I wake in paradise each day and I’m so in love with it here. I’m still unable to fathom that we are in the middle of this beautiful place. I’m in awe of the land surrounded by gorgeous rolling hills. Bobby is such a sport as I’m constantly saying “It’s so beautiful here”.

I’ve been keeping myself busy house hunting and finding plenty to do to keep busy. I’ve also settled into an afternoon nap each day this week. It’s not like me to nap daily so perhaps my body is just trying to catch up.

Each evening when Bobby comes home (that sounds funny, home) we figure out where we want to go for dinner. Then we take our own sweet time chatting over the dinner table, catching up with each others day.

The other night after dinner we made a visit to Wal-Mart and I was totally blown away by the size of the one here. I’ll just say it’s the biggest one I’ve ever been in ‘seriously’ and I’m so in love with it! My only problem is that I want to feel home, I want to feel like it’s ‘my’ Wal-Mart, I want to know it like the back of my hand. Believe me, this Wal-Mart and I are going to become pals and I’ll be so acquainted with this place before you know it.

Side note: While Bob and I were in line to check out, a group of college boys were behind us chatting. I got so tickled when one of the guys asked the other… “What do you think is gayer, a robe or pj’s.” The other guy responded quickly, “A robe” Hmmm said the guy who asked the question “Why a robe”. Well said the other kid, I have both a robe and pj’s but if you must know… “When I think of a robe, I think of someone who is cold and snuggling to keep warm, they have a cup of coffee in their hands and they have slippers on their feet”. This kid made me laugh right out loud. I used to think of college students as adults but really they are just grown up cute kids. Ya just gotta love them. Living near college town is another perk, it will keep us young at heart.

We are off to a great start and looking forward to calling this our home.
