onward.





After 3,000 miles, six states, and lots of gas station coffee, we made it safely to New Orleans!
Mike & I have spent a few days in NOLA now, touristing & getting settled. as you might be able to tell from the pictures above, it's been stormy & cold, but New Orleans sure looks photogenic. we had a big thunderstorm last night that woke us up from a dead sleep!

it’s wonderful to have Mike here, for so many reasons— i think it’s helping to ease my transition, it gives me an excuse to wander around the city, and makes me less afraid to ask questions about this new place. he is such a source of support. i love seeing things through his eyes, too: first experiences with the south (and the central time zone), humidity, different foods and new terrain. it’ll be so hard to see him leave. 
change is hard, and it’s big, and it’s scary. but i (think) i’m doing the right thing.
