These are just a few things I thought I would share with you after going to a couple “Unpacking your Boxes” classes at Memorial Road Church of Church these past couple weeks. Let me know if you would like to go to the last two classes or want more information. Email me at myerst@kw.com.

• Always make the move an adventure – think of it as a new opportunity and somewhere adventurous to start this new chapter in your life
• There will be melt downs, no matter what, it takes time to get use to a totally different city and home
• Stay positive because the positive and negative things you say to your kids and friends will rub off on them. Plus, who wants to be around a person who is negative all of the time if the only things you talk about are negative. You need your old and new friends in this phase of your life.
• Embrace the beauty of the Edmond/Oklahoma City area if this is your home now. Find different, exciting places to eat and go for entertainment. (look for a blog post coming soon on fun places to visit in OKC )
• Turn to God, a friend or church family for support. They will help lead you in the right direction.

Hope these tips are helpful! I sure thought they were good.

Last week I had the opportunity to try REAL sushi for the first time. Yes, I have eaten a Spicy Cowboy roll, fried shrimp, before, but that is not true sushi after what I ate with some clients last week. I was so excited when they asked me to go eat lunch with them and then I got so nervous when they said “Lets go to Sushi Neko”. I said “OK” with no hesitation, but when I got off of the phone I panicked. haha  Anyways, I did not have long before I left the office and headed to meet them.  I got there and just told them flat out “I have no clue what to order or how to use chop sticks!” So, they ordered for the table and the experience began. First came the Edamame and it was yummy. Then came the raw tuna and salmon. I was scared just looking at it. But I tried both of them and they were good, but not my favorite and a little rubbery on top of that. I probably will not order that on my own next time, but it was not bad at all. You should try it if you have not before. It will always be a good memory! Lastly, the waiter brought out sushi filled with eel, calamari, shrimp, rice, seaweed and who knows what else. I really liked the roll called a Captain Crunch with eel in it. And the spicy calamari one was very tasty, too. Overall, I had a blast eating something new! If you decide to try sushi and you have not ever eaten it before, I recommend you take a sushi expert/friend with you. Then, have them order for you!
