Starting a new chapter...WHAT?

On the recommendation of a friend (hm, hm...Cody), I have decided to start a blog to share my thoughts and life with my friends (who seem to have spread out all over the world). It seems that I am "starting a new chapter in my life"...please imagine me saying this in a deep, important sounding voice. I am not really sure what this means or why everyone thinks it is such a great, exciting thing.

This "new chapter" includes heading to seminary at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA. I will be "leaving on a jet plane" (you know you sang that) at the beginning of September to live in an apartment, take classes, and accrue debt....ok, really to get my M.Div. degree. The new reality is both scary and exciting at the same time. I waver between freaking out and thinking I am going to live in the Garden of Eden.

In this seeming in between time, I am living and working in Washington DC at a Quaker hospitality center on Capitol Hill. I am folding laundry, attempting to give people directions around the city, and visiting museums!

So, I am hoping to put life event updates and various ramblings up for you all to read if you so choose! Cody, who recommended a blog, thinks I should blog about what I am thinking about writing my PhD dissertation about...I don't think I will share any such secrets! But I may tell you about some other great adventures....stay tuned, life continues after these messages!
