Adjusting

When we moved to AR for Jason to be stationed at Little Rock AFB we ended up in a little apartment in North Little Rock. If you have never been to North Little Rock it is pretty big. It has a Walmart, Lowes, Home depot, its own mall, two movie theaters (in the process of building its third) Hobby Lobby, and so on and so on. I moved there in November after our wedding and it was hard. I couldn't drive anywhere because I didn't know where anything was. Then December hit and the Christmas traffic was too much for me! Finally end of January I was driving us to church and I was hit from behind. Crazy right? I came from a small town with one traffic light. I only graduated with about 88 kids. Slowly I am getting better. I can drive around NLR for the most part. The real challenge was after I found a job in NLR and then we moved into a house on base. The base is in a smaller city (still bigger then my home town) but to get to work I drive three lane traffic. I don't like three lane traffic, if I want to the middle lane and the other guy across from me wants the middle lane, I am going to get hit :/ So what do I do? Find a job in a smaller city. I start Monday and I am pretty excited. I am going to miss the friends I made at my old job. They were the first real friends I made without it being friends Jason had made before I moved here, or his friends from base. I will have to keep in touch. That brings up another worry. My neighbor has been an air force wife longer then me and she told me how hard it is moving from base to base, because you make friends and you have to leave them. In fact she is leaving in a little under a year and I am going to miss her! In fact I am pretty close to all my neighbors. I just hope that through phone calls and facebook we don't lose touch. So this is my life right now. One new challenge at a time and slowly making it, but I will get there with the help of my friends, family and most important my husband :D
