Here's an excerpt from an email I shared with close family and friends:
[A]ll is well because the Lord constantly provides! I had a shift at my job that provided me with a window to leave the company and relocate; and my lovely cousin so graciously invited me out to Virginia. Can you guess what my answer was when she asked me? Hmmm, how about a nonchalant, "Ok." Then, I drove to my birthday twin's apt to ring in our midnight celebration.Perhaps you're not used to making nonchalant answers to things that probably shouldn't be decided on nonchalantly. How about thinking of it this way: what have I got to lose? And then the reply would be simple. Nothing.Nothing.So, Feb.8 I received some farewell advice from my dad- he's pretty much amazing- hopped on a plane, and arrived at BWI as the newest east coast girl. (;You're probably wondering what I've noticed since I've been out here. Well, incorrect spelling is a huge problem. Just take a look! http://cheezburger.com/View/4448733184 . (I love "Fails"- hilarious!) Other than that, I've just noticed continuous confirmation about my decision. From clients who have ties to the area, to the lady sitting next me on the plane who's daughter successfully did what I'm doing, to randomly meeting well connected people in the area (ahem, establishment owners).I also attended a panel at U of MD via invite from a dear friend. There I met Bill Ayers. You all remember him? Google it. I must say, he is very intelligent; and, speaking with him I gathered that he is very personable as well.Pretty fancy, huh?
There you have it- I'm well on my way into a grand adventure. Enough time to do something crazy, but not enough time find the energy to convince myself to do it. Don't worry, the opportunity has only just begun...
Before leaving, I visited family.
This is so sweet! My cousin, Lilly, made her specialty for me. Her beary cake.
Mmmm! It was delicious!
Mmmm! It was delicious!
Sea you later Reign City!
