Three weeks and one day.. and it has reached 100+ everyday! I would still prefer this heat over the -35 of last years winter in Minnesota..but I am getting sick of it being so hot constantly. They tell me that this is the worst it's been EVER.."we set two new records" they say..the earliest it's been this hot for this long and the dryest it's been since like forever. But I guess I would rather be broken in right away..or would i???!! It's nice, beautiful, sunny everyday but we are trying to live in our motor home to save money to build and it gets cramped when you don't really want to go outside cause it's too dang hot. Right now I am sitting here listening to Zac play his playstation..some shoot 'em up war game that is wearing on me FAST! and he has three friends due to fly in to Texas at the end of this month for 12 days! How will I survive?.. I just will, i guess.
So what have we been up to..well, going to the pool alot, i've been working out at the club house almost everyday too =) Other than that, it seems like we really don't do much at all during the week. I find myself wishing the days away actually. We do have some great "neighbors" that we sit out and chat with and have diner with alot, they are staying in their motorhome at Heaths while they build too. They have a 20 year old son that is pretty awesome that Zac hangs with alot, he is teaching him how to play guitar. The weekends are better mostly, This last weekend was a lot of fun, Heaths parents live on the lake and they have a huge party every 4th of July. Lots of fireworks, food, people, FUN! Friday was the party, Met lotsa new people, had lotsa fun. We were invited back on Saturday to grill and take out Travis Pastrana's boat to watch the fireworks..we swam and ate and swam some more but weren't able to get Travis' boat so we took a few other boats and watched the fireworks,very cool..they were EVERY WHERE! SOOO many boats too. Our kids don't usually get to see fireworks because we go camping over the 4th. Madi was scared the first night cause Heath was lighting them and she was afraid he would get hurt, but the second night she and Jase LOVED them. We went in Heaths parents boat with his sister Heather..she's a model, beautiful! Headed home after the fireworks, we were all tired from the night before.
Sunday's we have been going to the "Cowboy Church", it's in a pole barn with out air conditioning, they have a breakfast buffet every Sunday morning. The bathrooms are out houses, you can bring your dog. The band is a country western band, the pastor tells you how it is, he says that if he offends you, your welcome to get up and leave. They have a HUGE ceiling fan, and I mean HUGE! It's gotta have a wing span of like 40 feet! ..they say everything is big in Texas..well they are right! (Including the BUGS!!) I'm having a hard time "adjusting" to the insects here.. I get the willies just thinking about them. You have to shake out your shoes before you put them on in case there might be a centipede or scorpions! Not to mention weird looking spiders like I have never seen before, beetles that are the size of a large June bug, weird lookin snakes that you worry if they are poisonous or not and the damn red ants that bite and it hurts! I am TRYING to adjust, I won't let the bugs scare me away, Texas is amazing, it really is. I have only really seen one scorpion, no centipedes and one snake(at the lake) plus Everyone gets there homes sprayed every three months..someday I will have a house to spray and then i'll be fine! Please come visit, you'll see for yourselves how amazing it is here =)
