I live in the desert

I actually live in TX now. Weird. So far things are going really well. The house is great and thankfully stays nice and cool during these triple digit days and not much cooler nights. I'm all unpacked and am now just waiting for some additional furniture and my husband to be delivered. I feel pretty comfortable here and have spent some of my time with friends so I have not been lonely. Packing, organizing and cleaning have been keeping me busy. It's nice to have a lot of space, and hopefully Will is ok with most of the decorating being done by me. He said as long as it's not all pink and flowery he is ok with it, so I think I'll be fine.

My dad drove down here with me in a truck. I only drove a total of a half hour due to my awful cough and lack of truck driving skills. Somehow we managed to avoid rush hour in every state until we actually got to El Paso. And it was raining here when we drove in which is a rare occurrence. My landlord and some of my friends helped unpack the truck and the POD and it went pretty quickly. My mom flew down the day after we got here, so she helped unpack and wash everything in the kitchen, among other things. It was nice to have my parents here to help and be with so it was not totally overwhelming moving into a 3 bedroom house on my own. I took them to some of the few exciting things to do in this city including a mountain hike, some good Mexican food, and to Cattleman's Steakhouse.
To this.

While this year definitely did not go fast, it does seem strange that we're in the last few weeks and that it will soon be over. The countdown is down to just a few weeks and I am so excited! Homecoming is going to be a great day.
