On a Positive Note

In May there is a fresh produce market on Saturday mornings in downtown Greenville! I am way excited about going to check it out today. Hoping that it will be a shopping experience akin to our weekly market in Billom. I really miss that. I am so looking forward to the produce stands opening up around here too. I get tired of always having to go into a bigger supermarket to buy things- seems like I am always drawn to buy things other than just what we "need" - or I keep thinking, "I bet we are almost out of this or that and then what was supposed to be a 5 minute trip ends up being a 20-30 minute trip. But, wait, I am determined to remain positive. So, here goes:

10 Positive things about living back in the States:
1. Living close to family
2. South Carolina weather rocks! Sunshine most of the year is great!
3. I love my front porch swing!
4. SA is in a wonderful school where they are helping me to instill in her a love for God, His Word, and His world.
5. The language barrier has greatly diminished (although I do still have difficulties at times with "HoneaPAthese" ex. Do y'all understand the expression "Coming up a cloud"?
6. We have Target! And Old Navy!
7. We have Chick Fil A!
8. The Sportsclub has childcare!
9. Cooking in America is easier- recipes in English, ingredients readily found, etc.
10.D gets home around 5:00

There! See, and you all thought I couldn't be so positive!

ok, so the Greenville market doesn't hold a candle to the one in Billom- it's just not the same.

Good for you for exploring and getting out for new adventures! Just remember how much you hated not being able to got to Atac at noon!!! xoxo

Way to be positive, girl!! I heartily echo #2 for us here in FL. It is the best to live in a place where you can take kids outside to play in regular clothes almost every single day of the year!

The 10 things you love are pretty much the 10 things that I desperately miss! Minus the front porch swing.. didn't have one of those. :) Seems like y'all are settling in nicely.. love the kitchen renovations! I can't wait to find our new home in Greenville!
