settled...finally

We've lived in our little town two and half years. But so often I still feel like a newbie when others rattle off streets and landmarks. Recently a girlfriend needed some directions in town and a place for lunch - suddenly I was a wealth of resources. Overnight, I became a confident resident.

I know all the librarians and the women at my salon. The shop guys at the corner finally know me by my first name. All of my in town trips no longer require a GPS.

I love feeling settled.
