Goodbye Southern California

Well, folks I'm retiring from the life of SoCal. I love all of you that have been with me down here. Special shout outs!

Cody:
Bro, you've helped me so much when in financial trouble. You introduced me to some great music! I look forward to seeing ya soon! I loved sitting at chilis discussing God, Issachar, and life over a tall beer.

Jasen:
You too have been there for me. I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for your help in molding me. You have been such an inspiration to me. I'll be visiting!

Luke:
For challenging me to grow without losing my roots, for without roots, growth is impossible. You are the man! You too have helped me when I'm down! Move with me man, SacState needs you!

Ryan:
You stretch me! From the Yoga breathing before recording to the political discussions, you stretch me to think outside this box I've built.

Amanda:
You have been there along with Jasen. You have opened you doors to me more than once! I thank you. I also want to thank you for making Jasen the second happiest man in the world! (second to me, I got Stace)

Ben and Paula:
Combining cause I don't get to see either of you half as much as I would like to. I miss you both! Come visit! If you don't, I'll see you in heaven!

Mike DeVries: (Can I put this name here or will my blog get deleted?)
You pushed me to the edge and showed me that is where God wants us. I've learned so much from you. I pray for you and your family as you go into this dangerous work of being sent out to a seemingly blind/deaf crowd.

And most of all,

Stacey:
No, you don't live in SoCal, but we met here. You have changed my world. You have shown me what a woman of God is. You have been wrong, but you admit it. You are usually right and you don't flaunt it. You are home for me. I can live nowhere you are not. You are my love. It holds so much more weight when I use that word now. You are love to me. The personification. I cannot live this far from you anymore. I'll be home tonight my love.


The Rest of You:
You have impacted me, but I am pressed for time and am packing my final bit of stuff from my room. Sacramento is where I'm going for now! Then maybe Portland, maybe Seattle, maybe Michigan. Who the hell knows, and who cares? If it's with Stacey, it's home! Love you all!
