Turning into Texans?

Not too much has been going on here in Texas. Grant started teaching last week and I have been working at the dental office. We seem to be getting back into somewhat of a normal routine. Sunday, Grant and I went to a local western store called Cavender's Boot City. And let me tell you. . that is exactly what it is! This place has more boots than you could even imagine!! Rows and rows of boots. All different styles, sizes and colors. They even have boots for babies (which are the absolute CUTEST thing I have ever seen!!)  Cheryl, you will die when you see these little boots!!  Anyway, this was just one row in the store.

Grant had his eye on a pair and finally decided to try them them on. I believe it was love at first sight!!

BUT. . if you know Grant, you know he has to think long and hard about anything before he buys it or he will have a severe case of buyers remorse, so we left the store without any boots. I also had my eye on a pair and am sure that I will be back soon to get them :-)

The house hunting is still going on. . . Because we want to live in a certain neighborhood, there are not a lot of houses for sale for us to choose from. As of right now, we have narrowed it down to two homes. One is a new construction house that is still being built. We haven't seen the finished product of course, but we love it so far. It is a little over our price range and because the builder is selling it, we don't think there will be much negotiating room. We sure love it though!! Our friends Alex and Christine live on the street directly behind this house so that would be kind of fun.

The other house is really nice too. The couple that lives there now is moving to Florida this week so we think we could get them to come down a good bit. Their style is very Southwestern so every room in the house needs to be painted. . Something to consider. We really like it and it is definitely one of our top choices right now.  (that's our realtor at the front door. Love her!!)

On another note, for the first two weeks we were here without our things, we ate pretty unhealthy because I couldn't cook. We ate out a good bit which is something that Grant and I don't do. I think I gained a good bit of weight our first month here so I am trying to get back to cooking really healthy and working out again. I am trying to think of yummy healthy options to fix. These were the ingredients for dinner one night last week.

Last night I was on Skype with Erica and Caroline and Caroline was telling me all about how she had gymnastics tomorrow night and she was so excited. She said, "Aunt Jess, you gonna be there to watch me?" Let me tell you. THIS.BROKE.MY.HEART!!!!! I cried after  talked to her. I think this was the first time that I really felt homesick. I have done pretty well this past month, but that just about did me in. So sad :-(

Hope everyone has a great week!!
