i haven’t blogged in awhile. so in an effort to keep you all updated and informed on everything going on in my life here’s the rundown :
christmas was just grand. i made the trek back to missouri to spend some time with family and friends and to do a little support raising. it was good break from the hustle and bustle of georgia life. i enjoyed all of my favorite meals, had good, much needed conversations over coffee with my grandparents and celebrated the restoration the lord is doing in my family.
nugget cousin ethan. er, i mean buzz lightyear
seesters.
they’re my faves. but don’t tell. they’ll get big heads.
i flew back to atlanta the day after christmas. immediately packed up my apartment and headed to the other side of town to a new apartment complex. i’m now living with stacy and tamica who were both on my world race squad. they both just came on staff with aim. it’s a joy and a blessing to have them here and to be able to keep doing life with them.
as soon as we all moved in some dear friends from our race were staying with us so we had lots of visitors coming in and out. drea came just to visit over the holiday and lindsay stopped by on her way out to lead another squad of kingdom-bringers. it was great to have so many people in our new home and to be able to usher in the new year with friends who have become like family.
wams. minus birkleigh.
the past week or so i’ve been recovering from all of the chaos of moving and entertaining. we had a freak snow/ice storm in the south so being snowed in for four days definitely helped this introvert get some much needed alone time. because of the snow the entire city was pretty much shut down. the office was closed most of the week so the roomies and i have been changing the world from our sweat pants. i might be taking over the living room with my color-coded attempts at strategic marketing plans.
roomies.
it’s been a crazy, but good few weeks. i am definitely ready for some sense of routine and normalcy, however. which is weird, because i used to run away from anything that wasn’t constantly changing. it used to make me feel stagnant if i was in the same place, doing the same thing for too long. maybe it’s the Lord’s grace right now. maybe i’m growing up. does that happen when you grow up? maybe i’ve just found contentment in the here and now. whatever it is, i’m thankful for it. i’m thankful for the break in anticipation and wondering and discontentment. i’m thankful to just be here. even though it’s still hard and different and unsettled in a lot of ways. i’m thankful.
well, that pretty much catches you up to speed on what’s been going on in my life.
what’s going on with you?
i am still looking for people who will partner with me as i continue to work with aim. would you commit to sending me $11/month in 2011? you can support me online. have questions? let me know.
