Hasta pronto P -Town

Friday night will be my last night in P-Town. I've begun moving. Moving things to my parent's. Moving things to Maybe's parent's house. For about a month we will be address-less.

I have mini-bouts of nostalgia, remembering that this is the place where I was first fully independent from my parents, the place I first knew true Christian community after InterVarsity, the place where I saw the faithfulness of God, the place where I finally felt settled, and calm after years of angst and struggling, the place where I fell in love with my future husband.

On Sunday, there was peace, and I still feel it. The wedding, honeymoon, saying goodbye, the move... it will all happen and it will be beautiful and sad and amazing and hard work! I'm so excited to start this next chapter with Maybe.

Perhaps in two years we will return to P-Town well established and accomplished in our marriage and sense of adventure. Right now, that is the thing we hope for, to return to this beloved, underdog of a place and to raise our family in the fear of the Lord.

Until that day, I'm signing off, at least from this location.
