A Day In Georgia

So I did finally make it to Georgia!! In a record for the books, I made the whole drive in a day, only stopping at a gas station for a 40-minute nap. I was pretty excited to get a move on, and every time I got tired, I thought about laying in a hotel bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about how I could've been driving. Let me tell you, I don't think we as humans were made to drive 16+ hours in one go. Now that I've done it, I can say for sure that it shouldn't be done!!

I'm really surprised at how many people here that I remember from over three years ago. The bad part is that my memory has never been really good, so the names haven't all quite come back, but I'll just do what I normally do (every day) and try to talk to everyone without using their names, until there's a wear-a-nametag-to-church day. I'm really bad at remembering names. I couldn't remember my wife's name for nearly four months! (After I first met her! Not after we got married!)

Nevertheless, things are great here. I couldn't tell you how great it is to be reunited with my wife and dog after so long, and to realize that I'm no longer in Army's employ (for now). Still, with all of the 'newness' of this place, I'm finding that I'm still pretty scatterbrained, so there won't be any good postings for a short bit.

Just trust that God delivers on His promises!
