Houston, Baby

So, We have been in Houston for nearly 3 months. At first, I just pretended we were in Hawaii, and that's why it was soo humid. Now I am just like one of those people that cannot Stand to be outside unless I am swimming. Houston is an incredibly ugly city, and you can break a sweat just crossing the street to the other apartment building, at NIGHT.

However, I do like Houston for these reasons:
1-I now go to the gym frequently to run, and have a nicely toned stomach (something I've always wanted)
2-I have been able to read tons of classic novels, and some other books as well, (that are more embarrassing).
3-I have time to teach myself stuff, like cooking, crosswords and doing the splits.
4-Jake and I now get to hang out with a bunch of really cool married peeps.

This is Natalli's 20th birthday party (90's themed) with us, the Coopers, and the Ellsworths. We are all trying to Slow Dance, 90's style.

This is us and our favorite upstairs neighbors, the Duffys. Tyler and Jake always try to distract Melissa and I so they can sneak off and play Call of Duty.

5- I think I'm finally getting a grip on what I want when I "grow up" (a cat lady, ok, jk)
6-Last but not least, it's been a cool experience for me and Jake, we are closer than ever. We don't get to spend a whole lot of time together, but we make the most of it. And we are into lots of good habits. Like going to the temple every week with the Ellsworths and such.

We are very excited to come home though. I think Natalli is going to suck me into sewing.. I need to get away from her ;)
