It's been 1 year that we've lived here. It's strange that it goes by so fast. Here are10 things that I've learned since living here in Texas.
1-People here don't speak with as much southern accent as I thought
2-They do say ya'll and ma'am a lot though
3-Texans are very proud of their state. They even sculpt flower beds in the shape of Texas! I've seen stepping stones too. Can you even imagine Utah shaped stepping stones in your garden?
4-I hate bermuda grass
5-The winters are lovely
6-The summers are not so lovely
7-You can actually trick-or-treat in your Halloween costume and not have it covered up with a coat
8-You could get totally lost without a GPS. There are no mountains to help with sense of direction
9-A two day trek with kids to see Grandma and Grandpa isn't all that fun
10- I really miss my family. Lots and lots. Thank goodness for blogs and email to keep me updated with news and family pictures.

Ahh, Mary, and we miss you, lots and lots. It would be fun to have everybody write ten things they have learned in the last year, but it would be harder for me because one year just slides into another without a lot of differences. Though this year sure had a lot of vacations!
Love you. Mommy
I just have to "ditto" everything you wrote. I'd never been called Ma'am before moving here. Makes me feel old. :) And I agree about the necessity of a GPS here--not only are there no mountains, but there is no grid system. I am too much a Utahn, I guess.
Miss you, Mary! But now, at least, you can say you are a part Texan like Katie, Melissa and me.
I can't believe its already been a year! WOW!!! It has gone by so fast hasn't it. We miss you guys too. Hopefully the next year You can write about the 10 things you have learned about living in Idaho or Utah!!! Ryans almost done right??? Love you tons!!!
I really miss you!!! - ya'll
