Week 4: Reunions!



reunited!
I've known Nina since ... I can't even remember because it's been so long! We grew up in the same city, went to the same school since we were bout 5 years old, graduated high school together...our shared history stretches far back. I even remember going to her grandma's house for a Filipino Christmas party one time when we were young!

 I'm so happy Nina got to visit and that we got to catch up. Awesome weekend, awesome friend!!

Studying abroad at St Andrews, Mary also popped by on Saturday! We knew each other from high school so it was nice to see another familiar face in a foreign place.


thankfully I did not fall down
On Sunday after church, we food-toured our way through the city (ate @ Oink, Scottish cranachan @ World's End Pub, Mars Bar cupcakes @ Mimi's Bakehouse).

Waved goodbye to Nina at the train station on Sunday evening, but we will definitely see each other again! Thank you, Nina, for a wonderful weekend <3!

did someone chop up some onions? #brb #crying
The saying goes that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Being abroad has definitely taught me to cherish new friends made here and also to cherish the ones from back home. Friendship is a beautiful glimpse of God. Friendships are truly a gift.
