& I'm home!

Our time in Antigua was so wonderful! 

More snaps & stories to come, but for now I will 

enjoy a cup of coffee & crochet my little heart out

as I process through our time there.

the new normal

Phew.

Today I am welcoming in August with a late afternoon iced coffee from the local coffee shop, a cupboard full of new groceries (for the first time in months), and a little update here on the (neglected) blog.

July was full, so full. This summer proved to be rather eventful, which caught me by surprise. I had no plans of leaving Lynchburg anytime in the (near) future. But a job opportunity came my way pretty unexpectedly and I was recently hired to work with Crossroads Worldwide as their new Missions Director. Exciting (!), to say the least. I am so in awe of the Lord and His timing, plan, patience and love for me. It all stills feels a little surreal.

 

But with that change, came many more. Leaving my job, Church, friends and home in Lynchburg and packing up and heading south. I spent most of July in NC observing camp and learning more about my new position. Then I spent some time in northern VA with the family to hang out, rest and catch up with old friends. So it feels like I have been in transition for awhile. 

About a week ago though, I made the trip south. With the help of a few good friends and a Uhaul,  I have made my home in small town in southern North Carolina. I mean like, one stoplight small. I am thankful though for so many familiar faces and friends. I kind of feel like I left one home and walked into another.

So heres to welcoming new beginnings and making this life, the new normal.

Home again, home again

We got a long weekend at work for the Easter holiday, which was really wonderful. I decided to take the pup and head to my parents house for a few days. They live about 3 hours north and even though we talk a few times a week, it isn’t often that I have time with them- just to be with them. I enjoyed every minute with my family and felt very loved and refreshed on my drive back. I also had a good amount of time to work on a few creative projects, but more on those later. For now I just needed a reason to share a snap of Louise, it had been too long.
