from redwoods to liquid sandpaper

just in case it was ever in question before....it is official now that i absolutely love trees! i had the opportunity to see some redwoods for the first time the other day, and it was so terrific! i've dreamed about seeing them for a long amount of time, and sometimes God brings things about in funny ways that i never would've even imagined. (hmmm....that kinda sounds like a verse i've heard before) so the reason that i had to come up north in california (which is exactly where the redwoods are found) was because of a temporary job with a construction company. what?! me....construction?! haha. funny. but it's true. i came up to oakland to work at a fedex facility for the week. never would've thought that would be the circumstances under which i would be able to see some of the most incredible trees. but it's great! i think on the way back down to southern california, i'm going to have to continue the experience of seeing redwoods and sequoias:)
not only has it been a time to expand my view of the Lord's absolutely beautiful creation, but as i was working today, i learned that there is such a thing as liquid sandpaper. who knew?! it's crazy. it's weird.

nine days until i'm in the snow of northern illinois :)

stay tuned for some photos of trees...
