excited

the past several days ive been in the community that ryan and i are moving to in just a few weeks. 

im so excited about our future here. 

not only is it beautiful!

the people here are so great. genuine. sweet. welcoming. and full of love. 

i can't wait to move. 

im excited about our new house. our new church. and our new community. 

i started my clinicals today-- down the road in black mountain. 

and it was a wonderful day. 

i loved the clinic site. the patients. the providers. the other office staff. 

really-- its just a different way of life here. 

slow. genuine. care-free. relaxed. caring. kind. 

i really, realllly like it. 

i think i just love mountain folks. 

there is just something different about them that i love.

im thrilled about the next chapter in our life. 

our life in the mountains. 

as a pastor's family. 

in the country. 

with cows as our neighbors.

casseroles in the fridge. 

rocking chairs out front. 

a swing in the backyard. 

and lots and lots of sweet tea. 

im pretty sure i was made for this.
