I’ve lived in Los Angeles, CA for the last two and a half years–until the last 5 days. I prayed that stupid prayer again, now and my husband and I have been lovingly transported back to our rainy city with no house, no jobs, wonderful friends, and a sock monkey named Chudley. (or Kevin.) I’m full of terror. But I’m loving it.

Four of us moved up this month from the sunny skies of Los Angeles to take a big risk–live together for two months, save every penny, and then drive across the country playing music and having a crazy adventure. So we are currently in phase 1 of that plane. That frightening jumping-off-a-cliff-getting-the-wind-knocked-out-of-you-just-broke-up-with-someone-displaced-broke feeling. Thats the one.

We are being hosted by our favorite people in Seattle until our house closes at the end of the month (thank you everyone:). So I’m hoping this blog will be a wonderful way to let you all know how the move in goes, how the improvements of our house come along, what is cooked in its beautiful kitchen, and the adventures of the six people who live in it have.

My new years resolution is to pray ronnie’s prayer as many times as possible and begin to learn even more about what it means to truly love, serve and know. I want to blog more and watch tv less. Read more and waste less. Listen more and talk less. Laugh more and complain less. Include more and exclude less. Kiss more and argue less (with my husband…). I want to run towards the things I know I’m made for and take on challenges without being held back by fear. Who knew that a little man in africa would be inspiring me years later to makes these ridiculous resolutions? I guess that’s what I get for listening to a man so dear to God’s heart.

Happy new year ronnie. You ruined my life for the better.
