Texas sized adventure!

We are officially moved in! I unpacked the last box and hung up the last picture! Here are some pics of our new place...

We are liking it here so far! We like living a the hotel because it gives us access to a swimming pool, tennis courts, a gym, and good food. Paul is enjoying his new job. Everyone has been nice and welcoming at the hotel and at our church. We are excited to find some good friends.

The temperature sits around the 70's. It is SO nice. There are lots and lots of palm trees! We went and explored the beach at South Padre. It was awesome! We are very excited to spend a lot of summer day there.
The shopping is also awesome!!!! They have just about every store ever here.

Hopefully things will continue to go well. So far so good. We like the area so far and are excited to get to know it better and like it even more. We are excited to visit some of the "close-by" cities like Dallas, San Antonio, New Orleans, etc.

Come and visit anytime! We will continue to keep you updated!

"Roadtrip! Let's all go!" -Legally Blonde

lets start at the beginning...

We left Logan VERY early in the morning on February 10th. We stopped in Cheyenne, Wyoming and saw the worlds largest cowboy boot! (at least the biggest that I have ever seen).

Our first night we stayed in Denver. we drove through the city the next morning and took some fun pictures. We found the worlds largest blue bear!

The second day we arrived in Texas! there was snow on the ground. We thought we were getting away from the snow but apparently not yet.

We stayed the night in Lubbock, Texas the second night. There wasn't much to do in Lubbock but we did find the world largest heart in honor of Valentines Day!

Our third day on the road we had a short drive to San Antonio. We loved it there! The freeways are really high and scary. There is one that is REALLY high and tilted so you felt like you are going to go over the edge. We spent the day enjoying the city. We went to a Mexican restaurant that was decorated really crazy! All their ceilings are decorated like this. Then we walked around the city. We saw the Alamo and then went to the river walk. The river walk is where the river runs through the city and you can walk along it; there are lots of shops and cafes along the way and you can get a boat ride down the river; like in Italy...kind of! haha. It was really pretty.

The next day we drove the four hours to Weslaco, Texas! That's it! 1,900 miles/32 hours of driving to our news home down south!
