Life thus far..

So, it's been a week in Abilene. What we have learned so far:

- Life is made up of three things: Waking up, Working all day, and going to Wal-mart
- Buy bug spray. Lots of it. The mosquitoes are terrible here.
- Oh, and Abilene is also spiderville. We've counted about 25 since we've been here. (And this is not cool. If there is any type of animal, vegetable or mineral we shun, it is any form of arachnoid. Eww.)
- Take water everywhere you go-- it's always 300 degrees outside
- Packing tape can fixes almost anything!

Other than that, we've been pretty boring this week. We opened our last box yesterday and breathed a sigh of relief. Blake has been wonderful about transferring all of our moving information and taking care of all the fine details. I have been busy beautifying the house and trying to make it into a home. Other than that, nothing big.

We tried out Southern Hills Church of Christ today. It was great, but it really made me miss GCR. It's weird to walk into a "church" and not know anybody. I haven't felt that in over 25 years. Still, we hope that we will find the place that God wants us to be. We still miss our friends, though.

Love you, and please come visit soon!
