yes, that's right. in less than 3 months i will leave my beloved home of 27 years to go to a strange and foreign land called chicago. i know that sounds dramatic, but i've been feeling a mixture of sadness and scared-ness as i think about it all.
i went to chicago last month and felt tons of wonderful things like excitement, anticipation and adventure. it was great.
but my trip this past weekend left me feeling anxious and apprehensive about the unknown called my future. as i was praying at a starbucks (i never felt so happy to be at a starbucks in my life - i've had lots of good times with god there, and seeing as all starbucks are the same, it was a touch of familiarity to me in an unfamiliar place ), i asked god questions like: who will be my friends here? what church will i go to? will i find a job? what will marriage be like? will i be happy? will i learn to get around? will i survive the cold winter? will you be with me here?
i'm sorta freaking out right now. just a litttle.
btw, know any good churches out there?
maybe these pics will cheer me up.
the weather was perfect this weekend. they told me there were only a few precious more weekends like this before the cold struck.
i was looking at jackets and the lady at northface asked me what i had in mind. i told her i'm moving from LA in january and looking for something to keep me warm. i told her, "to give you a better idea, i'm the type of person that gets cold IN LOS ANGELES".
you should have seen the look on her face.
