First week in TEXAS

It’s true! We are now living in the lone-start state! Good old' Texas. So far it has been alright we have had some problem with the housing, but there is nothing we can do about it. So we wait! The first night for sure was the worst! We were stay in a place called the value place (just the name sounds sketchy this is like the basic of the basic for an extended stay hotel. Jed and I got to sleep on a full size bed that was fun... there is a kitchen, but no dishes you have to buy them. Everything is an add on. I’m pretty sure that they would charge toy for hot water if they could. It’s so nasty and I was so sad that they asked us to stay there. thank goodness we got out of there the next night into a nicer hotel, I'm sad to say that we won’t be in our apartment for a couple more days #sigh I can’t wait till we get in them!

Random Temple. But good to know there is a temple on the boarder of Utah and Colorado 

no offence new mexico but I'm pretty sure that everyone is drunk. because they had so many unnecessary signs! like 4 signs saying that you are going the wrong way! Some of the signs told you when you can and cant pass, but they also had the lines on the road. they had signs that told you that you were going to be going over a hill. yes very random.

Our one night in this nasty hotel. Side not you had to fill out a servery and if you didn't they charged you 45 bucks! They didn't get very good reviews from us. 

Jed’s First day on the job! P1 baby!

Our drive down to Lubbock Texas was good Jed might have gotten a ticket... but the cop was very nice and let us off with only going 4 over. We got down here really late and wanted to go to sleep. the next day we went and saw the which was so much better than last year... last year the office was in Jed and i's room. This year it is an actual building so that is a major plus! It was really messy but we got it cleaned up and organized! Jed has been working a lot been installing and trying to get the office set up with training his new guys he is a hard worker with school and work he stays pretty busy... me on the other hand... not so much. I try to find things to do that will keep me busy. But for the most part I just work out, cook, and go shopping. It’s really lazy. Which is kind of nice but I hope that I can find a hobby or something to keep me busy. 

I plan on working out as much as I can. Jed and I are going to Cancun at the end of the summer so I want to look really good or that! I also have my mom’s quilts that I need to get done. With a lot of my mom’s old clothes we cut them up so that we can make them into a quilt for Alex Addie and me. I’m really excited to get those done one day! 

Getting ready for Cancun!

I Love how there is a Texas Roadhouse in Logan and a Logan's Roadhouse in Texas. Texas also has so many stake houses. more than usual.

Texas has Really bad dust storm! You fill really dirty after you go outside

Love shopping! I have never had time to really look threw everything at Forever 21 but since I had all day I looked threw everything! I found some cute things and whatever the jean jumpsuit is! I didn't buy anything but I'm walking distance from the mall! :) 

There is hot dog on a stick and than Corn dog heaven! It must be a set up!

Nice Try Texas but you wont trick me with this painted green grass! 

This has been my favorite part of taxes! That we have a temple within 5 mins of our house! I'm so grateful that we were blessed to get sent to a place with a temple so close! We really love going to the temple we try to do it once a month. In the same parking lot is a church that we ended up going to on Sunday there was confusion about what time church was at and at what ward. So we ended up going to a singles ward! Which was such an amazing experience we walked in late because we though church started at 2 but it started at one. We sat down and listed to the last couple mins of the person talking.

Jed and I were confused on if this was the first or the last call of church so we  were trying to look it up on our phones and within seconds we had someone coming up to us to ask if we were new? Or investigating? Or just visiting. We told them we were married and that we are from Utah and they were so excited to see us! I had so many people come up to me and introduce them self's I was shocked on how welcoming the people were. They made me fill so welcome that I wanted to go back to the singles ward! They were so nice and wanted to sit next to me and talk to me! I was so happy! Our ward back home has been a struggle for me. Going has been hard because I have had very few people (about 6) come up and talk to Jed or I to welcome us to the ward when we have been in our ward for about 7 months. Going to this little singles ward in Lubbock Texas makes me want to reach out to the new people that will one day be coming in to a ward that Jed and I are already in. It makes we want to be more welcome so that people fell the same way that I felt. 

I'm so grateful that we had this chance to go to this ward! I can’t wait to go to church next week to an actual family ward!
