The Transition

So, we are now in Texas living in a little whole of an apartment. One thing is amazingly different though, at least for me. In Washington I lived next to the same person for years, I never knew their name. In Texas, the first night in my new apartment I decided to go for a walk. People were outside everywhere BBQ's and Beer. No matter where you go, someone was saying hello and inviting you to take a seat and have a drink, meats on the grill help yourself. I could not believe it! Where was I for the first 20 years of my life?

I have since grown to love the personalities and southern hospitality that you will find down here. I have not traveled the world and I don't know much, but Texas has some of the most unique and friendly people I have ever met. I will always remember my first real meal in Texas, Wild Hog, Brisket and Moonshine! Brisket would be my new favorite food, but the most interesting thing I tried was crawfish.. They say you should suck on the heads... I am not that brave!

Anyways, we spend the first year down ere just struggling by, but making it. Then one day, my boss comes up and asks me if I am ready to take control of my life and take on new responsibilities. Well heck yeah I been doing it for the last two years! So I jumped head first into management, it's been several years since then but I still remember sitting down at my interview and answering the question from one of the big wigs. "Where do you see yourself in ten years" My answer of course? In your seat....
