James and I are living in Arlington Farms, a large gated community on the outskirts of Waco, TX. Baylor's campus is only about 2 miles down the road, which will make traveling to and from campus very nice. We hope that once late fall hits, we will be able to ride our bikes to school, but right now it is way too hot! We have a cute three bedroom apartment, and have been spending the last two weeks setting it up, and getting to know the Waco area. As you can probably imagine, it's very different from Virginia, but the area is growing on us. The dry heat scorches everything, causing buildings to look run down and crappy, so at first glance, you're like, where on earth do these people live! But, in reality, it's a nice area that just needs a little bit of work. On one side of the apartment complex is farm land, and on the other is a business road, full of farming equipment retail, a feed store, three rim shops, a Mexican restaurant, a Guns-R-Us, a strip "gentlemen's club" and an old drive thru movie theatre turned flea market. Our apartment complex is really nice though and we have clickers to get into the gate, which is kind of exciting. We've only had three cockroaches so far, and we think we've fixed that problem by filling in a hole with spray foam insulation. We've been having some problems with our internet provider, as our speed goes in and out, and we haven't been able to upload any pictures until now! Which is why there has been a lack of you seeing what we've been up to, and a lack of updates. Hopefully it is just my computer, and will be fixed as soon as we get our new ones. Until next time, greetings from Texas!
