Adventures in Texas... Part 2


Here we are into our 2nd week here. We are getting quite settled and feel like we've been here a while! The apartment is so comfortable. The kids and I are enjoying our routine of lounging around and going to the pool every day. Rebekah is really becoming a great swimmer.

One of the funny parts of being down here is seeing people that we know and have known from Washington. We were able to visit with our good friends, the Dinsmoors, as Holly is moving down to Houston and they stopped in San Antonio. We had dinner this past week with someone that Doug went to high school with and the kids and I can't wait to hang out with them this summer. We also have been hanging out with the Holders, who we knew from Fort Lewis and tomorrow I get to see our friend Jen VanderWerff with her daughter and mom. So crazy:-)

One thing we have decided is that we want to experience and see as much of Texas as we can while we are down here. After all, we may never get down here again. With that in mind, Doug found a great little town for us to visit this past Saturday. We went to Gruene, TX (pronounced Green). It is a great old cotton farming town that was started back in the 1870's. A lot of the original buildings are there. We enjoyed touring the shops and walking along the Guadalupe River. I don't know where this week will take us, but I am looking forward to it.

Again we miss all of you and hope you are all having a wonderful summer.
