I’m just about to head on a plane out of Fort Worth, TX… yeah I said Texas! To head back to Minneapolis…
While I was here, I saw a lot of interesting things… for sure and Becca and I snagged a cute little house to live in once we move down here (less than a month away, yikes!).
Some quick observations:
- Asking people to go to Church with you is very common, even used as a way to get a date…
- You can still smoke pretty much everywhere down here…
- It’s hot. Though I hear it does get cold enough to ice over. (looks like new tires for the civic)
- The truck to car ratio is about 3 trucks to 4 cars… not crazy uncommon but still more trucks.
- Not everyone has an accent, but the ones who do… let me tell you.
- People are nice down here and talk to random strangers quite easily.
- It’s hot.
- It’s huge… Coming from small town Iowa, I know Chicago and New York are big… this is a big area as well…
- Beer is dirt cheap, booze is not.
- I have to learn to two-step…
At any rate, here’s a quick set of photos to go along. See… I didn’t just leave you with a boring all-text post! (These are thumbnails on purpose)
Our hotel room had a kitchen (wtf?):
Bails of hay on a major freeway, during rush:
Our new kitchen:

Yup, we ARE in Texas:
At any rate… we’re heading down on the first of November… 999 miles… to a new chapter in our life. This one will be exciting!
Does this mean you’ll stop cheering on the Packers and go for the Texans?
P.S. Go Bears!
Wow… that game was a waste. We had such a strong showing the first half, then the wasted time out by McCarthy sent Favre into a spiral…
Oh well..
