Real Sporting Events: We have real teams here! We went to an Astros game about a month ago and sure we sat in basically the highest/steepest/scariest seats possible, but we were there for a real game and the hot guy from Desperate Housewives threw the starting pitch. Very cool.
Our Friends: Basically friends make a world of difference when you live so many miles away from family. We have had the oppertunity to meet some of the greatest people here. Our best friends the Polls (Sevy's BFF Kenzi) just moved away from us to start real life back in Utah. Just looking through our pictures with them, we've gone through a lot together. We camped out together during the aftermath of Ike. Jeni and I took the kids to the park, "Chickalay", the mall, or each other's houses basically every day. We had mulitple Sunday dinners, date nights, and game nights with this family. We also had another slumber party with them when they were homeless and ready to leave Texas. It was like girls camp all over again as we played games until way late, and then Jeni and I stayed up talking until way too early in morning! We've been blessed to have the Talbot's here with us still! They are the greatest and love to play games as much as we do, and love the beach as much as we do, and are willing to help at the drop of a hat. How bleesed are we!
There's just a few of the things we love about Houston. Not listed are: Ikea, LA Fitness, Pearland's Chick-fil-a (they have the nicest ladies who come around personally to refill your drinks, always respond "my pleasure" and really make you feel like it was their pleasure!), Queen's Bar-b-que, The Galleria, and Gringo's. Doesn't this make you want to come visit?!

Love the pictures, especially the one of Teik at the beach. We hope to visit you in Houston someday but look forward to the times you come here!
Yes, we would love to come to Houston as vacation and have fun fun with those who know how to have fun.
I totally want to visit, if only to kick it with your Branch! I am fascinated.
Tiek is your mini me. He reminds me of what you looked like in your gorgeous babyness.
I am excited to see you at Lake Powell. I have been building my lower arm muscles (okay, since yesterday) so that I can hang on to the darned ski rope.
I love you.
Candice
