A beautiful day in Omaha

I have been here for a month and am really getting my barrings about myself now. The first day I got here I settled into my place and have been working on finding my way around since then. The first 3 days of work I took different ways each day not on purpose, but because I did or didn't make the turn where I was supposed to. The first time I had to come home from the airport, I ended up in Iowa, no worries, I did of course find my way home, eventually.

Since then I have been more successful in finding my way around town. Somewhat because I am not afraid of getting lost, which is good because I do it often, but more because I enjoy finding new things. Today I left at 9AM to run an errand and didn't get home until 3:30 in the afternoon. I spent the day meandering around town.

I decided if we are going to live in Nebraska then the girls should have something with Nebraska on it. Of course the place to go is the Huskers store. Let me say I haven't seen that much red in one place EVER!!

I tried to find something for the girls that was red, but I couldn't bring myself to buy it, not yet at least.
So I found these cute shirts instead for them, I am sure they will love them, and I will work into red, maybe!!
I really like it how green it is here. Here is the view out the back of my apartment.

What a view, there are so many trees and again so much green...

Every day is a new adventure. Tomorrow I will see about getting to church. I am hoping for the best.

Another blog??

Chris decided that he wanted to start a new blog for the time he was gone. So here is the link to the Chris Blog. He thought it would be fun to document the time while I am here and he is there. He is really a trooper with the girls while I am here. It won't be for long 3 months at the most. I will of course be making lots of trips home and seeing them often!

Home sweet temp home

I haven't been good about writing which is sad given that I don't have kids, a husband or dog to take care of. Since I moved here I have been really busy getting to know everyone that I will work with and learn the area.

My little apartment is smaller than I am used to, but I am getting used to it. I thought my kids would like to see some pictures of where Mom is living, so here are some pictures, of course I don't think I need to describe them, so you can just look and enjoy...
