do you remember that time when I used to write stuff on here? yeah, me too.
guess what? a billion important crazy things happened! and I didn't tell you because I was keeping it all under wraps sos I could surprise andy's family with the news ...
but now it's all happened (and past happening, actually, I've just been too busy to write) and now I can tell you :)
I left grad school. I resigned from winter term, quit my jobs, packed up my stuff, left half of it in pittsburgh and took the other half in my little honda back to my house in virginia and then all the way across the country to california. my momma drove with me across virginia, tennessee (pretty pretty tennessee), arkansas, oklahoma, texas, new mexico, and utah. we spent a weekend with celesta and company in utah valley, and then andy drove with me through nevada to california. I found an apartment with great girls who needed a roommate. I found a job that is not nearly as good as I'd hoped, but it pays well, so I can stay until I no longer need to stay. and I found an andy here waiting for me.
I embarked. I arrived. I started another adventure.
sometimes it's surreal to think that this is where I am and it seems so crazy that I'm an adult and I do stuff. I make decisions and then I act on them. I ask God what I should do and then I'm brave and I do it. even when it's kind of crazy and a little bit scary and unexpected.
but still, everything makes so much sense. and concurrently, no sense at all. there's still so many unanswered questions, yet always the understanding that I don't need all of the answers right now.
I'm in love. I am so completely in love. it makes everything brighter and sharper and more alive, and fogged out and insignificant at the same time.
isn't it so funny and fantastic that this is my life?
