Back in the big city...

I made it. I actually did it. Genae and I have begun our life transitions to this new place - Washington, DC. The nation's Capitol. What is it going to look like? What do our lives mean and involve here?

I arrived here on Thursday to housesit for a professor of mine. Genae arrived yesterday. Shock and sadness began to set in as we realized we had left the lives we loved behind and started out on a new journey. We are excited, but why did we leave our friends (our families) behind? I spent the last four years adjusting to California... but now, that's gone. No, actually, it's not gone... it's just time for the next stage.

It's exciting to be here, but so much is unknown. We looked at our first apartment today and fell in love with it, so we've already applied for it. We'll find out Monday probably if we got it. Job searching. Apartment searching. Church searching. Life searching. This is now. Not in the future, as it has been for so long. Here we go...
