The 90 day update - Dubuque Living
What I want to do is paint a short picture of what my first 3 months in Iowa have been like. Where I started and how it's going. Iowa was never a destination I had in mind when I thought about my future but here we are... I might even be getting an Iowa license / plate soon (because insurance). The Beginning - Dubuque was not what I expected (so hilly and squished). It wasn't flat like the rest of the midwest and all I could think was about how sad I was that I wasn't going to be able to ride my bike in the same way I had previously. Trust me, these are like mini-mountains some of the grades on these hills. - The Lord provided early with an apartment (it's doable and a space that's mine. A place I'd want to be long term? No, but it's a start) - The job was a rough start for me. There's always a learning curve with something new, but this was also learning an entire culture that has deep roots. Honestly, I cried every day after work for probably 3 weeks....
