Houston

We have been here a little over 6 months...which is somewhat unbelievable. This weekend, we were talking about some of the things we like about Houston....and we thought we would pass them along to you.

  • Jason's Deli- I have no idea why they haven't put one of these in NWA. It has almost become our Sunday after church routine. They have a super yummy salad bar.
  • Shopping, Shopping, Shopping- Oh my is there ever some good shopping in the Houston area. You name it....and you can find it here! I could go on forever!
  • A major airport- Although we don't necessarily like the fact that Hal has to travel so much, it is nice that we live next to a major airport because I can go with him much cheaper! In the past six months we have been to Atlanta, Milwaukee, Chicago, Mexico City, and London together. He has traveled MUCH more than that...but to tell you that would take up the whole blog.
  • The Astros- We went to two Astros games at Minute Maid Park this summer. Although we haven't converted to being Astros fans...we still had a great time.
  • Our House- We have had a great time getting settled in our house. I seem to keep coming up with house projects....I think Hal is now realizing they might be never ending.
  • Starbucks- I kid you not....there is a Starbucks on every corner! Which is always tempting but even more so now that their Pumpkin Spice Latte is back. Hal is also a big fan of the Strawberries and Cream Frappacino's.
  • Valet Parking- Don't laugh at us...but we have become addicted to $5 Valet Parking at the Galleria and The Woodlands. It is always quite comical to see the Silver Bullet, a.k.a. Hal's Explorer, parked next to a Range Rover and a Bentley.
  • The Woodlands- We love The Woodlands. Although it sounds like a shopping center and not a town, it is actually a town about 30 minutes outside of Houston. We often find ourselves up there on weekends. They have great restaurants and fun shopping.

I am sure there will be much more to add to our list in this city of 4 million. The list is a work in progress!

itI loved reading this and being able to see you in each situation since I have been able to make two trips down. Wonder where the Lord will lead you next?
