What's next...

In approximately one month and 8 days, I will be making a major life change. I'm not getting married, not having a baby, not starting a new job (well I guess I kinda am), I'm not finishing school... so just what am I doing?

I will be moving! But wait... before you make any assumtions about this NOT being a major life change... let me explain.

I will not just be moving to another town... or another state for that matter. NO! I'm moving to another COUNTRY!

Now, talk about a major life change. Really now, think about it. There is a lot of stress involved in just moving to another town. You gotta find a new job, change your address, phone number and maybe even your drivers license and your vehicle license plates. You have to find a new neighborhood to live in, a new grocery store to go to, and a new church community to get involved in. If you have kids, you gotta find a new school too. Not to mention just finding new friends to hang out with... people you get along with well and can invite over to your house for dinner and a movie or just to hang out.

Think about all that... and now add just a little more on the plate. Say now that this new community has a whole different style of dress and your wardrobe just isn't going to cut it. And the food they eat is... well... it's not what you're used to and they don't have the quick microwave dishes that you used to rely on in a pinch. There are also all these unexpected rules and ways of doing things that are just different. For example... they have a different pair of shoes that they only wear in the house... they sit on the floor when they eat... the women are not supposed to show their ankles... and they don't eat with their left hands (just to name a few). Now lets just put some icing on that very large piece of cake. How much more stress do you think it will add to the situation when you discover that most of the poeple in this town that you are moving to... do NOT speak english?

So... yeah... I am making a major life change. If you haven't already... pray for me.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Stay tuned...

Yes... I am still using this site

Okay... so I won't waste my time appologizing for how poorly I've kept up this site. You already know if you've visited it at all. I am going to make a change though... turn over a new leaf! I realize that this is a great way for you all to check out what I'm doing and be kept up to date... but it will take me keeping up my part of posting regularly so that you can be informed.

Thanks for hangin in there with me. Really...I'm going to use this more often now.

Now I'm going to try to post some pictures. I just got a new computer... a MAC (I love it!)... and before, with my PC, I was having trouble posting pictures. So, I'm going to try it again. Wish me luck... if this works well.. that means more pictures from me in the future... I know how enjoyable pictures can be. So here goes.
