new locale

I've been in Tampa now for 21 days. The weather has been amazing. Really! It hasn't been too hot yet, no pollen, and the evenings are absolutely gorgeous.
My commute to work is about a mile and half, the longest part of my commute is navigating the parking garage. I know you're asking, "why aren't you walking?" Well, many days I need my care for meetings and it's way too hot here with unpredictable rain showers to try to walk. And futhermore, Tampa is apparently the lightning capital of the world--thrilling!
I've gone for a long walk almost every night since I've moved here which is further enhanced by the recent special delivery of my full loaded new ipod that was loaded for me by one of my favorite people.
It's weird to be in a strange city by myself, but I guess I've spent enough time alone and in strange places at this point for it not to be too bizarre.
I made it a top priority to rent a two bedroom so I'm really hopeful for lots of visitors. My friends living up north will especially like visiting from about October-April.
Bottom line as I embark on this new adventure, I know God has plans for my life and what He wants to do through me, and the city I live in is just merely a detail. And really who knows what might be next?!
And I'm so incredibly blessed and thankful for the consistency of the special people in my life who are still there for me regardless of what city I am in!
