New

One month into the new year, and every day I have done something new. This is a year of new.

• Located and visited an excellent Aldi in my new nearest-big-town. Highlight of my month.
• Ate at a local cafe that seems to be the place where everybody knows everybody in my new little town.
• Visited two churches I had never been to before.
• Started a new workout plan. It's a killer.
• The boys ate at a buffet for the first time. Highlight of their month.
• Got new shoes to run on my new road.
• Visited a nature center and bought bird field guides for my new state.
• Got a new iPhone so I could have more reliable internet in my new house.
• Made several new friends, many of which are homeschoolers.
• Went on a date with The Husband while the kids stayed with a new babysitter.
• Started a new spelling program (Spelling Power. Love it.) in a new semester of 1st grade.
• Got new library cards.
• Made appointments with a new doctor and a new orthodontist.

"New" will probably be my theme for the rest of this year, and "new" usually is not my forte. However, I have actually enjoyed most of these new experiences so far. His grace is sufficient.

Second month of my "new year," here I come!
