I am convinced that God has a peculiar (and at times, warped) sense of humor, allowing me to have particular “experiences” for the first time in the past few weeks:
- Adina and I (with the boys) were officially “mooned” by a group of young adults in a Chevy Tahoe while driving in our Toyota Sienna. Fortunately, David and Connor were glued to a movie on the DVD player and missed the entire fiasco.
- I killed my first cockroach over two inches in length. The accuracy of my long-distance shoe throwing still is baffling my mind.
- We hosted a funeral at our church in Sweetwater, and it was not until after the service that I discovered that my suit pants were unzipped the entire time.
- While filling a prescription at a nearby pharmacy in Sweetwater, an elderly man (at least 70 years old) walks into the pharmacy wearing bright blue crocs – BRIGHT BLUE CROCS IN SWEETWATER,
- I learned the true meaning of two phrases I had never heard before: “talking to a man about a horse” and “riding a cotton pony.”

So, what do those two phrases mean?
Ellie - you don't want to know, trust us.
And now, Than (& family), we can finally, and officially, welcome you to Texas.
A couple points of note:
1) You would not have been mooned if you drove American.
2) Those "cockroaches" are lovingly referred to as water bugs. And despit how it is often said - "waterburger" - Whataburger does not make their burgers out of those "roaches." Though, "water-bug-er" is awful, awful close. But, just in case, stick to the coffee and you'll be ok.
Have a great Thanksgiving - looking forward to our visit.
