nug life 101

i have arrived in nugget town, praise the Lord! i cannot believe how blessed i am to be sitting here..in this new house, completely whelmed (which IS a word, in case you were wondering..right, mom? ;) by the blessings.
i realized last night, as fear was beginning to set in over dad and cj leaving...that now that i'm here, i get to wait on the Lord for Him to show me what He's brought me here for...and what sweeter thing could there be but to wait on the Lord and follow His lead?
on top of it, shelley and katie and i just watched pride and prejudice.  which i have forgotten how much i love.  so, yes, to be absolutely cliche, i will quote lizzy:  completely, perfectly, incandescently happy...is how i feel.  the Lord has given me so much hope in Him, so much to strive towards, and so much to look forward to.  i hope that if you are reading this, and haven't known Him to be such a God, that you will discover Him to be so! 

^ this is a cop-out. i didn't take it.  but i have seen a view like this over the trees! i'll take my own soon, i hope.
i know this is a pretty sad post.  but hopefully, i'll be more specific as this gets to feeling more natural.  the truth is, it feels kind of funny to be doing this at all! but i super want to keep you posted...so i'm going to stick with it.  i just need to give it some time to get a feel for it, to feel like i'm not talking to myself :)  it'll come.
