emily the nomad.

I can't believe that an entire year has passed since I came back from Russia. 07-08 has been quite the ride... a year of cultural adjustment, low-lows, and high-highs. I moved into a new apartment with new roommates, got a new car, and a new job. This year I was trained how to preach, teach, interpret, and study the Old and New Testament, write systematic theology, and finance a ministry. New hobbies for the year include Arabic, yoga, surfing, wake-surfing, and tai chi. I flew on 25 planes this year, traveling from Colorado to Michigan to Seattle to the Bahamas to Daytona to Orlando back to Colorado...I paid rent for twelve months but was living there just over three.

The fall is quickly approaching....and with it will come stability. I am so thankful for this year, but am ready for things to settle down a bit. Next year, will definitely be less nomadic. I will continue hobbying, stop traveling, and start living.
