Texcapades, Part 1: Settling In

Howdy, y'all! Rex, Alice, and I have been living in Texas for a week now and we are loving our adventure! It took us 3 days of driving to get out here. It sounds horrendous, but we actually had a good time. Rex and I have always enjoyed road trips together and Alice slept most of the way, so it wasn't hard to travel with her. It was a little tricky figuring out where I could nurse her since we are new at the whole breastfeeding thing and since I'm pretty darn modest, but we worked it out!

I took these at a Burger King that we stopped at along the way. How cute is she?!

Until the end of August, we will be calling Euless, Texas home. Rex sells security systems for a company called North Star. He works Monday-Saturday, 11am-10pm (ish). The schedule is kinda rough, but we're getting used to it. 

Alice and I spend our days reading, eating, sleeping, cleaning, etc. Man, am I glad that she's here with me! I didn't know a newborn could provide so much company, but she does! Rex's friend, Jeff works for North Star and he is here with his wife and baby, Katie and Nolan. Alice and I have hung out with them a couple of times. It's nice to have another mom around!

I really like the apartment complex we live in. We got a 1-bedroom apartment, but in a lot of ways it feels more spacious than our 2-bedroom in Fresno. That could be due to the high ceilings, or it could be because we have a queen size bed here, so the bedroom seems enormous. Either way, it's a nice feeling. 

We have a big walk-in closet through our bathroom.

Our California King size bedding doesn't fit too well on our tiny bed. Neither do we... :-\

The walls are so bare! We were limited on how much we could pack, so we didn't bring any wall decor. I might have to get some pictures and frames or something, though, so I don't go crazy looking at these blank walls everyday!

Euless is about 30 minutes west of Dallas. Today we went for a drive to see the Dallas temple. It was a beautiful day! At least the nasty humidity hasn't hit us full force yet! *Fingers crossed*
