on the hills

Exactly one year ago today, we were having dinner on Huntington Beach with Tia Ro and Joe to celebrate G's birthday. That was the last day of our trip to Cali. A trip that would help us determine if it could be our next destination. Our new address. We were excited more than anything because the school we checked out for G was pretty amazing, and we would be living close to family for the first time in years. But in the months thereafter, the plans began to change - God had something a little different in store.

Instead of being in the LA area, we'd be moving closer to San Diego. A place we both had never considered living before, much like Chicago. G began looking  into Westminster's program for Theology, and for him it was the best program he found out of dozens of schools he looked into around the globe. The places we seriously considered before deciding on SD ranged from South Africa to Germany as well as several states in the U.S. But somehow, the Lord guided G into finding a school is Escondido, California about 6 months before I was graduating. Last minute happenings have been a constant theme for us thus far!

From considering Southern California last March, to living here and (brace yourselves!!!) *moving* into our new apartment, I'd say a whole lot can certainly change in one year! Who would've thought that of all days, our move-in falls on G's birthday! Tomorrow! What a gift Lord. I'm so thankful and giddy and cannot wait to make it ours with lots of pretty things....

From a home in the city to a home on the hills.
