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. My husband does his best to keep stress off me, but it's impossible to move across the world and not feel … Continue reading Soaking in Femininity
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 signed for a house today! It's a decent size with a big front porch with an ocean view and a screened in back porch with a mountain view.

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.

We went to church and stayed for lunch with the congregation after the service. After dark, we went out in the yard and played with the … Continue reading Sweet 16
Museum, Glasses, Help
We've been busy today. We met L, our exchange student's, cousins in the city for lunch. Then we went to a science museum. Now we're back at home resting. L is still in the city with her cousins. I've posted 3 Youtube videos. I'm still finding my voice, and I haven't shown my face. But … Continue reading Museum, Glasses, Help
Careers Are Unnecessary
I have never had a career. I was working when I met my husband, but it was just a retail job. It was very easy to walk away from, and as soon as my husband and I were engaged, with his permission I quit. Careers are overrated. Unlike a husband or children, they don't love … Continue reading Careers Are Unnecessary
