It's surprising that a couple colleagues have come up to me to congratulate me on my wedding and follow up with the question, "Is your wife living with you here in HK?"

A Random God-filled Day
Today was a random day. But it was also a God-filled day, so it was good.
We started off by visiting the doctor this morning in Wan Chai early in the morning since we were super tired last night and slept early. We had roughly packed a full day to go get a hair cut, have lunch with Karen and then try and get some things for our home. It was really neat because right after the doctor's appointment, we walked right by a water-filtration store which was exactly what we were talking about getting earlier this morning. Hong Kong is so neat. You find what you need at the weirdest times, and other times, you can never find what you are looking for when you want to.
So it was a really pleasant way to start off the day, being able to get a water filter (yes, this sounds kinda lame coming from me because it's such an adult thing to care about- but I guess that's marriage now), but we've been having such a great time setting up our home and doing furniture shopping and looking for ways to maximize storage. We passed by this designer furniture store in Causeway Bay called GOD to look for ideas. They have some really beautiful stuff in there, but it's quite pricey. They have a block of wood (serving as a side coffee table) for just 2000 bucks. A great investment if you ask me.
We met up with Karen for lunch and had a great time catching up. We're looking forward to having her over tomorrow night. During lunch I got a call back from a guy selling a PS3 on the internet. Some of you know that I've been secretly wanting one since Dom and the guys keep playing COD and NHL. It'd be nice to have some guy bonding time over the internet. So originally he was asking for 3000 HKD for a 40GB PS3 with 6 games and a steering wheel. But I told him that I didn't want the steering wheel or most of his games and asked whether he could cut me a deal. So he said he'd give it to me for 1000 bucks.
Michelle and I went to meet him later on this afternoon. When we were meeting him at the mall we were guessing how he'd look, thinking he'd be a 20-30 year old nerd with short hair and thick plastic glasses. Turns out this guy was a 50 year old man who drove a red sports car with two cats at home. Totally random. But he was a nice guy and now I have a PS3.
On the way home, Michelle met one of her student's mother. The family is moving to China to do non-profit work for the Kingdom so it was such a God-moment for them to catch up. It was a neat way to cap off a random day of seeing God provide for us things we need and things we want and remind and encourage us of why we're here in Hong Kong. God has led us here to this place and has been faithful to us every step of the way. We are excited about what this new year will bring.
