The kids and I decided to veture out a bit today and do some exploring. We were looking for a picture for a bathroom, and a few other things. We wrote down some addresses, put them into the GPS, and were on our way. Anyone who knows me well at all knows that traveling into the "unknown" makes me very nervous. I don't like driving in big cities; I don't like driving in unfamiliar territory; I don't like a lot of traffic.
We experienced all of the above today.
I guess part of this move is letting go of the things that hold me back and just "going for it." If I don't, I'll just be stuck in the house all the time and will be unable to take my kids to exciting and educational places (or even to McDonalds!)
Anyway, I am determined to conquer some of my fears. I might as well.
Well, we found the perfect picture for the bathroom, and had a fun lunch at a place called, "Friendly's." It sort of reminds me of our Steak n' Shake back home in Illinois.
One box was unpacked today...one single box. Maybe we'll do a few more tomorrow. Our first guest arrives in about 11 days; that gives us a goal to work towards!!
I feel a little like a tiny fish in a huge pond. I guess that's better than feeling like a huge fish in a tiny pond. The more we meet people and start making connections, the smaller the pond will seem.
Until then, I'll keep "swimming!"
Heather, I am so proud of you! You are growing and learning so much. You were already amazing, but you are going to look back at yourself and say, "wow, I could have never done that before." Don't worry, those connections are just around the corner and like I said before, they will be lucky when they find you! Love and mIss!
ReplyDeleteYAY! So proud of you! Don't worry if you don't venture out to far I will be there in July and I will have you on the top of a tour bus! LOL! Love you!
