Thanks to Texas....

Here is my list of things I may not have got into had I not moved to TEXAS.

1. TENNIS: Yes.. this difficult sport has become a weekly event for me.  I am aweful at this game, but due to current repetition I can finally return some of Brian's shots.  (yes, of course he's good at it.. what isn't he good at!).

2. PAINTING:  After the move, most of my favorite artwork didn't survive.  Brian suggested we go to the art store, buy some canveses and start painting.  Mine turned out like a 4th grade finger painting, but yes, I love it :)

3. BAKING:  i've done more and more experimenting with food than normal.  Recently I mastered homemade oreo cookies.  YES!

4. EATING: Houston is the CENTER of food.  There are so many different people here, they have to match, mix and swirl all types of food types together!  Our latest favorite, Tornado Tacos.  They are a tiny taco place off the 1099.  Their advertising boasts "Delicious Tacos of Mythical Proportions".  And yes they are.... YUM!

5. I LOVE APARTMENTS: I was worried about moving back into a tiny one bedroom apratment.  But look at the new benefits!  I have MUCH less space to clean, a free 24 hour personal gym membership, a free pool, hot tub and so much more! The complex is nearly empty and I never see anyone, so most of these amenities truely are just for me :)

More to come. Here's to trying new things!!
