Becoming Natives

We are slowly slipping into routines and becoming locals.  Here's what we're learning or doing:

• Homework after dinner will always be poorly executed
• Kids eat free on Monday (and Tuesday) at Cody's
• The weekly library kid program is a must-attend

• Standing next to my husband during worship is wonderful.
• I just got a gas card to a local place that makes it a little cheaper.  (I hadn't pumped gas in 2 years!)
• There are too many gastronomic temptations
• 
• We need to exercise... a lot
• Soccer practice - it's more fun than practice

• I have to consciously remember to say "Excuse Me" when trying to squeeze by people so as not to seem too rude.
• The grocery store trip(s) has become a pleasant part of my week
• Attending a weekly Bible Study that I use to attend - same location with many of the same women - has been a highlight of my week.
• Being around older and vibrant Christians has been a balm to my soul
• Not bundling up in Winter Gear has been a really nice change

It's nice to be back. We miss Vienna.  We miss being home even while we are here at home.  We're so blessed to call two places Home.
