We're finally getting settled here in southernland. Life is getting even more exciting because now we have friends! last night we had our new friends, Olga, Mike and their 2 yr. old daughter Stacia (good name, huh!) over for dinner and watched the first half of the BYU football game on our brand new TV! It was great! Mike is from Utah and Olga's from Russia. They're also newlyweds (just 4 months), so it's fun to hang out with them. Stacie made some incredible fajitas (she's become an incredible chef) and Olga made a delicious cake. Just before the end of the first half we went on a beautiful walk down the waterway in The Woodlands. Ben and Stacia had the time of their life playing "cuckoo" - which is like a Russian hide and seek. Stacia and Stacie are now best friends, and Stacie has decided that she 'wants one'. Ben's not opposed to the idea either ;)...
The Waterway was AMAZING. We'll have to put up some pictures on this some time, but the walk is beautiful, and near the town center there is an incredible setup of fountains for kids to play in that have lights that change colors for the kids to play in. We didn't come in our swimming suits, so we couldn't play last night, but we GUARANTEE we'll be back.
After the walk, we headed back and were in time to catch the last five minutes of the game. WAHOOOOO!!!! It was great! Good job guys! you made us proud...literally. I think they were mentioned in atleast three testimonies at church today. It's looking like this could be a GREAT season for BYU. Here's to hoping anyway. Stacie just had to take this picture of me in front of our new TV eating ice cream and watching football because she thought it was 'cute'...I'm still scratching my head, but whatever keeps her loving me, I'm just fine with. We're sure we'll have more updates on the way.
