I live in North Carolina now. Kelly and I are in the process of changing our licenses and plates and all that good stuff, but within a year I will hopefully become an actual resident of North Carolina. Though I'm totally a mama's boy, and it's incredibly difficult for me to adapt to drastic change, things have worked out pretty well here. Kelly and I found an awesome apartment literally a mile away from Duke's campus, and apparently about 10 feet from our twin couple. We've met two great people, Colin and Molly Knapp, and the similarities are almost creepy. Both Colin and I are entering the divinity school. We both have July weddings. Kelly and Molly both graduated with degrees in social work, and all four of us love Sam Oches and Katie Haver, both of whom ended up here as well.
Yes that is all quite random, and may sound stupid to anyone else reading it, but I think it's funny. On a more serious note, I can't imagine how much more difficult this change would have been for Kelly and I if God had not provided for us the miracle that is fellowship in such an incredibly convenient and beautiful way.
Community has always been a key part of our faith. I'm pretty sure neither Kelly nor I would have survived college without the wonderful friends the Lord provided us with then...not to say they're all used up of course. If any of you are reading this, I'm crazy about you. But to know that God is continuing to provide that blessing to us is the biggest comfort I could have asked for. Now all we need to do is find a church. Unfortunately for us, Kelly and I had way too good of a church in Athens, so the bar is set pretty high. Hopefully that won't be a problem.
