life back in the 'lou

so i'm back in st. louis. i never thought i would come willingly, but since drew was going to be starting seminary here... long distance the months before our wedding just didn't sound appealing. so i'm back and kicking!

i'm living with a friend for the next few months until we get married. our hope is to find an apartment next month so that drew can move in there over thanksgiving break and we will have the month to get things organized before the wedding. i'm also in the process of job hunting. i was lucky enough to get in with a nanny agency, so i've been doing temp work with them. i'm hoping that even when i, one day, find full time work, that i can keep doing some temp work on the side.

it's good to be around friends here! i think that is the saving grace of st. louis... community. it quickly made life busy and full and i love it. we were able to get back plugged in with a small group i used to attend and a group of friends who gather for community dinners. it makes the transition so much easier and they all seem to embracing drew as their own, which i love.

i think that's all for now. between all the transitioning, job and apartment hunting, wedding planning and catching up with folks, it's been a pretty busy first month in st. louis. i'll try to do better about updating!
