A New Edition!
I am doing this blog so I can get it all printed in a book at the end of the year. A family scrapbook basically. So on this blog I will be posting things I want in our family scrapbook. And this little cutie is most definitely someone I want to remember.
Isn't he darling? I'm so excited to see him on Saturday.

Hi Ya'll
Texas, Texas, Texas. Where to begin? Let's start with the people.
YES, people have accents. Not all people mind you, but there are sure plenty of them to go around. Some are really thick and I have asked myself a few times, "are they for real or are they trying to be dramatic?" And on occasion I have to take a minute to figure out what they are saying. For example, our neighbor across the street told us his name was "MMMIIIIAAAAAKKk". Once he asked what Mac's name was and when I told him he said, "Ah, Mac, and I'm Miiiaakk. Sounds the same when I say it." Ah, Mac and Mike. Got it.
Speaking of neighbors, we sure have some fantastic ones! The couple next door is at least 75 and both retired. We see them outside a lot and get to chat and catch up on how our town is different than it was in 1964 when his mom moved into the house they currently live in. They are sure a treat. The other day they offered to take us to a local burger joint that they frequent every Saturday night, Nicky D's. We agreed and sure had a great time! It definitely fits in the category of "hole-in-the-wall". It use to be an old gas station and my clothes still smell like grease. Means it was good, right!? Sure was. Here are some pics that I snapped on my way to the bathrooms (outside mind you).
We were SO very lucky to have a place to rent when we arrived. It is a great house and we have enjoyed the backyard and many other things about it. Here it is:
I will be happy to not have a house that is entirely tiled on the inside (except the bedrooms). It sure can get loud in here.
Well, I'll sign off for now but I am sure there will be more to come about Texas.

The Latest
I have a post about our move to Texas but I can't figure out how to get some pictures off my phone so that one will have to wait. But here are a few things we have been up to lately.
Projects like this dresser for Mac's room:

We also go to the park right down the street from our house ALL the time. Some weeks everyday. On Monday we went to Fort Worth Science Museum and it was AMAZING! Coolest museum I have ever been to. It was extremely child friendly, which means it was perfect for me! Mac really enjoyed playing with the monstrous light bright and survived the 4-D movie with dinosaur who shoots spit everywhere when he "AARGGHS" (don't really know how else to explain that so sorry). What a trooper he is.
And so much more! Texas has been really good to us and I have been very fortunate to be able to make friends fast. Seriously saved my life! Thanks to the people of Burleson and Crowley for making life good.
