New home in Ohio.
Welcome back to Ohio. Made it up yesterday morning, so this is day two, first full day in the off campus house. Things are pretty slow to start, but thats normal, and not half bad. Got in a few hours of work this morning, and right now, sleep or caffeine is calling me. Love quietness again without having a lot on my mind. Peace. Had good times hanging out with some of my best friends last night (John Gray, Ryan Samuelsen, Shelly Boudreau), as well as some new ones (Amy Clark) at John’s house. Spent the time in good conversation, grilling out, food, cats, and other randomness. It was a really good time, and the perfect way to start of the year with fellowship in the common bond of our Savior, Jesus. Then spent the next 2-3 hours helping Ryan unpack and move into South, which was a good time. Then back here to crash around 1:30ish. Got up before 10, checked in on some work stuff until 1, made lunch, and here we are. Getting ready to play some Half-Life for a bit I think, until John comes by after work, and then a meeting at 9 for the whole getting started thing. So a nice day. Not much else to report. For anyone who hasn’t seen the house, and wants to, check it out here: Mini-House!
…6hrs later to finish the post. Had Ryan and John over for dinner. We ate subway actually, ’cause they missed hitting up Chucks. Good times and thanks to Ryan for spending his gift card on us. Then meetings all night, which was exciting. Got pumped about the Getting Started stuff, plus I’m working with one of the ladies from my NYC trip, so she’s cool. Then talked it up with some DC folk for a bit, which was good to see them again. And then spend from 11:30ish until now at Andrew’s place in St. Claire just chilling and catching up. Good to see him and John Bright again.
Nice to be back around peers after a summer of separation. Summer was good. And now, this is good too. Welcome back all! Up early tomorrow for a day of fun in Columbus. Gonna be a long one…
