Big D

We have been in Dallas for two weeks. So far, so good. We are staying in Nate's aunt's house for three months while we scope out the city and figure out where we want to live. The house is big and comfortable. Plenty of room for all of us. My office is in the front bedroom and Nate has the middle room for his office/cave. Nate's working from home now so that's a big adjusment.

Dallas is an easy city to live in. Not too crowded, not too much traffic except during rush hours. It is also a big adjustment. Our neighborhood is very quiet. Our neighbor across the street has something like five cars in his driveway and in front of his house. I've seen one car move regularly. Our lives are so quiet now that when I saw two cars gone, I had to tell Nate. The mail man is a major event. In Nate's office, he watches two lizards run across his windows.

But things are going very well. Just a slower pace. We're both getting a lot of work done and seeing our families more, which was one of the main reasons to move back to Texas. We've been eating a lot of Mexican food and Bar-B-Que, two other reasons to come back. Also, can you say queso? I love that stuff. All we could get in Chicago was queso fundido, which is good but not quite the same. Ahhh, queso. And margaritas. I'm glad to be back.

P.S. Those tenants did work out. No worries, except for that whole not having a job thing. Not too worried about it though. Not yet.
