life in the burgs. phase 1

well. i don't know if anyone still reads this (feel free to comment and let me know otherwise). especially since it has been forever since i've updated. but i'll try and do better...

so since may:
finished living in macedonia. learned some new songs on the guitar. traveled to lubbock. spoke at 4 different groups. traveled to austin. traveled to dallas. traveled to nashville. traveled to BLACKSBURG.

so Blacksburg is located in western Virginia. not West Virginia....
it is surrounded by burgs. Christiansburg. Harrisoonburg (my favorite). Lynchburg. Rustburg. thus - the new blog title.

i drove in by way of friends' homes and got here yesterday. the apartment is fun. quirky and old. i love it. and it is about 1.5 minutes walk from work.... it shares a parking lot.
the first stop was target, of course. and i am glad i beat the rush of college kids that will be flooding in from all sides this week. there was still a little bit of a selection.
but i am sure the aisles of target will look like the fields of the old testament when the locusts came through. laid to waste. completely plundered.

BED BATH AND FAR BEYOND
so i have been praying for God to send me someone to speak macedonian with here. today at bed bath and beyond i ran into two different little groups of people who spoke a language similar enough for us to converse. i was BEAMING after wards. don't you just love it when He shows off?

my first staff meeting was this afternoon. i was in stitches nearly the whole time. i am surrounded by funny people and i love it.

for now i leave you with pictures of the new place. and desperate pleas to not give up on me and blogging. more to come.
