"We Have No More Friends"

This line was uttered by Lolli (as you will quickly realize, the more verbose and communicative of the two kids) this morning.

"Do you think we should make some new friends?" I had asked.

"Well, we don't know who our new friends are. No more friends. No more Green House."

True. Not so true. And true.

Today marks the end of Air Boss' first week back to work (at home) and the close of our second week here in the LA area. The boxes are mostly unpacked with about 10-15 remaining (no room to put the box contents but not "un-useful" enough to shove in the garage) and we even have some of our artwork hanging up on the walls. We've just opened up a new bank account but have yet to swap the car plates to CA.

With the "to do" list slowly getting shorter and shorter, I find that there is more time to remember the things I miss. And that's when it gets harder.

Air Boss is sick with a fever and chills. We're hoping it's not the flu. We don't even have doctors here to call up or a health clinic that I know that accepts our type of health insurance. Yes, we'll eventually figure this all out.

I am reminded though of how gracious God was to our family as we traveled to LA. Not one of us got sick and we were able to travel without the worries of an illness. Air Boss has been truly the pillar of this family as we've traveled and made the transition our new home. Now it's my turn to take care of him and I hope and pray that it's nothing serious.

In the meantime, we'll have to figure out how to meet people and "find new friends" as Lolli puts it. I'll keep you posted!
