Updates
Hellooo!
I haven't found a good, consistent time to write and update this blog. I am back to daytime work which means evenings are the only time I can post. It has not been happening because of... TV.=) I've been watching Love It Or List It, Flip or Flop and Property Brothers on HGTV, Treehouse Masters on Animal Planet, Criminal Minds. They show one episode after another and before I know it, it's late.:S But I'm starting to get my act together.
Some updates.
We're still in the corporate apartment. Even though we have found a rental unit (second one because there were "creature" issues with the first unit we chose), the furniture will be delivered only on Friday so we have to wait a few more days before we can finally move. I anticipate a very busy weekend ahead. We are ready for you, Ikea!
We're also still renting a car and might need to extend it until mid-July. There's a lot of dependency to buying a car here. We need GA driver's license (Rich's test scheduled for July 11), which required a permanent address (so we had to find an apartment first), which required social security registration. We haven't decided if we're buying a new or used car. Frankly these kinds of decisions are stressful for me so it's a good thing Rich is really into the process. I leave it up to him.=)
Neil is taking swimming lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also enrolled him to summer camp junior sports 2 weeks ago, which was for the whole day. I did not see any of his camp activities but Rich took some pictures.
This week, Rich is taking care of enrollment prerequisites. Yesterday they went to a clinic for vision and hearing test, and validation of immunization records. Today they went to the international center for English proficiency test. He will be admitted to Grade 1 in August.
I celebrated my birthday last week! I went to work, had lunch with Rich and Neil at home, then dinner with Sally and Anne (who dropped by my cube in the morning). I was also greeted by my colleagues in the office, and more greetings from family and friends online. It was a good day.
This is a year of transition for our family. We're not fully settled yet but doing what needs to be done one day at a time.
