First day of the real world is a wrap!

Exhausted. Tired. Excited.

Today was the day — the big move to the DMV, well, most specifically the ‘M’ part being Maryland! But after a long drive there and then two and half hours of moving in all my stuff, I’m officially moved into my new apartment in Silver Spring, MD! Of course, it’ll take me a few … Continue reading →

The phrase “God is good” will not grow old anytime soon and will be used regularly in my vocabulary because God is so good…and he’s been reminding me of that lately! Why, might you ask?
