So I have been in Texas for almost 2 months now- it is still hot here! We like our town, it's a perfect size for us, and the perfect distance to the city. We are going to see West Side Story this weekend, so we are very excited! I am missing the mountains and the cool nights of Utah, but mostly the family. I have loved getting to know the culture of Texas. I have heard some things over the last few weeks that either I didn't understand or thought were funny.
1. Toad Floater/frog-strangler--down poor, flash flood
2. Coke- any soda. Not just a coke.
3. Toboggan- hat (beanie)
4. daggummit- dang. crap.
(I hear this one all the time)
5. Thanks darlin'/ sugar/sweetheart
I've really had to focus on saying "yes ma'am" or "no sir"- at the store, on the phone, anywhere- because I feel like I'm being rude if I don't. Especially if they are older than me. Everyone says it here. To EVERYONE! I love it! I went to my mother-in-law's classroom a couple weeks ago, and loved hearing her students say "yes ma'am" and "thank you ma'am." They sound very respectful when they say it.

So fun! I love the "texas stories"! it's like a different world:) post pics so we can see you:)
We loved Texas when we lived in San Antonio (1979-1982)-- except for that dang humidity! Wait till you see the bluebonnets blooming along the roadsides -- beautiful!
