Relocation: East Coast

The last few weeks some very big things changed: I got relocated from Los Angeles to the east coast. My boss talked to me 2 weeks ago and said that there was a chance I may be sent to the east coast. Monday, only 3 days later, it was confirmed and a flight was book. My new partner Michelle and I arrived in PA on Saturday.  We have had shows everyday this week and had the ability to work with some great schools.

Overall I am excited about this move. It was a bummer leaving a community at the condo, as well as the Life Group I had joined (see one earlier post), but I like being on the road again. Our three nights we stayed in downtown Newark, NJ.  As I looked out the window I was able to see New York City, including the Empire State Building, in the background. It was awesome. We will be back in that area soon, so sometime Michelle and I are going to tour around the big city!  Tomorrow we may even go see the sights in Philadelphia!

Its also a huge blessing because in just a couple hours I get to see my dad (and hes bring my dog :) ). My dad was gracious enough to drive 5 hours one way to bring me some warmer clothes. There is definitely a huge difference in climate between Southern Cali and the east coast right now.  Plus if I am close to home some weekend there is a chance I may get to go home as well.

I am also just super excited to get to explore the New England states. I haven't been up this way in several years. My main youth ministry professor from college lives up in New Hampshire now. This weekend Michelle and I are going to stay with him and his family, doing some sightseeing (hopefully Boston!) and just hang out. It will be so nice!

Honestly I feel like God has really provided for me with this. Not that things have been bad, I just thinking right now this is better for me. There are definitely things I miss about being in Cali, but I could be back there in just a few months, but overall I am extremely excited and grateful for this!
