When I moved to Richmond, I moved into an Intentional Community through Ginter Park Baptist Church. It's called the Farley House. A family (the Farley's) owned it years and years ago. Farley families are still members of GPBC today. It's really lovely.
I moved in a month ago today. I moved in on that Friday. I had this whole house to myself Friday night and most of the day Saturday (Thanks to Kristen for keeping me company!)
One roommate, Khan, moved in Saturday night. He's from Burma and is entering his third year at BTSR.
I went to Ginter Park Sunday morning, met several folks from the church and enjoyed much conversation with the Pastor (who, by the way, I knew before moving to RVA. She used to be in Charlotte). Drew came home that afternoon with Nala (his sweet pup). Caitlin was finishing up her Internship and was in and out for a bit before heading back to Spartanburg (yep, Spartanburg) to see family.
This past weekend was the first time we (the whole house) has been together since the beginning of August. What an awesome weekend it is. It involved boat rides, naps, reading, more naps, good food (ice cream included), and really good discussion.
I am so happy to be here- with this community and with these people.
Happy one month anniversary to me!
First boat ride to dinner on the first night-
