I experienced my first THANK GOD I AM BACK IN THE STATES moment this afternoon. (shortly there after though I had a “god I miss her” moment too) ug change is never easy… anyway lets try and stay positive shall we! On to the good news…

I was on my way to the DMV to register my car (my baby thats been sitting in my parents driveway for the last 6 months) and half way there I realized I had completely forgotten my proof of insurance. Instead of having to turn around and drive all the way home I pulled into the FedEx Kinkos that was on the way and had my insurance company fax me a copy. I got it within moments and was able to get to the DMV with a 5… maybe 10 minute delay. If had turned around it would have easily cost me 20 minutes… Its not really even that big of a deal, but man it felt good to be back in a place where modern conveniences are all around us.

I see now that I took so much for granted when it came to the little things before I left for the Virgin Islands. Its not that I was just over looking them, it was more that I had always had them around and didn’t know to give them their proper value. Now that I am back I’m going to try and appreciate these conveniences more.
