Feels Like Home

This weekend I was able to take some quality me time and relax. Things have been really busy for us lately and it was nice to take a break this weekend and relax. One of my favorite things to do to unwind is go on long walks with Charlie. Now that spring has arrived I jump at every chance.  A lot of the time I walk with Charlie by myself and we explore our apartment complex. When I'm feeling more adventurous Joe and I will take him to the local greenway. I find that walks are great to decompress from the stress of the day. On my walks is where I come up with solutions to problems at work, day dream about the future and plan future blog posts.

One thing that I have been thinking a lot lately is that this is now home. Joe and I are not spontaneous people at all. If we are going to try a new place for dinner or even go see a movie both of us like to have a few days notice. So moving was out of character for us. In less than a month, we both got new jobs and packed up all our things and moved to Cary. It was a crazy whirlwind of quick decisions and choices. Thankfully in less than months we sold our house and are officially residents of Cary.

I think it is finally settled in that we live here now and Wilmington is no longer home. I have caught myself self correcting now when I refer to Wilmington places as "our" store or restaurant. My goal now is to find some place here that feel like "our" spots. Included in that goal is to find a church home. Since marathon training is winding down and I won't be spending Sunday's recovering I am looking forward to trying out local churches. Any tips on how to meet a bunch of new people and find a church to call home would be greatly appreciated!
