Alive, well, and with relatively few problems, Matt and I got to Houston today. Seeing the skyline for the first time was really exciting. I only got to see it from a distance because we don't live very close to downtown and we just went right to our apartment. So far the feel that I get from this place is good. I like the way the roads feel, how the plants grow, how close we are to everything, the pace, and, mostly, the fact that we live like 5 seconds from PF Chang's.
We are kind of moved in to our apartment, but not really. It's really nice, but it seems so small after having a two bedroom. I have to keep reminding myself that it's only for 6 months and we don't want to pay to air condition anything more than we have to. When we were signing the lease the girl was super nice, but I was SO over it. Matt and I kept looking at each other like, "We know..." Mentally, we're very ready to buy our first house down here. Financially, we need a few months. Wouldn't it be cool if instead of moving all this stuff into this random apartment we were moving into our first house? I know.
We broke half the front bumper off Matt's car taking it off the trailer. I told Matt to just forget it and buy a new car. He told me I was only saying that because I was hot and tired. I said he was probably right so he should take me up on it before I changed my mind.
The cats officially hate us. After shoving sedatives down their throat, forcing them into cages for hours, bouncing them out of their soma vacation on the highway, and then giving them a bath when they finally got to their new home, you really can't blame them. There's as many of them as there are of us, so we think they might be staging a mutiny. Only time, and the litter box, will tell.

i can't believe you are really actually in texas and you are going to stay there. :(
PS- kelly and I are going to start a weekly-ish photoblog and you're invited because i want to see the things that you see. How it works (i didn't know, maybe you do) is we take turns picking a topic like mailboxes, the color purple, joy, change, whatever. Then you have a week to think about that theme and take pictures. On a specific day (say friday) we all post our photo blogs. then we all tell each other how much we like the pictures. Want in?
i just made all the girls at my work watch the I Love The Whole World video. just spreading the love!! :)
