30 days or there abouts in the USA

Time to check back into the blog world after a transition time of moving us: family, pets and stuff from on continent to another.

The last two months have been a whirl of packing, flying, landing, semi-unpacking, and culture adjustment. I am slow to say culture shock, as it is more of an easing into new/old environments.

Life around Williamsburg has exploded with new roads and buildings. It is familiar, but at the same time new.

I noticed this yesterday while attending a worship service. Was this guy speaking in such simpler terms and concepts then our pastor in Germany or was it the fact that I did not have to have the words running through my internal translator first, thus eliminating one step along the way. It take much less energy to listen to your mother language.

Writing checks is a renewed item on my list of adjustments. I do find it much easier to keep track of monies with checks.

Drivers license: Somehow my renewal did not make it to our Virginia mailing address while we were abroad. So I am three years overdue, thus I need to take all of the test.
But first I need to prove that I am actually a resident of Virginia....my passport is only good to prove that I am an American citizen. At this moment I am stateless.
That will change this morning..I am off to take the tests...eye, written and driven. WISH ME LUCK!
