I distinctly remember moving back to the States from Korea, and being obsessed with pennies for a while. I just wasn't used to them. They were a novelty. I also remember being shocked by how many flavors of Cheerios there were. It's weird, the things you notice.
Coming back to the States again (this time from Germany), we've noticed different things.
Ruth - everyone passes on the right.
Joe - storm drains are HUGE (like the kind from "It").
Cora - public restroom stalls provide very little privacy.
Joseph - doorknobs are round.
Madelyn - everyone has garages.
Alex - everything looks clearer (that's probably because he just got glasses.
Anyway, things are good. We bought a house, practically sight unseen. It wasn't as scary as you might think. We love our house. So cute.
But we DO have improvement plans ;) Here's a before picture.
That's all you're getting of that for now, sorry. Just a little taste. Come back later for the after picture. Later later. Who knows when. And yes, we're living in a pretty empty house right now. Hopefully our stuff will be here at the end of the month. Fingers crossed!
Nebraska is flat, but pretty, and of course, corn fields everywhere. It's nice.
Neighbourhood is nice. Schools are nice. Ward seems nice. But moving is still not nice. It takes a while for it to actually feel like home. Like you belong. No new friends yet. That takes time....or it may never happen. Every place is different (some places don't have book clubs or sewing groups or someone who needs a walking buddy). People are different every place (some people don't WANT to be in a book club or sewing group or walk). At least we have each other. But we miss everything else we had. Don't worry about me though. I can take up crocheting ;)
Oh, and I got a job. Part time, working as a personal assistant to a friend here. No biggy, but it is my first job in almost 17 years. Contemplating getting my masters degree, but I need to feel settled first, so we shall see.
So, that's a little snapshot of us. Check back later....we have very exciting plans for the long weekend ;)
