the boxes are unpacked...now what?

today was my last day of my "boxes" class.  this is class that is based of the book After the Boxes are Unpacked:  Moving On After Moving In by Susan Miller.  this is a class designed specifically for women who are new to the Edmond area.  i highly recommend something like this for anyone going through a similar time of transition.

this class has been such a blessing in the following ways:

• it has helped me to meet some new ladies who are in a similar situation
• it has helped me learn more about the town that i am living in
• it has helped me to grow in my confidence of attending classes or going places that are unfamiliar to me and where i don't (at first) know anyone
• it has helped me to venture out to places that i would not have otherwise heard about
• it has provided me a "mommy" time with childcare

i'm so thankful that a church in our area offered this class.  it has been a blessing to me, helped me make a new friend or two, and helped me more quickly adapt to the city of edmond.  

i'm a little closer to feeling more at home here.  next week i start a "long term sub" position at a mother's day out here in edmond in a 3 year old class.  i'm excited about this opportunity and praying that it will hopefully lead to a more permanent position in the future.
