Waco Shmaco
Well, we did it. We moved to Waco. And yes, it's every thing I thought it would be. It took me all of five days to realize how bored I really am and how much I miss *home*, family, and friends. Waco is a nice town and all...the people are friendly (even at Walmart the shelf-stocker asked if I needed help finding anything.) The aparment is ok (despite the filthiness we met upon arrival), but it's still an apartment. Waco has a lot to offer including Baylor in all it's grandeur, over 150 churches (mostly Baptist), a zoo with real bears, a small water park, lots of shopping (not that I'll be perusing many of the shelves outside walmart and HEB), oh, and starkbucks (we're learning to like cheap coffee first though.) All that...and I still don't love it. I'm sure with time it will get better. We'll make friends even though I'm afraid to.
I start work, Andrew starts school, and Gabriel starts daycare (akk, akk) the 21st. Before that though I go in for a trial run (of sorts) at work, Andrew has orientation, and we'll be headed back to LA for Andrew to be in a wedding. So I guess if I can make it through another week and a half I'll get to socialize again.
In other news, Gabriel took his first real crawl today. (I know you say "first steps" when refering to walking, but what do you say about crawling?) He also is really into the pool at the new place. (Especially when we climbed the fence to get in...more on that another time though.)
*************
Moving to a new place isn't all it's cracked up to be. I miss my real friends. Come visit any time! And I tell you what: If you say "You're my best friend" you can even have the good bed, I'll sleep on the couch!
**************
On the bright side though....Andrew gets to go to BAYLOR! And hey, it's only three years, right? We can do anything for three years/

Hey, chin up! If I was there with you, we could both cry together, instead of just me, like last time.
I'll come visit someday - hopefully, in the not-too-distant future!

It's definitely a toughie at first, but if you can meet just one couple that has the same interest that you both do you're set. Hope you find a good church cause that'll really help too.
