Well year one is almost over and Robby's first birthday is coming up. Amanda now has gotten a little home sick. The choice we have to make now is what do we want. Naturally family being important to both of us it was not a choice that we made easily but eventually I can handle being away from home and something new sounded very exciting. We were moving to Texas!
We made some calls, sold off one of the cars, loaded everything up and said our goodbyes to everyone. Her father flew up to help with the driving the Kia and I got in the U-haul. It took every cent we had but we were on the road.
It took five days and 3200 miles of nonstop driving with an infant and two vehicles but we made the trip and even stopped in El Paso just so I could stand on the border, literally on the line at one of the crossings lol. Hey it was my first time this far south!
We had made arrangements to transfer restaurants (Great thing about coorporations) so everything was ready when we arrived. One last night in the Holiday Inn Express and then we were able to move in the next morning. We had arranged to share an apartment with her cousin Tabitha so she met up with us to sign contracts and get keys.
I can honestly look back now and say without feeling to stupid that Texas was not what i expected. I thought tumbleweed, dirt and ghost towns with ugly guys and big hats. Who would have known it's no different than anywhere else really?? Just hotter!
