The Long Awaited Post

Okay, here it is, all of the harassing has finally paid off. I'll finally let you all in on what's going on in my life. I don't know if I've been putting this off because telling people has been hard, or just because with all the preparation I've been SUPER busy. Either way, I can't put it off any longer.

So as of this Thursday I will no longer be a resident of Vermont, or even New England. I'm taking a step of faith and going out on my own. In April I gave myself an ultimatum, find a job by July 1st, or else. July 1st has come and gone and I have not found a job. So much to the dismay of my small group and my best girlfriend here I'm headed to Delaware this week. For those who know me well, you know that I did my internship there and it's as much home as here is. I am quite excited about settling back into my life there.

There are so many other things that are going on, both surrounding this move and other things in my life that I couldn't possibly write about them all, but I wanted to get this basic, initial email out. When I get all settled there I'll write again about the details and maybe even the whole story of the move. I will get some contact info out as soon as I can too. As of right now I'll have email of course and my cell phone for at least another week or two.

To all my friends here in Vermont, I'll miss you all terribly. I promise Kim, I'm not leaving just to spite you or leave you alone. I love you so much and I can't wait until you come visit me. You and your family will be in my prayers every day. To my Delaware/Maryland family, I'll see you soon and I love you much.

Moving is hard.. even when you know it is for the best. I will be praying for you while you change surroundings.

Thanks SOOO much for taking the time to come here and counsel with me. We didn't get a LOT of time together, but I love ministering with you.

Sorry I was so tired on Saturday night. If you thought that was bad, you should have seen me the day after camp LAST year!!! haha

yeah...she posts! Good luck with the move! At least you don't have a whole house to pack up like I do. Its a pain when you do. Way to move farther south. I love the warm weather and Delaware is nice...don't tell Lynn Erskine though that I said that.
