Moving is Insane!

So I guess I should update everyone on the move to Arkansas! So far it's been interesting. I love my job, it's really great and I am super excited about growing Girl Scouts in this area. Because my only Girl Scout experience was like a year when I was really young, and I didn't like it, and a couple years of camp I had a lot to learn. The new Girl Scouts branding just came out and they've also been working to make Girl Scouts more responsive to the needs of girls and it's SO COOL!! They have these things called Journey's that take Girl SCouts beyond the typical crafts, camping, cookies idea that everyone has. It really encourages girls to make a difference in their community and global awareness and all that. So I definitely am excited about getting out there and recruiting not only girls but also adult volunteers. Because without them there is no Girl Scouts! The two other girls that started the same day as me are really great! We've really been working together nicely as we try and figure everything out together. I'm of course the youngest but not by much (only about a year or so).
I signed a lease last week and have been waiting to move in until this week. I didn't want to have to pay the pro-rated rent for the week when I'd already paid for the hotel. Moving is expense, though I'm sure everyone already knew that. Luckily our apartment complex we signed with has a great deal right now. We get the first and the last months rent free. Woo! Which is really good cause things have been adding up fast!
Mark is coming down this weekend and I can't wait to see him!!! It'll be nice to get to spend some time together even though I'll be working and have some evening events that I'll need to be at, but it will be really nice to come home to my hunny! But it will be really hard to drive him to the airport on Saturday.
Well I can't really think of anything else. I miss the weather back home I know that, it's HOT here, and we're lucky because of the higher elevation we've been spared the heat advisory. But it's still in the mid-90's with humidity that makes it feel like 100-110!! I hope people come visit cause there is some really cool stuff here in Fayetteville! The area around the University is really cool, the area is absolutely beautiful. We're in the Ozarks so the area is pretty mountainous and the drive here was beautiful! And of course I miss my family and friends back home! But the people here are really friendly! I'd say way more friendly than in MI, or at least in Holland/Zeeland. I tried a new church on Sunday (that went quite well) it was fairly small probably around 75 people, or at least less than 100. While I was there waiting for the service to start, a couple of the elders came up and introduced themselves. The one teaching that day was all excited to introduce me to his wife who is a girl scout leader, and she was all excited to invite me back, and said I should come out to their house for game nite with their small group. I'll definitely be going back this week so hopefully it goes just as good.
Well that's all for now...
