Rock On!

Last Friday was "Rocker Day" at school, and my daughter and I had a lot of fun putting our outfits together. For me, any excuse to wear jeans to work (which I normally do not/cannot do) AND not have to wash/comb/blow dry my hair is a great reason to participate in a dress-up day!

And, it got me thinking about our own little "rock stars" -- our kids -- and how well they have handled this move... which also got me thinking about all of the things we've "rocked" as a family since we got here:

Living without a dryer for 3 months now: ROCK ON!
Finally finding the perfect balance between laundry soap and fabric softener: ROCK ON!
Becoming a master at figuring out exactly how long it will take certain things to dry on the rack: ROCK ON!
(notice how these are all about laundry... very important in our daily life: ROCK ON!)

Driving on the Pest side without getting lost: ROCK ON!
Finding the 'international food aisle' at Tesco: ROCK ON!
Knowing how to ask the butcher for ground turkey: ROCK ON!
Finding a bakery that makes birthday cakes: ROCK ON!
Converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit: ROCK ON!

Only needing to fill up the gas tank once/month: ROCK ON!
Mastering the Metro system (Travis): ROCK ON!
Converting from Forints to Dollars successfully: ROCK ON!
Making friends with the Bank Manager at CIB: ROCK ON!
Finding a hairdresser I like: ROCK ON!

Not having to clean my house: ROCK ON!
Not having to do yard work: ROCK ON!
Finding the store that has peanut butter: ROCK ON!
Assembling IKEA furniture with amazing speed: ROCK ON!

And.....
Making a life change that we feel good about: ROCK ON!
