Ok ok ok. I know I should have posted weeks ago,
Paul and I drove 2 days and 930 miles and arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska August 12. We made a few stops along the way, of course we stopped at Buc-ees before we left Texas and we had to stop at Whataburger in Oklahoma City as requested by our Host in Nebraska. Our van was so full of stuff I was afraid we were going to be knocked unconscious by flying debris when i hit the brakes. (but that never happened)
We are in cultural shock, everyone talks to you everywhere you go, walgreens, restaurants, old navy, they just talk to you for no reason, when you use your blinker people let you in into traffic, I do fond myself driving more aggressive than needed here, some habits die hard. The weather is beautiful, it was in the mid 60's for a day or two last week but the evenings and mornings are cool, no mosquitoes but you can hear the din of katydids and crickets when we sit on the porch or in the backyard after dinner.
Since arriving we have gotten settled in the house, my best friend Mary was kind enough to give Paul and I both our own bedrooms, Paul Started , 8th grade and he says he likes it. I have not gotten any calls from his teachers, that is a good sign. I have had one job interview that I am waiting to hear back about, and I have another interview Thursday. both inbound call center jobs with benefits and regular hours.
Our Ward is small but everyone seems nice, Paul fits in with the Young Men quite well, all 8 of them, and every time I see him he has a girl on each side. I have not made any new friends in the ward but I hope that will change. It is an older ward, not alot of small children, I think this group had been together for a long time.
That is all the news for now. I will let you know if I get a job.
ok, I'm following you, lady! Love you, miss you!
