Maryland: The Early Days

So I'm in Maryland. If this is news to you, scroll back a post or two and you'll see what I mean. Just make sure to skip over the bit about "Top 8 of 2008" because that never happened. I meant to do it, honestly I did. Maybe I still will. I'll probably get bored enough soon. It'll just be delayed.

Anyway, the drive up was uneventful enough so I'll withhold detailed descriptions of the ten hours I spent in a car on a gloomy day with an aching back. But at least the music was good.

The first day of work was great, mostly spent meeting people, being oriented with the office, and getting an overview of the next few months. I don't think it's going to be quite what I imagined, but I should be able to adjust to the work quickly.

It's been cold and rainy (threatening to ice over) since I've arrived so I haven't had a chance to take pictures outside, but apparently I now live in the country. Also not what I expected, but kind of cool. It's about a half-hour drive down to the Sovereign Grace Ministries offices from my uncle's house.

I started missing Georgia before I ever left, but a few of my wonderful friends gave me as a farewell gift the beautiful creation pictured below. It has immediately become one of my most valued possessions. Thank you Christina, Anne-Marie, Tiffany, Scott, and Scott.
