so the weather is bad today. 4 below with a windchill of 19 below. cold. i considered posting about how miserable it is here and how i can't believe that of all places to land, we landed here. cold makes me cranky.
but then i realized i'm being a jerk to MI. aside from the rotten weather, michigan has been amazing to me.
1. i have a great job. i love my boss and all my coworkers...especially Jan, who i job share with.
2. i love my church. seriously, i've never known a church like mine...not perfect, but i would never want to go to a perfect church. i wouldn't fit in.
3. The best one...i love my friends. my community is a dream. you know what they did for me on friday? they threw me a surprise baby shower. i don't feel worthy of my friendships at all. it makes me want to do more to show them how important they are to me. when i look back over the past few years here, i'm overwhelmed by all the things that have been given to us, all the ways that we have been served, all the support we have received. we don't deserve it, but we are grateful.
so in reality, michigan is pretty great. if we lived in the bahamas without everyone, it would be a rotten place to be. location is just location.
