TEXAS FOREVER

For the summer of 2012 Alan decided (well we both did) that we should go sell Vivint home automation systems, AKA do door to door selling. The special place that we are at is Houston Texas. I was very excited because Alan and just finished watching Friday Night Lights which is about a football town in Texas. We left our sweet little home in Provo Utah on June 10th and arrived in Houston that night. The second we landed I felt humidity like never before. I was instantly sweating profusely!! All I could think is how is it so hot at 9:30 at night? We are actually in Webster TX about 30 minutes from downtown Houston and about 20 minutes away from the ocean. We got to our apartment which is pretty nice, James, Alan's best friend decided to say in our apartment with us so that I could have access to a TV (James brought his) and a car. When we go out onto our balcony the I-45 is our backyard so it gets pretty noisy. We get up at 8:30 almost every morning eat breakfast and watch Phineas and Ferb on Netflix while Alan works remotely for Lifestyle Crafts.  Lizzy and I watch movies or go to the pool while Alan is out selling. He Leaves around 1:30 and gets back at 9:30 pm. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be which is really good!! Lizzy just sits and watches either Toy Story 3 or Tangled pretty much all day, at the end of Toy Story 3 she dances around with Buzz and Jessie, it is so cute! We haven't been able to do anything really fun yet but tomorrow is the 4th of July and we are planning on going to Galveston, which is the beach town, they are doing a parade and fireworks on the beach which should be pretty fun, we just need to make sure we wear lots and lots of bug spray because there are millions of mosquitoes, literally!!!!

Some things about TX, never do your hair down because it will look terrible in about 5 minutes. Do not go outside at night for very long other wise you will be eaten alive by mosquitoes. The Walmart here always has lines open it is awesome!! The accent is sweet. The weather here is bipolar, one minute it is beautiful and sunny the next second it is pouring rain, then back to sunshine then thunder and lightning. The street lights are horizontal not vertical and they have side roads to the freeway which are very cool. The roads are white and not black because that would just make the whole state hotter. There are lizards everywhere. The landscape goes tons of buildings then random field for about 1/2 mile then big buildings then field again, there is a lot land in Texas. That was just a few tid bits, more to come. . . .
