Update

Since settling into our new home, alot has happened. Aaron brought Simon, our boxer puppy, with him back from Los Fresnos. We were going to "try" to keep him here with us in the apartment. Yeah,...after just one night, we figured out that wasn't going to work. Poor thing would just hate it here. We had such a big yard for him to run around in at the house in Los Fresnos. There was no way I could keep him cooped up in this tiny apartment. So Matthew, being the kind person he is, took our dog under his wing. I was hoping that he would just keep him until we found a house. I don't think that is going to work. I didn't take into account that fact what if the boys got attached to Simon? Attachment didn't even enter my mind until we were on our drive back from meeting Matthew with Simon. Kendra balled the whole way home. And, I mean the WHOLE way home. I didn't think she was that upset about it. We had been talking to her about this situation for a couple of days before we did it. I guess she was more attached then I thought. Needless to say, she cried herself to sleep that night. A couple of days later, after talking to Aaron about Simon busting out of Matthew's window when he was at work, I don't think getting him back is going to be hard. But just on the in-case the boys DO get attached and Simon doesn't bust through any more windows, we have managed to "talk" Kendra into getting a new pet. Yeah, she was that upset. She didn't even want a new pet. Oh well,...live and learn right?

Aaron's first day of work was spent on the toilet. He was sick as a dog. Logan had this little stomach bug when we got here and I guess Aaron got it from Logan. Aaron was not doing good. He came home and just went to bed. He is doing much better now but I hate it when he is sick. He is not one of these guys that lay in bed and just whine. He will try to do stuff and I have to order him go to bed. But when he does I know he feels better. He pretty much slept off whatever he had.

I wouldn't say I was getting home-sick of the valley but I was a little weirded out by the fact that we weren't in the valley in any more. So what did we do to fix that? We went to the nearest Wal-Mart. Hehe...that cured it. All of a sudden I was back in the valley. Anyone who is from there will understand this.

Im also a little overwhelmed by a people here in CS. These people Im referring to are the people that look at you and treat you like you are less of a person than they are. These women with their fake blond hair and acrylic manicured nails and those crazy big rhinestone crosses that hang around their necks. And sometimes the men are just as bad, with their fake tans, and steroid muscles. The sad part is they all "seem" very nice and come off like they would be your friend. Be your friend when no one else was watching. I'm in a whole new world. I never realized just how much Aaron and I considered ourselves to be minimalists until we got here. I'm sure all this is coming from the fact that I don't quit have the apartment the way I would like and I don't know anyone outside of church yet. Granted, we have only been here 2 weeks. I'm sure all this will change. So where is this coming from? I think I'm PMSing. That never helps. Haha
