Cali, you have done it again.

School here is different.
Yes, prepare yourselves for a really typical "update" sort of blog.
Sorry.
I love it here, don't get me wrong, but it is very different.
I look for you in the faces i see, i think that has hurt the most.
"Life as a transfer is a rough one!"- she said sarcastically
Yet, behind those words, there is a lot of reality.
I think that the hardest part, for me at least, is that fact that i don't know people.
And that i am stubborn.
I was talking to Luke and he told me i have to branch out, i have to meet people.
After all, i am going to be here the next 3 years.
As much as i want to, i just keep looking for you.
I keep thinking i'll wake up and be in Pennsylvania.
Now, as much as i would love to see all my peeps, that is not where God has me right now.
And i know that.
I just hate change.
It hurts.
a lot. 
Several different things were compromised because of my move, before and after, and that hurts.
But what makes it worth it is my future.
And my today.
I am more than thankful for the friends i have 3 hours ahead of me. i hate to break it to y'all, but you guys are stuck with me for the long run!
But i am also thankful for my friends and family here.
I am thankful for the people here at Simpson and in Redding, who have poured into me and loved me. I am thankful for the friends i am making and the relationships i am cultivating.
Change hurts, and it stings.
I cry over the little Amish state on a regular basis. That will not change anytime soon.
But i rejoice over the people here.
I am thankful for this state and all that it has for me.
