My Texas life.....

So for those of you who don't know....we moved to Texas though I think I said that in previous posts. We have been here for just over half a year. I can't say as to whether or not I love it or not. It's beautiful here.....it was beautiful in Idaho as well.....so its a different beautiful. I love the fact that there are a million leafy trees here, and lakes everywhere.....i know that not all of Texas is that way......I miss the mountains.......We have wild life in our back yard....deer, armadilos......humm.....raccoons possums.......its fun.
The kids are in the smallest school district here. I love that.....there are only about 500 kids in all. We are getting to know so many people in the schools....its nice. Sami and Nat have been voted the friendliest kids in there grades, and Angelo has been made class rep for the 4th grade.....along with these honors comes a dinner and award ceremony along with a red carpet walk. This should be cool! Tabi was disappointed not to have won anything. She is still fabulous to me....and has been so invovled with school it is okay......not everyone can win everything all the time.
I have been subbing.....that is fun! Junior high rocks! I love the kids and it helps being in a new place being able to be close to my own kids! Its funny to have kids come up to me and hug me....that aren't my own.....and say Mrs. L who's class are you in today......and then to see either the excitment or disappointment when I tell them.......I love being loved!!!
I miss my friends and family....it's so hard not knowing people my own age here. I wish I had a friend. Sounds pathetic and perhaps if I tried harder i would meet some people.....other mom's to hang out with? But if you know me you know that I just am not like that......SO I would have more luck moving a friend out here.......LOL
I can't get over the "Texas Pledge" or the fact that so many people are so strongly oppinionated over it. Oh well......I can't bring myself to say it.....I am an Idaho girl at heart.......
