Things I have learned

 Finding doctors/pediatricians in a new town is hard!

Exploring beyond your comfort zone is great fun.

I make wrong turns, even when TomTom is yelling at me to turn the other way.

Finding a church to call home is crucial, getting involved is even more important.

Going to the movies alone because you haven't found a sitter yet isn't as weird as expected. It is a little weird not having someone to keep an eye on my purse when I have to pee an hour and a half in but that's about it.

Shopping for a kitchen table sucks! I'm a cheapskate but I want a well made table.. is that too much to ask?

Never underestimate the power of new fingernail polish :)

Email and Facebook are great, but a handwritten note is better. I've discovered this from moving. I keep pretty note cards and stamps handy and I've written more in the past 6 months than I think I have in my whole life.

Living someplace where domino's delivers to your door is dangerous to your waistline.

 The local grocer carrying gelato is equally as dangerous.

Don't buy dark furniture unless you like to dust.. yes it looks chic and fashionable but it's a pain to keep wiping it down with pledge.

Along those same lines.. white carpet was NOT made for people with kids.

 Write in a journal every day.. morning and night, believe me.. you always have thoughts that are worth writing down.

The jokes on Popsicle sticks are terrible.

Living someplace where they have a festival for every little thing is grand! I'm currently waiting on the South Carolina Cornbread Festival, The Elgin Podunk Festival, and the Sparkelberry Fair (and yes Sparkelberry is all one word for this!)

That's all I have... till next time :)
