The beginning .......

Howdy Ya'll from Houston, Texas!

This is our first effort in the area of 'blogging' and we feel confident that we can conquer this marvelous technological feat and give you all a continuing update of our life and times here in cowboy country.

It has taken us a couple of months to finally put 'fingers to blog' so to speak - keeping up with emails has been somewhat of a challenge and hopefully this mode of communication will keep all our voyeuristic friends well informed!

We arrived here on the evening of Dec 29th 2006 and then just had enough time to unpack, familiarise ourselves with our new living arrangements, have a quick look around town before tarting ourselves up and heading out with Dave & Craig (EDN Contractors staying here at the apartments) to celebrate the New Year. It was a very memorable night and the beginning of a year full of new adventures.

Since then we have experienced so much and are really enjoying our time here and will certainly be filling each day with lots of enthusiasm and gratitude and making the most of every minute.

Some highlights so far ............
