Yep, it's true. We moved to The Lone Star State (aka Texas). Why? Jesus got a job promotion that required the move. So we packed everything up and moved, all in just about 2 weeks. Wooh it was fast. Jesus had to get everything squared away at his work and I had to finish my semester at school 2 months early. It's safe to say we were pretty busy. So here is an update of everything that happened since we left Fresno.
Early Saturday morning we left to hit the road. Jesus was driving the U-Haul which had our Yaris being towed behind it and I was driving the truck. Just a few minutes of driving I realized that although the Yaris was being towed and it wasn't being broken into, the alarm was going off. Every 30 seconds I would hear, "Beep-beep-beep!!" After about 10 minutes of the beeping, the full out alarm went of, with the lights flashing, the horn blaring, and even more beeping. Nonstop. So how did we stop the alarm from going off? I had to travel close enough to the Yaris so I could use my Yaris key to press the button to unlock the doors. Soooo yep, every 30 seconds I had to press the unlock button. Unfortunately, because Jesus packed all of his tools, we had to drive for about 2 more hours like that until some shops opened where we could buy tools to disconnect the battery. But jeez! That beeping was sooo annoying!!!!!!!
Jesus's mother Maria was kind enough to accompany us on our adventure, however, I didn't have her ride with me in the truck to often because I like to sing along to my music. I like to sing loud. I mean, really really loud. And I get super into it. Like if it's a sad song, I'll sing with a sad face, etc. And I didn't want her witnessing my singing time because I knew she would laugh at me. Haha, if I were someone else and saw me, I would laugh too.
Out cute little doggy, Texas (she was named that before we even knew we would move to Texas, so don't judge her name!), was so tired of riding in the truck that when we would take a break and take her on a walk, when she saw that we were getting in the truck she would lay down and not move an inch. Poor puppy. She hates cars now. Oh well.
Once we got to Texas it was amazing to us to see the difference between Texas and California. For instance, there is no litter in Texas! I can count on one hand how many pieces of trash I saw on the side of the road once we got into Texas. It's incredible how clean it is here. And their aren't any homeless people that we've seen yet. Completely mind blowing!! It's like entering into a different world! The best thing I saw once entering Texas was a giant billboard that had a picture of the former president Bush, and it said, "Do you miss me yet?" Next to the writing there was a picture of Obama. Hahahahaha. I laughed so hard!!! I found this picture online, and while it wasn't the same billboard I saw, it gives the message.
Another big difference between here and Fresno is that Jesus was looking at the news for Fresno the other day and saw that there had been 6 shootings that night. Then he looked at the Dallas news and the biggest thing to report? It was a car accident. Haha yeah. It is pretty tame here.
On Monday we finally made it to our destination, however, the apartment complex that we made plans to stay at was actually pretty ghetto. Reallly ghetto. So instead of moving into what we thought would be our new home, we had to go apartment hunting with a U-Haul and everything. After visiting 3 other apartments, we found the apartment that we are now living at. It wasn't the best one that we saw, but it was available for us to move into that day. So now we are living in Irving and so far it doesn't seem too bad. I think I would like it a whole lot more if I had friends here. Friends make a big difference. Yep.
Oooo but guess what?! We bought a washer and dryer!!! It is really so exciting. I never realized how much of a luxury it was to always use my mother's washer and dryer to do our laundry, and once we moved to our apartment we had to use the ones at the complex. It pretty much sucked. So Jesus and I decided to buy our own! It is much cheaper in the long run to buy them instead of paying to use the ones at our complex. I love the smell of fresh laundry. And now we have it in our home! Delight!!!!
Weeelllll, that's pretty much it for now. I'll post soon again with pictures and more stories.
