Don't Mess With Texas

We have arrived to Texas! I laughed every time I saw this sign while driving through the HUGE state!

Here is my nephew and I building a tower when we visited him in Austin.

Our apartment is very nice. DOW gave us some nice things when we got here as well as decorating the apartment. I took pictures because I know it will never look like this again!

Since here, we've discovered that food costs a TON more than Utah. We were quite surprised. Beef here costs almost 4 bucks a pound (at least at the grocery store we went to) where back in Utah, I was buying it for under 3 dollars. Milk is what astounded us the most. We're used to the Creamery milk at BYU being under 2 bucks. Here, we paid 3.50 a gallon! Oh well... I guess the cows here live more extravagantly than Utah cows.

We went swimming in the pool and walked around the property on Saturday. It is very big and very nice. We drove around our new town Sunday and loved it. It is a small tourist town, which makes it fun and exciting. Today, Joseph started his internship but I have yet to hear how it went. Tomorrow, I leave to visit my sister for about a week!
