Whatnot

IT's unfortunate that my last post was so bleak....just haven't had a chance to blog since then!! We are totally excited to be here and are settling in. It's been crazy because I've been working almost since we got here. We are hoping to land an apartment in a complex called martin's landing on the North side of roswell. we'll see if we are "approved"! We are starting to meet people adn feel a bit more at home. It's the strangest thing...I really miss the washington post. working at starbucks I read it at least 5 days a week. now I turn to the sports page and instead of it being all about steve spurrier and the redskins it's all about the falcons. totally lame I know, especially since I'm not a big football fan, but it's just weird to get used to. I'm sure I will though:-)

It's been great for melissa and I to look back over the last year and know that God is all over this move. I still don't have an answer to the question "why georgia?" but for now I'll just say "why not?" We are much more hopeful now than we have been in a while, yet we are working toward living NOW and not waiting on a thing. Too often we (Melissa and I) get trapped looking forward to the future because our lives have been defined by periods (every stage from preschool to this last internship has had a predetermined end). We are now in an open ended timeframe of life and are recognizing that we have to live NOW to make the best of NOW because NOW has no end in site. And it's truly liberating.
