"I think I will go to Boston"

The boxes have begun to be filled.

The goodbyes have started.

We are moving in 13 days to Boston...CRAZY!!!

We are actually moving. I always knew that when we got married that we would be moving somewhere. Chris has always wanted to finish his Masters and I love adventure, so Boston it is. I am a florida girl and the thought of moving up to Boston is a little daunting, but I am excited!

We will pack all our stuff up, load it up in uhaul and move up. Chris will start classes in September at Gordon Conwell and I will start working with the Boston SV team. He will be pursuing his Masters in Divinity in hopes of either teaching, planting a church, joining staff with CRU or whatever else God may have planned. The first year we will live on campus in apartments- woohoo :) I am actually a little excited about it. I love the thought of living in community with others that are doing the same thing for a season of life!

Along with all the excitement, I am a sad to be leaving. Atlanta was my first adventure after college. I moved up here with a carload of things and a new job. The last 5 years have changed me and I have learned more than I ever could of imagined. I am grateful for the adventures, life lessons and experiences I have had. I will miss it more than I can put into words...

Top 5 things Atlanta has brought/taught me:

5) I learned that I still love the game of soccer. I have loved getting to coach at the high school and see how God can use soccer for His glory.

4) My first ministry assignment...SV North Fulton. I have had a different team each year I have been here and through each one, I have learned so much and had so much fun. I have seen God move in the hearts of students and change kids lives. As I sit and think, I am amazed at God's faithfulness to pursue his children and show them His love!

3) God is in control and know what is best for me- I am stil learning this now :)

2) The bestest friends that anyone could have! They have brought joy and laughter and encouragement in my life! I have had endless adventures. Oh how I will miss our deep conversations over coffee and getting to pray for each other and try new things!

1) I found my loving husband here :) We are coming up on 9 months of marriage in August and it is AWESOME! I could never have imagined that I would meet my husband in Alpharetta, GA. Once again, God surprised me with Chris as a sweet blessing and gift to me!
