Creating my first blog

Just for the purpose of going through the move to NC I have ventured into online blogging. This is the second big transplant of my life, the first one being when I came to this country about 36 years ago to settle in Iowa.
There are some similarities and some differences between these two transplants:
Both times I came with just my husband, and I didn't know anybody else. Consequently, loneliness was a real problem.
The first time I was young, foolish (?) and not quite fluent in English. This time I'm mature (?!), experienced with the American culture - at least I think so - and fluent in English.
The first time I had just 2 suitcases and a few boxes of books. This time we are inundated with stuff, despite giving a lot of it away, and we are paying a moving company thousands of dollars to haul it across country.
The first time I didn't know the Lord, this time I do. And communications are a lot better with my friends back home in Iowa and elsewhere, through e-mail, facebook, telephone etc. Back then the only feasible way was "snail mail." (Imagine!)
