Two Are Better Than One
When people move to another place, it can be a stressful time, even if they move within the same country. I have moved several times in my life, but the last time was 9 years ago when I moved to Iowa City. I felt lonely, I didn’t know my way around, and I didn’t know important information like what doctors my children should go to. The solution to my problem was to make friends with people who had lived in Iowa City for a long time. First, my friends encouraged me when I felt lonely and missed my former home. Second, my friends helped me with directions around town so I didn’t get lost. Finally, my friends were a wealth of information, offering suggestions for doctors, shopping, and entertainment. In conclusion, my advice to people who move to Iowa City is to get involved in an organization or club so they can make new friends.

I love the title, "Two are better than one".
Thank you for considering of me, Becky :)
* Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up...Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken(Ecclesiastes4:9-12)
This is truth!!
Making a good friend is better than getting other things. Thank you for your advice.^^
I think that it is more stressful when you are mother because you don't know where you should go if you have a medical emergency.... I think that in the United States is like in Venezuela, the neighbor help each others.... Also, in this kind of situation you realize how important are the neighbors..... and how important is that you help them....
I forgot to say you.... the shirts in your's family portrait in the first Blog are pretty nice and original!!!! you all look very cute with those shirt.... look like a team!!!!
When I heard about your weekend plans that you would clean windows or doors of your house with your daughters, I had happy feeling even thought it would be chores..
