first week

Thus ends our first week here and I do not have the words to describe it adequately. The peace we feel in Atlanta is overwhelming. We are surrounded by family and new friends and it is just so good.  In just over two years of marriage we have moved more times than I can count anymore.  This, by far, has been the easiest and the most joyful.  There is so much hope surrounding everything happening to us right now!

Mr. F started work a mere two days after our arrival and was as happy as a schoolboy.  He still is.  He is so giddy to be working again!  Each day I drive him to the train station and pick him up in the afternoon.  It's a long commute for both of us, but so worth those smiles.

Aside from my husband's unabashed joy, we are delighting in family.  We're staying with family while we search for a house closer to town and it's just awesome.  I am so grateful for this situation for more reasons than I can even explain.  On top of that, one of my mom's cousins who I haven't seen in a decade lives here with her husband and five children.  Guys, this family is awesome.  You walk into their home and never want to leave again because of the amount of love you feel.  It's two days since I've seen them and I'm still smiling and can't wait for future adventures!

Life here, my friends, is very good.
