absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
i doubt anyone even checks this little blog anymore, but i thought i might just put a little post in. i’m in lookout mountain, ga, staying in a student apartment at Covenant College, with all my worldly goods in storage somewhere in Georgia (seriously, I have no idea where they are). i’m waiting to find a new house to live in to go with my new job here at the college. tomorrow afternoon, i’m going to check one more place out and try to make up my mind on what I want to buy. my house is philly sold in a hurry, although managing all the details while traveling in Ukraine and Turkey was quite interesting.
i’m excited about this new opportunity, back to working with students and helping them think about life and work. it does feel like i’m on some kind of big road trip, having packed up my car, and driven for days, visiting family and friends along the way, and staying in a place where i’m not really unpacking. it always takes a while for a place to feel like home for me, but i think a big step will be having a place to call my own. for now, i’m eating lots of prepared food and living with very white walls and institutional furniture.

I check it!
I always forget that Covenant is actually in Georgia and not Tennessee.
Hows about I come up Saturday for lunch and get you out of the bland apartment?

I check it, too!
Georgia is awesome, I must say so myself, living here for 5 years now. And Lookout Mtn is just gorgeous…I’m jealous, because my dream is to one day live up there. The view from the college is just stunning. And Chattanooga is so close and it’s just a fun city, especially with all the new riverside attractions. You might not realize it, but you’re lucky to live there.
Hope you get settled in alright and find a place soon!

hi friends. it’s good to know i haven’t alienated you with my poor communication. i do like the view pretty well, Allison. you are welcome to visit me as soon as i have a house! karen, i am hoping to settle in Tennessee, but the college is just across the border in Georgia, and I’m staying there temporarily.

I hope the house hunting is going well - make sure it has a big driveway (so Lizzie can come and park!)
love you - Steph
