2000 Miles Later...

     And here I find myself, in another coffee shop looking out the window, holding a Chia Tea Latte, just like any other day. But today is different because as I look out watching cars fly past I know that I do not know the name of the street. I know I do not know anyone in any of the cars. And I only know a tiny bit about the city that I am currently observing.
I am officially a Montanan.
And to be quite honest, I kinda can not believe it. After six months of talking and preparing, I am finally here. I live in a city where I know no one and have to use GPS to get anywhere. But you know what? I am excited. This is different, this is challenging, this is what I have always said I would do. And today I did it.
I am so thankful for all of the people that gave me the ability to get here. My parents have been nothing but supportive and dropping them off was harder than I could have imagined. My friends have encouraged me endlessly, keeping me on the right path towards this exciting future. And of course I believe God has been there watching over me the entire time, guiding me here. For He is the one who truly knows my heart and knows that I can do this. A thought which brings a lot of comfort as I think about all of the new around me. But I am also so excited. Excited about the new people and the new experiences. I can not believe that it is finally here.
There is one thing that is also on my mind besides being by myself...it is COLD. Well more chilly, but still it is August 20th. In Alabama August is known as one of the very hottest months of the year. And yet here I am, in jeans, a jacket and wielding a hot cup of tea. The forecast states that it is fifty five degrees here. IN AUGUST. It seems like there is going to be a lot that I am going to have to get used to here in Billings.
All right I should probably stop rambling now and head to lunch with some of my new classmates. I think my mind is a little bit overloaded right now. Understandable, right? Wow I can not believe I am here. In BILLINGS. Things are going to be good.
