Newfie in Texas

Never in a million years would I have thought I would be going to Texas.

Grew up in a small town in Newfoundland, moved to Calgary, AB at 19 and now at 29 moving to Houston, TX. I HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!! Canada is all I have ever known.

I have just renovated 2 rooms in my house here in Calgary and well it took me a long time to do. One wall alone in my bedroom took me 3 days to get finnished. I have mastered the striping process in thoes 3 days.......home improvement shows make painting stripes look so easy....NOT!!! Craig called and said that it looked like we would be relocating to Houston and I stopped for a sec and said "You do realize that the stripes are not Peel and stick right??" LMAO I worked as a tension breaker...lol.

We have always known that relocation was possible but I guess we never expected it right now. I told Craig that what ever happened with his work I would be there to support him. My job is so flexable and I can basically drive a bus anywhere that it really dosn't matter where we live. I guess it is just the thought of living in such a HUGE place. "Fear of the unknown" is what Someone said when I expressed my fears.

The boys are downright giddy about the whole thing......as long as we get a house with a swimming pool they really dont care...lo. **swimming pool actually sounds good**smile**LOL

BUT......nothing is written in stone yet....we have alot of paper work to get done!!!

From a town of less than 3000 to a City with more that 3,000,000.....what will we do next....lmao
