First Day of Work

Sooo today is Phillip's first day of work, and here I am at home! I have gotten a lot done today, so I'm feeling pretty productive so far! I thought I'd start out by giving you some details on what I've been dealing with the past two weeks and what Conroe is really like. First of all, I'm still going to school. I'm slowly finishing my degree this semester, while trying to be the perfect house wife! I have three classes, Intro to Philosophy, Russian Civilization and Culture, and Women and Religion. All three of them have been a lot of work so far, but all are really interesting.

Conroe is a town about the size of Norman, but it is centered around a major highway, so there seems to be a lot more "bustling." It is definitely not lacking in anything related to

food and shopping! There is a big ole mall, outlet malls, giant bookstores, and brand new fun things to find in grocery stores. Since the Hispanic population is a lot higher down here, there are a lots of imported items from Mexico! That is exciting for me, because I love Spanish and can actually read a lot of it. Phillip and I have had lots of fun finding really weird products.. like salsa watermelon candy straws! I haven't tried them yet, but I'll be sure to blog about them when I do...I just can't wrap my head around spicy watermelon!

They have real sugar soda here! That means more calories to burn in my workouts, but it sure is tasty! Instead of telling you all about the adventures we have already had in one ginormous blog post, I thought I'd space it out this week (because I doubt I'll go lots of places this first week).

The weather is really nice here. Lots more rain and less pollen which equals a less asthmatic me! Also, Kayla and I have started a reading goal for the year! So far I have read 5/50 books and I'm currently reading the Hunger Games! Please give me book ideas and ideas about what you'd like to see me blog about. Like... a crazy blog challenge for the week! I'm out for today, but there are many adventures to come. I love you all!
