Hey everyone, we are officially Texans now, and more importantly no longer Utahns…no offense to those still living there. As Chad would say, “I’d take a bullet for the place, but…” We drove straight through starting Saturday night and arrived at Chads’ Sunday night. It took about 26 hours in all which isn’t so bad. We passed right next to the border of Mexico (at El Paso) and were stopped to make sure we were citizens. That was about the most exciting part of our trip, unless you count the times we watched The Wiggles and VeggieTales to calm Oliver down. They’re not half bad.
Note: El Paso is officially the ugliest city I have ever seen in my life.
Anyway…we found an apartment that is a pretty good deal. It is litteraly right around the corner from Mikes work. When we went in to visit’s Mikes new store we were told by someone to stear clear of the apartments around the store and were pointed to some farther away. So, we went to the apartments that were recommended. After we were told that the smallest one bedroom started at $850 plus all utilities we knew we were in the wrong place. The lady tried to change our minds by telling us about the free maid service once a month and complimentary door step trash pick up. Yea like that's worth an extra $300. So we went back to the apartments around the store and found that they were actually better than what we were used to. People are so funny about their expectations for apartments. Anyway, we’re paying about half as the other place plus we get a washer and dryer. Awesome!
Mikes new store seems good. The store manager is a clone of Karen Davis for those of you who remember her. Everyone seems nice and pretty laid back. The down side to that is the store is pretty disorganized and needs some work. That's where Mike comes in.
So we can’t move in till Tuesday and Mike has now started work so I am left at Chad and Jenn’s by myself, (well with Oliver), but they have cable, which I’m not used to and also internet, which I’m also not used to. So this blog is just more of a way to fill up my time than anything else. Hence, the reason its not very funny or interesting. But what are you gonna do?

Don't forget the decorating essential---the Texas flag. You can probably get one at the local 7-11 or just ask Chad where he got his.
BOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, I am so sorry that you had to be a Utahn for a little while. And I am so glad that you don't have to take a bullet for the place.
