onward

i spent my last night in maryland at the county fair.
the parents and i wandered the arts and crafts part of the fair while the younger brothers rode close to 30 rides in 2 hours with their cousins.
it was the most beautiful way to say goodbye to a summer on the east coast.

i leave today for oklahoma with erin.
and from there, we venture on to california where i will be living for the next 9months.
i am officially moving away from home.
and it is completely overwhelming and terrifying.
i dont know the answers to the all the questions that will come.
but as sister reminds me, we know WHO holds the answers.

i hope this next year brings contentment in whatever circumstance is in store for me.
i long for adventure, challenges, change, progress, knowledge and a deeper love.

so long maryland.
hello california.
