A few things about Texas...

We have officially been here four months. It's definitely different, and seems somewhat temporary right now, but that could just be because, we're renting, we're still new here, or because it's just not what we "know" as home. And while I do miss "home" I've found that it isn't really Georgia that I'm missing. So I've been thinking the last few months about things that I miss, and things that I like about here, and I'm surprised to say I don't mind it so much here in Texas!

Georgia:

1. PUBLIX ( first and foremost- sorry friends and family) I DO love that store! The Kroger here is "really nice" Adam keeps telling me. And I will agree that it is; the health food section is pretty swank, there's a huge variety of everything, you can even grind your own fresh peanut butter. But it's just not Publix.

2. My house. Probably mostly because its ours, everything in it we picked out, and we had put so much into it. Plus the yard was so private and huge compared to yards here. Had we bought a house here first instead of renting I think it would have made it easier... but the we wouldn't have been sure on schools and areas. Oh well.

3. Our friends and family of course! I told Adam just the other day, "Ya know, I think if we had brought our friends and family with us I could get used to this place!"

Now Texas:

1. The sunsets! That's actually what prompted me to write this post. I was on my way home tonight and it was another beautiful sunset. It always is. The sky just seems so much bigger here and its gorgeous! Jackson's soccer park is on the lake so a few nights a week we get to watch it set over the water.

2. The weather. It's always a beautiful day. We don't get much rain (and if you know me, you know I loathe the rain). There always seems to be a breeze. It's like the "second windy city" I love it; I have a ton of wind chimes and they're always ringing.

3. The area/shopping. The area we're in is nice. Really all of the suburban area around Dallas is, I haven't seen an area that I wouldn't live in. Everything is so close, we're only 5 miles to the lake, there are parks everywhere and they are all such nice parks! The shopping is fantastic. Everything is new and nice, and clean. The malls are awesome and the variety of stores is so nice!


Well, that's all I've got for now. Adam is at Cub Scouts with Maddox tonight and I had a few free seconds and those things were on my mind, just thought I'd share! See you next time :)
