the after-vacation blues

well, i got home yesterday from my sister's wedding in antigua. we were 17 degrees north of the equator and i got a pretty good tan. it was a crazy week--one i will probably never forget, but i am now exhausted. the wedding was beautiful and it was so good to spend time with my wonderful family.

now one day back into reality, i am semi-depressed. you know that dreadful time after vacation that everyone has? well, i have it right now. i'm stressed out because i have to find an apartment in san diego before i move...but that's hard to do when i'm not there. so i'm taking a huge leap of faith and just going--probably without an apartment. we have a place we could stay for a short while but i don't wanna put her out, so i'd rather have something set up when we got there.

i'm trying not to stress out but money is just so tight and i have no definite plans so i'm just throwing myself into the ocean, hoping not to drown. i am, however, excited to jump in and see where the tide takes me.

i didn't really get to spend much time with god while i was on vacation...which was disappointing but my own fault. i can't believe how much my spiritual life fluctuates depending on the people i am around. i'm ready to find a community in which i can thrive and be encouraged. so now i am working on moving forward with the lord and seeking his will for my life--even if it doesn't make sense. at this point, i don't even feel like i'm making sense. these ramblings come from a tired mind. i will blog later this week about things i learned on my trip. right now, i just need sleep.

OKAY WAIT A MINUTE!!!!

Hang on. I live here. I did the exact same kind of move you did, going in blind.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?! This is dumb for you to have all the same uncertainty I had, it's horribly emotional to move away and not even know where you're going to end up. Would you like me to call you? I'd be happy to take care of you in any way I can. If I sound like an absolute weirdo coming on so strong, ask heather about me. She'll undoubtedly confirm your fears...haha.

My number is 402-499-5922. I might be a little MIA if you try to call this weekend (parents in town) but I'm free as a bird after that.
