided to forgo the procedure. Miraculously, after 4 days with absolutely no improvement, I woke up Monday morning (the day before we were to leave for America) with a 90% reduction in pain. Hallelujah! I was so happy. I really appreciate being able to eat and swallow like normal now.
