    Wow…what did we just do? We moved! Regardless of the reason, we MOVED TO A NEW STATE!   Now what? I’ve been told that it takes 6 months for you to feel like you are BEGINNING to be a part of a new community. You’re beginning to learn the way to the stores, AND you found your favorite stores too!   Revelation #1: DO NOT run errands during peak traffic times! Revelation #2: DO NOT make assumptions about the weather! Revelation #3: When you are planting your NEW yard…WAIT a minute until you experience sun and heat…or you will plant ALL THE WRONG things in your garden …AND in the wrong places! Revelation #4: Psyche yourself up before you feel compelled to go get your shiny new South Carolina Drivers License AND Make sure you research what you will need WELL IN ADVANCE of your appointment! (http://www.scdmvonline.com/Driver-Services/Drivers-License) The good news is the folks are pleasant, and the office is well run…but it’s not for the faint of heart. And lastly, Revelation #5: …WAIT until you have a FULL DAY to have your cell phone changed over …PLUS set up an appointment, don’t just walk in. Moving to a new state is a REALLY BIG DEAL …you know hardly anyone at all.   You know ZERO home subcontractors and have to reach out to your neighborhood social media page to ask EVERY question. YOU know nothing!!!   You stalk and immediately join the Next Door Neighbor app (https://help.nextdoor.com/s/article/How-to-join-Nextdoor?language=en_US) hoping to find tidbits that will help you in your daily life! Attorney? Who Does Mulch? I need a DENTIST!  Have faith…there is hope and a rainbow right around the corner.  I have (and AM) there and doing that…I’ll do the work for you and give you my tidbits along the way ~  Need someone to chat with…I’ll be there in a flash and with bells on and a big smile!Building relationships…friends in a new area or state… that’s what it’s all about!
