Our New Blog for Our New Home

Well, now that we have completely removed ourselves from ALL of our family, we figured our website needed a little more information on it to keep everyone updated constantly. So, welcome to our new blog. For those of you that don't know what a blog is (and I know there are some of you out there) it is basically an online journal where we will write about what we are doing and you can check in, read all our thoughts and chime in with your own opinions and comments.

We picked the name "Learning to Love Dallas" because as most everyone knows, neither of us were very excited about the move. We both wholeheartedly hope that within the one year we are here, we will grow to love it and enjoy our short stay. Hence the name, "Learning to Love Dallas." Worst case senario, we don't love it and we deal with it for a year and then get the heck outta here!!

Our move to Allen was smooth. We have been here two weeks and are getting use to the area and the horrid traffic, long driving distances and the crazy fast drivers. Michael is currently in Denmark giving a talk at a conference. He left Hendrix and I in this new town all by ourselves, but we have kept ourselves busy.

Here is our new house:


We are enjoying our new house and are slowly getting everything where we want it and organized and trying to make it home and not simply a house.

We have already had our first overnight guests. Scot, Michaels dad came down for a couple days and my friends Mary and Sara stayed the night also. We have a guest room with a new comfy bed. Now, we are ready for guests...So come and see us! :)

I hope you will continue to check our ramblings and our adjustments to big city living. It will be an interesting year... Also please feel free to leave us comments on our postings so we know this is being read! To leave a comment just click the link under each post that says, "comments"
