I promised most of you that I would start one now that I have moved out of your everyday lives and into your occasional thoughts, because I miss each of you terribly and am more than motivated to stay in touch across the miles! So, I figured I'd start a blog specifically chronicling the adventure of my transition from suburban Austin to up-town Manhattan. I guarantee that my entries will be full of slightly insignificant ramblings and the occasional retelling of a monumental moment - just as our every day conversations would be if we were at Chick fil A or any park :).
As I continue to meet new people through the church and chance meetings throughout my days walking around with the kids, the most common question that I get asked (after: "are those YOUR children? is that your THIRD coming soon?!?") is: "so, how are you adjusting to the city?" And it seems like most people that I have talked to have a considerable adjustment period, filled with disappointments and occasional tragedies and inconveniences. We have definitely experienced all of these. But our love for the city and for the people who join us in calling it home has far outweighed those things in our minds - almost to the point where they are not thought of as negative, but rather just all part of the ride. The city feels like home - and our new lifestyle, "normal", which I believe is the grace of God in our lives for sure.
Well, I miss you all terribly, and I hope that really we can keep up our friendships in some way through the delightful inter-web :). Love!
