Well it's been fun for us over the past few days. We have been trying to finish up the last few things that make this move final! It seems like we are always finding new things that need to be taken care of. One major one was the car. When we moved, we knew the plates were going to expire during the move but we didnt want to pay a whole year worth of taxes to Nevada and to NC. for one day. So, we decided to wait! When we got here, I could not register the van because it's in Adams name and we didnt have NC licenses. Adam has been working too many hours to get to the DMV, so we have not been able to do it.
We finally got a weird brake with him working nights since that means he was home during the day.. so he went to get his license and was told we needed his SS card. So, back home we went, found it and drove back (with expired tags mind you) get there, no our proof of residence is not good enough, back home we go.. had to wait another day.. go back today Adam takes the test and gets his license... no wrong place for tags, have to go somewhere else! grrrr
But it feels nice not to have to worry about the police again. I still need to get my new license, but that can wait a while.
This afternoon, the girls and I went to go look at a TV I found online for sale. The couple was nice and reminded me of Adams grandparents a bit, we got the tv in the pouring down rain and headed home. All the way home, I thought it was neat that I recognized where I was and even found my way with out the GPS. It was neat to know that I knew where I was. Walking into the house and looking around this evening, it hit me that it feels like home. Its been an adjustment for us all and there have been some tougher days but we are moving in the right direction. Until now its been sureal. I know we are here, but its felt more like a visit than our permanent home. But, here we are nearly unpacked in our new home!

It took us a while to feel that way. After staying with friends so long, it felt like we were just settling into another temporary place. Took me a while to realize this was OUR stuff and we were going to live here a Long while! Someone I talked to tonight said she figures it's about 6 months until you feel really settled in and a part of things. I'm not sure that I'm all the way there yet. I think it takes a couple decent friends for that, so I'll keep trying :)
