Things we learned in Texas - Week 1




Texas has absolutely beautiful sunsets - unfortunately I have been driving everytime I have seen one, so alas, no photo


You can cheer for both TCU and BYU, we just recommend don't do it in public - wear a hoodie or something.



We have absolutely too much crap!



The girls look so cute in their school uniforms! Haven't gotten a picture yet of Jake, but he does look very handsome!




Everyone looks cute in a 10 gallon hat!



This is the oldest gas pump I have seen in a very long time - the kids called it WAL-E


On the way to the Dallas Temple, there is a McDonald's shaped like a Happy Meal.

The support system of the church makes life so much easier. The kids all have friends and are busier than in Utah. We have fantastic neighbors and a fantastic ward. Jake even likes early morning seminary.

We have been very blessed for such a smooth transition, just wishing the unpacking was as smooth.

LOVE all the pictures! The one of the girls in their uniforms is darling (frame it). Can't wait for the unpacking to be done, so you can take us on a tour.

p.s. it is snowing here this morning - I need to get outta here!

I am so glad things are going well for you and your family!!! I love the slurpee cups, way cooler than they are here (or maybe I just have not bought one in a long time!!!)

Glad to see you made it to IKEA, now try out the other organizing store (I already forgot the name!!!)

And you will LOVE school uniforms, it makes life so much easier!!!
