Oh, Texas

I'm writing this little update mostly for myself, but if you'd like to follow along, go ahead.
Ian seems to be getting into the swing of things with selling. He hasn't been as successful as I'm sure he was planning on, but things are going okay. He's just in the learning curve part of it all right now. He's been out in the scorching sun (yesterday) and there was a rain storm on Thursday that might as well have been a Tsunami. I'm not even kidding. I was outside for 10 seconds running to the car and I was completely drenched. In a way it was kind of fun though. That definitely doesn't happen in Utah.
I'm so back and forth about this place. One minute I love it, the next I'm dying to go home. Mostly I just hate not having much to do besides sit around my apartment. I've been looking for temp jobs, but there doesn't really seem to be much available right now. It's a little frustrating. Add to that the fact that Ian is gone from 11 AM to 10 PM on Weekdays and 9 AM-10 PM on Saturdays, it gets a little discouraging. Which makes me wonder if I'm really going to enjoy life as a stay-at-home mom... Interesting thought... Anyway.
I really am dying to get back into the game as an MA. I miss my job. That sounds weird coming from a person like me, because most days I left work completely exhausted, and really wasn't too excited to keep up my hectic schedule. And don't even get me started on call nights. I'm pretty sure Ian was ready to hide from me the moment he knew I was coming home on those days. But it frustrates me that I don't feel like I have an opportunity to do what I'm good at here.
But if that minor detail were to be resolved, I would really love it here. And most of the time I do. There's lots of palm trees, and although the humidity and I are kinda not friends right now, it does wonders for my hair and skin. And I have to think back to the days during the winter and school where I would've killed for a day to just sit and do nothing.
Also, a side note: people are right when they say Utahans are bad drivers. People here are so much more polite. They'll let you in, keep a space so you can make a left turn across traffic if you need to, they obey school speed limits (I think this one is just because they all know cops like to hang out in school zones) and EVERYONE stops for emergency vehicles. Like actually stops, not just pulls over and slows down a bit. It's weird, I always thought people were being dramatic when they said Utah drivers suck...
Sorry about this weird, slightly rambly post, but I'm just kind of venting I suppose. Things will probably get better as we go along, they always seem to. Classes start on Monday, and that'll give me more to do. I hope anyway... :)
