About

Justine & Dave in ColoradoWe’re currently living and working in Houston, TX and still getting used to the heat and humidity. Here are a few things people don’t realize about Houston:

1. Hurricanes are social events. When a hurricane is headed for the gulf coast, people talk about it while they’re waiting in line at the grocery store much like people on the east coast talk about a big snow storm or the Phillies making it to the playoffs.

2. Mosquitoes really CAN carry small children away. I’ve seen it. They fly in formation and work as a team. It’s frightening, really.

3. Eating Tex-Mex and BBQ for 4 months straight will indeed cause you to gain 30 pounds. However, you will be powerless to prevent this.

4. When someone tells you they live in a hot and humid climate…they are completely full of shit. Unless, of course, they live in Houston. Then they are totally serious.

5. Being a Republican isn’t necessary, but it’s assumed.

6. Owning an SUV isn’t required, but it’s applauded.

7. Big Texas hair is not a myth. However, it may not be completely intential due to the hair-curling humidity.

8. Golf is way more popular then you might expect. Mostly during NON-SUMMER months (see #4).

9. Believe it or not, there are gay people in Texas. I know, I didn’t believe it at first either.

That about sums it up. We’re having a blast while we’re here. There’s a lot to see and do. Houston is the 4th largest city in the United States. It takes about 1 hour to drive from the northern border of Houston to the south border. Yes, that drive is as fascinating as you might expect.

Hope you enjoy our blog.
