just so i don't waste time, i decided to start a blog.
plus we moved far away...
and i needed some new ways to process...
and finally give some details to the brave few who have the time to read them...(oh the days of the ohio office job...i had so much time to read blogs...)
we are now moved. i have enclosed some pics of our apartment. we are adjusting. brian starts school in a week, and i start working in a week as well (i am going to be teaching art, reading, math and science to three-year olds...! holy-crap! i am totally in the dark, going to be learning everything anew...how did that happen...?) let's just say, we do circle-time everyday where we sing "good morning to you, good morning to you, we are all in our places with sun-shiney faces" and then the kids go around the circle and say how they are doing, and many of them answer "my name is ____, and i am super-duper happy today!" wonderful. how can i get caught up in my insecurities when i have kids around me everyday singing about sunshine and totally full of happiness? god is good. :) i will have many stories from school, i am sure.
brian is super excited to start school. he's going to be amazing. this program is just awesome and we have already been meeting some of the other grad students (and brian is already becoming fast friends with everyone, no surprise there right? he's quite a charmer i must say.)he is already getting so many ideas for his artwork, and i have been more encouraged to work on my stuff, too. which is a good thing. it is so cool to see him entering into a place where he will really thrive and grow. i can't wait to see what he makes. :)
and i am overall in flux. but excited. :) just in process...those of you who have moved to a completely new place can relate, i'm sure. :) one minute i will feel totally stoked and think i am adjusting quite well, then an hour later i will be confused and longing for familiarity. but these are all normal feelings i am told, and will continue to grow and change. so i have some hope in that. :)
anyways, i could be blogging a lot or a little in the future. we will just have to find out! but there have already been happenings in the areas of culture (lots of it here in jersey, people. all kinds and that i LOVE), new friends, church and growth/vision in our life. and it's only been three and a half weeks.
but a full and wild (and so unlike what we have experienced before) three weeks.
onward we go!
