Settling In

It has been almost a month since we've arrived in Houston, and we have had a great time moseying around enjoying our vacation. Since we've been here, we have watched the pool get built, helped fix up the yard, we've got a library membership (ok by "we" I mean me), read a lot of books (again, me), gone skeet shooting (which turns out is a lot harder than wii skeet shooting), got our cars inspected, got new drivers licenses, applied for lots of jobs (Mitch), changed our own transmission fluid and done other car maintenance stuff ourselves (by "ourselves" I mean Mitch), had many airsoft wars, and helped cook a lot of dinners! The Davies are definitely getting a taste of what it's like having me cook for them...now they actually have to eat vegetables! Ha! But seriously they have been so hospitable and I have loved hanging out with them and getting to know them better.

Here are a couple of pictures of their new house! They moved out here a few months ago to get a little closer to nature and it is so gorgeous out here. I love it, minus the insects. I can't go outside even in broad daylight without getting assaulted by at least 6 mosquitoes. I have learned to use insect repellent.

Also please don't judge these photos too harshly...they were taken with a phone. We have lost our camera chargers in the move, and the Davies haven't found theirs yet either from their move a few months ago, ha! We are pathetic.

we look really high maintenance with so many cars out front hahaha. and that's minus Mitch's dad's car!

ok you can't really tell but the backyard is an acre. there's more yard off to the sides that weren't included in the photo.

sweet zipline from the tree fort (The Alamo) in the background, site of many epic airsoft battles.

and last but not least, feast your eyes on my incredibly hot husband, who shoots clay pigeons out of the air with ease. (he even can shoot two at a time. I couldn't hit even one. hahaha) also while we're bragging about my husband, he passed his stupid security school practical last week with 249/250 on the human target. boo ya.
