Apartment pics to come!


Well I was hoping to post a bunch of pictures from our apartment but I am having problems with my Snapfish album and only have one to post today. However, it is of our cute breakfast room and I like that room! :)



So we have been here for a few days now and are still trucking along. The reality of going back to school has been a little bit rough. Especially for Lance who has been out for 2 years. We are also adjusting to a very different schedule. Lance has all evening classes and I have all morning/afternoon classes. My program is also in the Health Science College so I am really not even a Tech student. It is an extreme amount of work and I am going to be SUPER busy for the next two years. There are 37 girls and 1 guy in the program and everyone is really easy to get along with. It is comforting to know that I have 37 other girls in the same boat with tons of classes and clients for the next two years. I have already really had fun getting to know some of the people.



I also got my caseload today and am SUPER SUPER pumped. I was selected to be in a group that gets to help sweet little people from the nursing homes and other people in the community that have had strokes. Not to mention that my other clients don't go over the age of 4! SO FUN!


I also have to express some HUGE misconceptions I had about Lubbock so far. I really thought the town was full of a bunch of farmers and people driving tractors down the road. I assumed the people at Tech would be really country and wear boots or something to class. Well that is WRONG! The girls at Tech are the cutest, most stylish things I have ever seen. I mean don't get me wrong...I am very aware that I am in West Texas but they have definitely not missed the boat on fashion and expensive cars! Not to mention, the 25 sorority girls at Rosa's today eating about 5 burritos each in their size 0 jeans reminded me that I am not 19 anymore either!


My parents and Betho drove across the state to help us move in here and we worked SO hard on this apartment! My parents are AMAZING to come all the way to Lubbock to help us move. We had some friends over and they were amazed at how settled in we were! And that is ALL thanks to my wonderful parents, Lance & Betho (and john and ellen who hired us movers). I wish we weren't so far away because we have tons of room here and LOVE visitors! Anytime you are driving to Colorado or New Mexico or whatever else is this way stop in! :) However, we aren't too homesick yet because Betho is still here and staying until Sunday! But I think we are going to be really happy here for two years.


Ok well this has been kind of a long, rambling post. I am thinking that my life is about to get a little crazy and I don't know how much I am going to be able to blog. I hope I still can a lot though! :)


Have a good week....we miss everyone in Houston are thinking about you! :)
