Night Picture

One night it was beginning to storm and I was trying to get some pictures of lightning. Unfortunately this is all I was able to get off the Point.

One Day at a Time

Hi Everyone,

This is my attempt at letting everyone know what's going on in my life, since I'm now so far away from so many of you.

These past weeks have been full of "moving exercises"-- meaning paperwork. It took me two days, but I got all my car license stuff dealt with, and I'm registered to vote in Missouri to boot. That only all happened after having my car inspected (yikes) and running all over town to get legal waivers and titles and other odds and ends. I had to wait so long for the car license that I went next door and got my drivers license switched too.

The next step was getting my insurance switched over. That proved a little more tricky. In order to do that I had to get my banking all set up, get checks, etc. I needed a check to void. Anyway, I got set up, and thought everything was good to go. Mistake #1: Made assumption. Apparently my checks were never ordered. I went in to see what the deal was and they informed me of this, and kindly ordered checks for me. Still, by the time they're supposed to arrive (not for a week or so more still) it would be too late. So, what do I do, I pondered. Fortunately I was able to have my employer print me a few to use. In the process, however, we learned that the bank could have printed me checks already. Mistake #2: Believe businesses are doing what they can (like the obvious) to help you out.

All in all, it seems that all the legal things have come together well, and I shouldn't have to waste anymore of my time dealing with it.

I praise God for the things He's taught me though this; a continuation of the ongoing lesson in patience, humility, and trust. I'm not self-sufficient but I can't always rely on people.

I love you and miss you all,

Jeni
