We passed through Arkansas and weren't surprised when we spotted a huge, ugly, brown spider in a rest area bathroom. Arkansas is "The Natural State," after all.
After twenty-some hours on the road, we finally arrived in Texas in the afternoon. Even in late September, the state is one hot and humid place. I cannot stress enough how humid it is here. We drip whenever we step outdoors.
Jim had to work at his Houston office today, so Jacob, Nancy, Richie, and I toured the NASA Johnson Space Center. It was awesome! We saw so many interesting things there, including this mock Space Shuttle where astronauts train for their jobs. My absolute favorite part of the day was seeing the actual Mission Control room where so many historic space flights have been coordinated. (Think "Houston, we have a problem.")Tomorrow we are going to see what the northern Houston real estate market has to offer. As most of you know, Jim's position with his company has been relocated to Texas. After much thought, debate, and wishy-washy indecisiveness, we have decided to sell our current home in Michigan. With the money from that sale - and, fortunately, the company will buy our house if it does not sell - we plan to purchase a small condo in Michigan plus a house in Texas. Our intent is to spend the rest of this week on a whirlwind house hunting expedition. I'll post pictures of anything intriguing that we come across.

I already warned my boss that I'd be coming down after you guys move in there and working out of the office in Houston for a week. I mean I've gotta show you the cool Houston stuff. I did love Texas.
Oh, that will be fun! Lots to see and do around here. Bring Jen, too!
