New Beginnings...
posted by Erin and Begee @ 8:41 PM
Hello from our home for the night - a Super 8 Motel in Columbia, Missouri! We are on the road again... cue Willie Nelson.
In the last three and a half weeks, we have taken a boat from Martha's Vineyard to Woods Hole, Mass., driven to Vermont, GOTTEN MARRIED, flown in a hot air balloon, taken a ferry across Lake Champlain, driven to Ohio, flown to Miami, taken a cruise around the Western Caribbean, flown back to Ohio, and driven to our current location of Columbia, Missouri. Whew! We are happy and exhausted, and we won't be writing much tonight be
cause of it! We are, however, experiencing at least three new beginnings that have got us thinking.
1. We GOT MARRIED!!!! It was a beautiful crisp fall day in Vermont, and we couldn't have asked for more. We had our family, we had our friends, we had gorgeous fall color - reds, oranges, and yellows, we had love, and we had each other. After the ceremony we hopped into a hot air balloon and took a flight over it all. It was spectacular. We look forward to the beginning of our new adventures together as husband and wife. We are excited!!!
2. The election. After our honeymoon cruise, we went back to Ohio and volunteered for Obama for a couple of days. We were canvassing - out reminding people to vote. It wasn't much, but if we encouraged one person to vote that may not have, then we feel like our efforts were a success. Obama won Ohio!!!! That alone made us happy, but then, of course, as we all now know, he also won the election. We are so excited! It feels like a new beginning for America, and we are full of hope.
3. New jobs. It's that time again. In a couple of weeks, we will end up at our new jobs for the winter. As always, we are nervous, excited, apprehensive, curious, unsure, and happy. We will soon have new bosses, new friends, new housing, and new experiences. These will be the 16th jobs we have had together in the last five and a half years. These new seasons never get easier, but still, we are excited!!
We will be leaving the hotel in the morning, bright and early, and what lies ahead, we can't know. We hope for clear skies, friendly people, and safe roads. We are excited about our lives, our country, and whatever our future may hold.
