Sweet Pork and Other Adventures.

This week Daniel had two days off from work for the holiday! Monday, the 4th, we made sweet pork burritos. They were tasty, and then we made a few more and put them in the freezer so Daniel could take them to work when he gets too tired of sandwiches. We didn't have any fireworks because of the drought none of the cities in the county were allowed to have any fireworks at all. Some kids did play with some behind our dumpster though. (We only know because two fire trucks had to come and put out the fire in our dumpster.)

Tuesday we went to get our new Texas driver's licenses. First we got in a long line to get a few forms and a number so that we could sit in a big group of uncomfortable chairs waiting for our turn. We actually didn't have to wait that long in the seats, but we did laugh that sitting in the line was like waiting for a raffle ticket number to get called or getting called down on the price is right. We think someone should make a short movie about it, but that is just us. We also finally cleaned up our second bedroom where we store all of our things. It now looks a whole lot better! Instead of a bunch of boxes out, they are all put away in the closet!

Finally, Daniel headed to work and seemed to enjoy it. He got to lead a meeting. He says he made some mistakes with the meeting, but it is his first time. He also made design recommendations on the project that he is working on; he likes to have some control over the things that he is working on. I worked on my newest cross stitch project and worked on things around the house.

All in all, we are having a fun time here in Texas! We don't really go outside because it is so hot, but we find lots of fun things to do inside. We drink lots of cold treats and eat lots of ice cream, but that is just to replace all of the brownies we used to eat.
