So an apartment in San Francisco fell into our laps and spur of the moment, we decided to take it!
Dan has always wanted to move to the City, but I felt more comfortable in Oakland with a little more space and little more sun. So when we were having a picnic in Dolores Park on Labor Day weekend and my friends started to try and convince us to move across the Bay, I was hesitant. But for some odd reason, I was also curious, especially when my friend told me an apartment was opening up right next to them in the Mission. I found myself asking where the nearest grocery stores was, is there a network chiropractor in the neighborhood, etc.
My friends called up their neighbor who was moving and we saw the place that night. It was cute. . . wood floors, big windows, a nice box shape instead of the usual long and narrow apartments you usually find in San Francisco.
I woke up the next day still desiring to consider the move, which surprised both Dan and me to no end. I suspected I was being prepared for a move this past year, but never suspected the City! My fear was that the City would be too stressful, too cold, too crowded for me, but for some divine reason, now I wasn't too concerned.
We saw the apartment one more time and signed the lease the next week! I was traveling to Michigan for my friends wedding, and Dan and his friends moved all of our things while I was gone! Good deal for me!!
I came back from Michigan to a new apartment in a new city, and lo and behold I am adjusting fine. I love our place, I love our neighborhood. I love walking everywhere and having everything close by. I love living next to my good friends. Dan is thrilled. He doesn't have to commute across the Bay anymore. His whole life is here in the City . . . his work, his friends, music venues. He is in his glory, and surprisingly, I am too.
An interesting twist to this insane year. I definitely would not have been open to this if not for all the internal changes I am going through.
When things happen so unexpectedly yet fall into place so effortlessly, I know it's the work of the Spirit.
Oh-Other proof this is where we're supposed to be: See April 2nd post.
