I'm gonna roll home...

Chick-fil-A, slurpies, Auntie Anne's pretzels, ice cream, etc....a.k.a. my diet since I've been home. It's just too bad that all of the food I miss the most is the kind that clogs your arteries. As I drive through town, I just keep thinking "Ooohhhh! We need to stop and grab that!" If I keep this up, my company might have to pay for an extra seat on the airplane...just to fit me in. I wish I didn't have such an excuse that I use to justify these eating habits. Maybe then, I would be able to have a little bit more control.

"But eating ice-cream straight out of the tub is such a memory!"

"It's a hot day...we just HAVE to stop and get a slurpie and pretzel!"

"I know I just ate, but we are passing a Chick-fil-A...I really miss the fries!"

I know it is only my third day in America, but I am going to need to pace myself with all of these dearly missed foods. If not, I will surely be rolling home.

Officially Mrs. Evans!

When you get married and move your life half-way around the world within the span of a week's time, there are many details that are seemingly forgotten...at least for a little while. It's all about priority. We asked ourselves: "Do we have our luggage? Do we have our plane tickets & passports? Do we have each other?" If yes to all four, then everything else could be put on pause. It's to bad that the pause of officially changing my name to "Lauren Evans" would be a good 24 months long.

Now back in America and after a brief trip to the Social Security office, I am officially Lauren Renee Evans! Now all I have is my passport, driver's license, and credit cards to go.
