Reflections on the Adventure of Life

My brother asked me a fairly simple question today... "what did you do this weekend?"... The better question may be, "what did I not do this weekend?"

Watched a movie. Went shopping. Saw a concert. Ate at IHop. Got out of my lease. Went to a museum. Had amazing pizza. Owned at Balderdash. Went to church. Served the homeless Thanksgiving dinner. Watched a play. Went to a party. Somehow I even managed to fit some sleep in there... not much though.

I have met so many amazing people since moving to DC, so you can imagine that the weekend festivities were that much better because of the people involved.

The past week has given me reason to reflect on how my current life in DC compares to life as I expected it, and even life as it was for the first two months I was here.

I have been telling people that the experience of moving to a brand new place with absolutely no connections, starting form scratch, has to be one of the best experiences of your life. I highly recommend everyone do so at some point in their lives. I have learned so much about myself and about the world, and therefore about God.

The really exciting part is that there is so much more to come. New adventures reveal themselves everyday. Life, even a month from now, could yet again look drastically different.

It looks like I may be switching up my living arrangement. I am excited by the prospect of having a place where I can cook and fellowship, where people can stay when they come to visit, and the flexibility to leave town! I am even excited about fostering community with roommates. It's an aspect of living that I have missed.

Next semester will bring a new schedule, a new internship... and who knows what else.

Whatever the circumstances, I have a feeling it will be jam-packed fun!
