A Nitro Life
Hello. It's me.
Over here in Colorado sipping on nitro iced coffee on tap - ermergerd.
It's been a week since I officially moved to Colorado Springs, though it feels like I've been here much longer.
Thank you to all of you who have reached out with encouragement and cheers and who have been so patient with me responding to emails and texts.
As promised, here is just a small update of what's been going on:
Mama King and I took 4 days to get out to Colorado Springs stopping in Detroit, Indianapolis, and Kansas City along the way, arriving here on Wednesday the 13th. I got the keys to my apartment, signed some papers, unpacked the car and then we crashed at my Aunt Jody and Uncle Barry's house (THANK YOU) because there was no bed yet in my inn.
Thursday mom and I spent the day running around to goodwill/walmart/dollar store etc. getting all the things we needed to set up the apartment.
Friday was my first day of work and mom stayed home setting up and unpacking most of my stuff. We got a couch, some chairs, a table (thank you Margaret Shuey!) a bookshelf all making it feel more like home.
I would not be so well settled if Tiece L. King had not come on my road trip. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Work is great. I absolutely love my job and my coworkers. There's definitely a lot to learn and this is the most chaotic two weeks in their ministry, but it's still wonderful... though I am very much looking forward to having a weekend off.
After this week, I'll be heading to Vancouver for a conference for five days which I'm really looking forward to as well. (Plus I get to go eat sushi with Joyce!!) Lots and lots of travel opportunities to meet amazing people who are passionate about their work.
Oh and in case you didn't see... my bed came a day early! Yesterday to be exact.
A Doxology moment for sure.
And I know many of you are concerned, but, Ingrid is doing just fine. Though she did make a hole in my fitted sheet, but other than that she's adapting quite nicely to the new place.
I'm currently writing all of this in the most hipster coffee/beer/lunch/wine place I've seen so far enjoying an incredible nitro iced coffee on tap. holy hannah. Basically cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen, straight from the tap creating this smooth, creamy, stout-like taste.
Strong. Enriched. Lively.
Just as I'm feeling.
xoxo, Ingrid and I in our new homestead
