We are starting to really like Houston. There are some things to get used to, the water, the traffic, and of course the summer we havn't experienced. But right now the weather is beautiful. The trees are everywhere. The people are SO nice and everyone goes to church. Ben loves his job and the people there. His work even sent me a welcome packet with a voucher for dinner with another couple in the company.
Having one car is an adjustment that we are still working out until we buy a house. But there is a moms group that I go to and I love it. The last one was at the mall and the malls here are crazy. There was an ice rink inside it and the playground was like a Dr. Seuss land.
Traffic is everywhere and awful, but we are learning how to avoid it. Houses appear to be cheaper until they tell you about property taxes. But I still love the houses here.
Most of all, we are grateful for each other.
I'm excited for our experiences together!
Char,
ReplyDeleteI just spent the last 30 minutes reading you blog!! I love every detail and now I just want to talk to you. It's prime dinner time in Houston or I'd just call you. Your kids are adorable! You and Ben are an inspiration to me. I'm so glad that you are doing well in Houston. There's a twinge in my heart that misses Texas a lot more knowing that you are there and now we're not. (And it's freezing outside and it's pitch black @4:10 with snow falling as I type.) I can't believe the way the Lord has guided your last few months of life. Miss you! Love you!
