Exploring Houston - and NYC!

Hello friends!

So, we are mostly settled in Houston!  Warren has begun his job, and I have begun working part time for a dental office.  With the exception of a few curtains and wall decorations, things are falling together.  We are getting into our routine, meeting new friends, and exploring Houston.

I know what you're thinking.  "Jordan, you grew up in Houston, what is there to explore?" (Or maybe you weren't thinking that.  Now you are!) Well, that's easy.  I grew up with everything in about a 10-15 miles radius of our house - school, church, grocery store, gymnastics, swim team, friend's houses, driver's ed...you name it!  So as I introduce Warren to "my" city, we are learning together.  How?  When we decide to go out to eat for a date night, we usually try and pick somewhere we haven't been, somewhere I faintly remember is cool, or somewhere that some random website rates as a "good eat".

Warren has been out of town for training for ~4 days now.  I have gone stir crazy!  (Hence the blog update!) I have cleaned a lot, organized even more, and had my amazing parents over for dinner.  I can honestly say they were our first real "guests" in our home, Houston or Baton Rouge, that I have actually cooked for!  Never mind we have been married for over 2 years! ;)  Being the self-reliant and independent person I am, I have enjoyed the solitude, but I must admit - I am so ready to see Warren! 

So, as I said, Warren has been out of town for a while.  I am going to join him tomorrow!  We are staying in New Jersey, but going to NYC during the days.  I. CANNOT. WAIT.  New York has to be one of my top 3 places EVER.  I think New York, London, and Paris are all 3 tied for first place!)  I am stoked.  We won't be there for long, but I intend to fully soak up the hustle and bustle!  The last time I went to NYC, I was with my mom, and I was turning 21.  We had a great time.  I fully expect to thoroughly enjoy this trip as well.  Pictures (and stories, I'm sure) to come after we return!  But for now, it's off to finish packing.

Gross.  I hate packing.  I wish I could pay someone to do it for me.  *Sigh*  Oh, the things I will do to get to NYC! ;)

until next time, peace love and NYC
