After being at our third assignment for two weeks already, I figure it's time to update the blog. Michael got placed at a mall in Plano, TX for February 1st! We were sad to say goodbye to the lovely gulf coast area but thrilled to head on up to the big city of DALLAS!
We packed my car once again (which is getting smaller and smaller by the move) and loaded up Michael's pick-up and drove 7 hours up to the Metroplex. Carmen rode all the way with Daddy because his car is so much cooler than mine. "No, Daddy's truck!" is all we hear when we decide to take my car anywhere.
We stayed one night in a hotel then moved into our new apartment the next day. We've slowly been getting acquainted with the area and, let me tell you, it's everything that Northern Virginia has to offer just better in every single way. No wonder Texans have so much pride. This big city does it right. Their road systems are so much better, their neighborhoods are great, their shopping centers are classy, and there is more offered here for a family to do than you could imagine. It'd be fun to stay here for a few months. We've eaten at some delicious local spots and had great tex-mex. Our plan is to hit up a big park downtown tomorrow (sunny and 75 degrees) and try out all the food trucks after church. AND maybe the best part, I've gotten to see my relatives a handful of times since we moved here and hope for more!
