Following the trip

whew! what a trip this was. i am returning back to good old texas.
this trip was a success in many ways. it easily won my heart with the weather, view, culture, and towns and i cannot wait to see why the Lord wants me here... not too shabby!
Although i did not square away an apartment, which was a huge stresser... i still have such peace and excitement about this move, so i am, for once in my life , going to roll with the punches! and lets be honest, that's not me at all. i like for EVERYTHING in my daily life to be planned out. i remember when i was younger i used to tell my family  my life plan, which was me being engaged by 23, married by 25,  and at least one kid by 28.. well, um... i am 24 now and i am not engaged, no plans of getting married and well, no kids of my own. HA!

WHAT IS NEXT...

We are all still on board for moving that first week in October, so like october 5th. Mel and I will take Jonas with us to Michigan, while Saul stays behind for a month to sale the house. I will stay with Jonas' family for a few weeks until I get into an apartment! I will be temporarily homeless:) can't wait haha. I still planning to score an apartment in the Royal Oak area, which is amazing and looks almost like a touch of Austin. Pictures to follow!

Visiting Michigan

im visiting Michigan and have spent the whole day travelling from plane to plane, to shuttle, to car and finally to my hotel! whew.
if you know me, you know that im not the worlds greatest traveler... im know for calling my sister the day before i board the plane and make her check me in because, yes, i still don't know how! and of course, i arrive at the Austin airport at 5am( special thanks to mal for taking me that early) and try to check in at the delta airlines with my southwest ticket... nearly had a heart attack with the lady telling me , " we dont have a connecting flight to Chicago". however, i finally made it and on the right plane!

a little about Birmingham

Birmingham is about 20 miles outside detriot and as soon as you are driving pass detriot, it is beautiful, trees, parks, landscape... just wonderful!
 pictures will not do it justice, the weather is perfect . i could live outside ( in the fall anyways). you can walk all around, the area reminds me of 45th street with a touch of westlake.  today, i walked all over the place and then drove into different areas to try and "learn" the roads... but we all know thats a joke, i cant even get myself back home without a gps! on my adventure, to my surprise i found a whole foods and wal mart... are these things chains?!
