change
this probably has been one of the fastest weeks for me. a friend of mine asked what i had on my agenda this week, so i told him:
selling my house, planning the next 6 months of my life in detail, organizing a conference, moving, giving everything i own away, presenting, and finally flying to l.a.
he responded: see, now that’s the problem you have bc, too much time on your hands.
i told him even though it was through email i’m sure he could feel the flaming glare thru the screen. he said he did.
they say the two most stressful events in life are having kids and moving. i’ve never experienced the former, but i would tend to agree on the later.
the memories that were created in my house have made me who i am. in fact, my most favorite memories lay within the walls of that house (and porch). lifegroup, bocci ball, dinner parties, prayers, front porch time, hammock time, climbing the big magnolia tree in the back, wine nights, roommate times, c&b time, two-stepping lessons, indoor soccer, and so much more. i pray the new guy enjoys it just as much as i have.
so here i am. moving on like i do. another trip, another plane. another city. another set of adventures to be had. i’m scared to death.
T-minus…
11 days. that’s it. then i’m back in paradise.
a surprising turn of events in my life this past week , i was offered the opportunity to move – unfortunately to a place very, very cold. most people would love this city, but it’s just not where my heart is. could i grow to like it? possibly. it’s not on my 2012 list though. probably not on any list at this point.
it did get me thinking about cost of living in various places that i would consider lovely. their requirements (has to have at least 2 of these):
- beach
- beach + mountains
- love of coffee
- love of wine
- culturally diverse
- has destinations nearby worth taking the drive for
- no hurricane’s
as you can probably guess, any destination with any of this will be costly – but worth it. it’s all talk for now. too bad the one who offered me the move couldn’t be located in one of these! until then tulsa serves just nicely.
unfortunately this may be my last beach trip for a bit. they’re sending me up north the rest of the year – which will be nice come june. here’s to 11 more days in the arctic!
timeliness
i’m sitting in a cell phone waiting area for my boss & co-worker to land at oakland international. it’s 10:15 pm here which means 12:15 am body time. i’m in pain i’m so tired. so here are some highlights from this weekend:
- krista & i head to in n out burger for burgers & shakes 
loved it!
- we drove highway 1 along the coast – phenomenal
- of course, the company made trip so much more exciting! great talks all along the way
- ‘our bad timing God uses for His perfect timing’ ~ kdj
- the calistoga inn – gorgeous lunch place
- the hills of wine country
- bucket list items being somewhat scratched off
- texts from family/friends saying they misses us
