Our firsts week as Texans

Sunday June 21st..HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
We have officially been here for a week today. The hardest part for me so far was sending my Uncle off, back to Minnesota =( We brought him to the airport Early Monday morning..and by early I mean I had to get up at 4:00 AM! Yickes! But I wouldn't have missed seeing him off..very hard for me. I am soo glad he was able to be here with us, it meant sooo much to me! I wish I could just have one of my friends/family here with me at all times!
This week has consisted of a heck of alot of swimming..every day as a matter of fact. A little exploring and a lot of meeting new people. Although On Tuesday I ithink my husband was trying to kill us all! We rented a storage spot and unloaded the entire Uhaul and then the 24 foot trailer into it..and did I mention it was a HUNDRED degrees! Good greif it was hot! I don't think I have sweat that much in my entire life all combined! Sucked! But then we went up to the pool..aahhh... OK, i'm over it=) Darren started working already on Thursday so the kids and I explored and swam. We found out that We are 20 minutes from Target, Walmart, Chillis, Sonic, Olive Garden, MAURICES!! ..thank you Jesus! Walgreens, Lowes,Great Clips, SOO many places it's great! But yet we are out in the country. I absolutely LOVE it here! =) I miss all of my friends and family and can't wait till you all come and see our new paradise. But I know it is going to work out for us here, Zac met some people around his age at the pool and hung out with them lastnight..he even said he can't wait to start school! That makes me so happy, he was the one I was worried most about..it is so important to me that he liked it here and now that he does a huge weight is lifted! We did have to make our first laundry mat trip..it was ok untill we had to dry our clothes..remember how I said it's been HOT here..well it was hotter in the laundry matt than it was outside! YUCK! ..I'll have my own again someday..
I'll tell you about our day today then I am going to bed... We got up and went to church..not just any old church but "Cowboy Church" It was very neat, they have a breakfast buffett from 9:45-10:15 then church starts at 10:30. It has a band, but not the kind we are used to at New Hope in Minnesota, it's a country band which was pretty neat. During the service the pastor told a Ole and Lena from MINNESOTA joke! I think Darren and I shrank in our chairs! ..lol After church we went to the dollar store right up the road and then to the grocery store to get stuff to make a sald for the diner party/BBQ we were invited to at the lake. Came "home" and made the sald, got our suits and sunscreen on and headed over. Had a GREAT time, swam, rode jet skis, ate and swam some more before we finaly headed home. Had a great day! It's almost midnight..time for bed. I'll post pictures on my Facebook as soon as I can. Night night ya'll!
