how I've miss those country roads. I spent Labor Day weekend in good ol' Morgantown, WV. How fun to drive into Morgantown with the mountains all around. I didn't think I would miss this place as much as I do! This place holds such a sweet place in my heart. Here are a few reasons why:
- The people! My friends here are so dear to me. From my crusade brothers and sisters to my fieldcrest buddies. You all mean to the world to me and wish you could all move to Norfolk with me.
- Mountaineer Football. Duh. There is nothing I love more than game-day saturday. Everyone in town is a football fan on game-day. I look forward to seeing a sea of blue and gold around town.
- sunsets over the mountains.
- the culture. the natives of morgantown are just nice, hard working people. i love the laid back nature of the people here.
- familiar coffee shops like zenclay, blue moose, and the [morgantown] starbucks.
- quirky things like the PRT and the Alley Cat Shop on High Street.
- it's Wild and Wonderful!
- this place will always remind me of my sweet conversion. How I *first* fell in love with my Creator. How my Creator grabbed hold of my heart. How He redeemed me from death and gave me life.
I guess more than anything, I miss the familiarality of the place where I spent the last five years. It was a great weekend to soak it all in and just "live." I am so grateful for my time in Morgantown. I have learned so much from being in this place.
I am excited to start a new adventure here in Norfolk. Excited to fall in love with a new unknown place. To make coffee shops seem familiar, to embrace the culture, and fall in love with the people. I'm ready!
