We went to the same church as last week today. The pastor preached boldly from scripture about wives submitting to their husbands and husbands loving their wives sacrificially. It makes me excited to go back. I emailed about getting involved with some volunteering. This weekend was lovely. We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week

Trying to Recover Me
Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at the dog shelter. A dog I fell in love with the first day was adopted the second day, which made me happy. I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
1st Day
Today was my first day volunteering at the animal shelter! I loved it! I played with two dogs, one of whom was named Whimsy and loved to chase the ball. I played with kittens! I returned home early, however, because it poured on me, and I got drenched and uncomfortable. My raincoat is with the … Continue reading 1st Day
Little Updates
I drove by myself yesterday to go to my first appointment with my dr here. It went well, despite the fact it was pouring, and that made me an even bigger nervous wreck. The new medicine this Dr. put me on made me nauseous for a while, but other than that, it was a lovely … Continue reading Little Updates
Soaking in Femininity
Moving across the world is stressful. Missing my daughter, if only until August, is stressful. So is not having a car and so many other things right now. The stress has gotten to me.

New House, New Family Member
Yesterday we moved into our new house! But better yet last night we officially adopted a new friend. Her name is Molly. Right now she's hiding back by the garage door she came in through. I think she really misses her rescuer's home. But her rescuer had something like 11 dogs in her care. Molly … Continue reading New House, New Family Member

We will start clearing out of the hotel this weekend and will completely move in Monday after the rental furniture arrives that will tie us over … Continue reading House
L’s Last Day
The movers come to start packing our house tomorrow, so L's last day with us is today. Her coordinator will be picking her up today. Having an exchange student has been a wonderful cultural experience, and L has become family to us. We wanted to take her out for a nice lunch, but the car … Continue reading L’s Last Day
Busy Day
I got up at 5 to drive to another city to drop the car off for shipping. It didn't take that long to get there, but driving on the highway makes me nervous, and if I'd left at the appropriate time, I would have hit traffic. So I left while it was dark. Since I … Continue reading Busy Day
Wonderful Weekend
My Mother's Day weekend has been a joy! Yesterday, my husband C took us all to a fun event in the city. Then we grabbed lunch and dessert at The Cheesecake Factory. Today I woke up to a wonderful gift, we watched church, and then we got pizza for lunch. After that, we tie dyed … Continue reading Wonderful Weekend
