New adventures

I am not scared or worried and I am honestly excited for the ride ahead.

This was a line I wrote in one of my lasts posts. I'm not scared. I'm terrified. This has been one of the most emotional week of my life. I have officially been in Texas for a week and have finished my first week of work.

Its starting to sink in. This HUGE decision is starting to sink in. I found myself Monday night in my empty apartment sobbing because I am here all by myself. And I know it sounds exactly like a pity party. And it was. The reality that I am 1700 miles from those that I love dearly stings a lot. But at the same time I know that this exactly where I am supposed to be.

I know this will pass. It won't be like this forever. I will meet new people and I will make friends and I won't always feel like just another person in the sea. God is in control and I have to stop worrying about the unknown. All I know is today.

I am so very grateful that the Stegall's are close by and I get the chance to hang out with them. Its a glimpse and reminder of home.

So excited to head back to the church I found last Sunday called The Bridge and get to know some people there.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.

Love,

Marge

Things I've learned

So Amy and I roadtripped it across the United States. 3 states, 28+ hours, and 9.5 hours of sleep later we have arrived.

And I love Sugar Land.

And Texas.

So these are the things I've learned so far:

HEB- is a grocery store that stands for Here Everythings Better.

The speed limit on parts of the 10 is 80 MPH

They have frontage roads that follow along side the freeway so you don't have to get on and off all the time.

Their don't liter signs say: Don't Mess with Texas

No bars in Sugar Land and parts of the City are dry.

The signs near road construction say: We work for you, give us a BRAKE

DWI: You can't afford it

On two lane freeways you are supposed to only be on the left lane when you are passing.

People are super friendly and nice.

The list will continue, but so far that is what we have discovered. I love it here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blessed

I know you have missed me! And I have missed blogging. Where has the time gone? It is the 17th of January and this is my first post for 2011. To my faithful readers, who ever you are, my apologizes. (This one is for you Tore)

So right before I started writing this post I was searching for apartments. Yes, apartments. In Texas. What??????

6 months, 50 applications, and 16 interviews later, I have a job. I have a job. Can you believe it? I am so excited.

I am the athletics/aquatics coordinator for the City of Sugar Land in the great state of Texas. I still can't believe it is real. It hasn't sunk in yet. I am blessed beyond measure and am completely confident that our gracious and heavenly Father has His hand in this entire process. I am not scared or worried and I am honestly excited for the ride ahead.

Love,

Marge
