Day 1 of our trip to the U.S.






Hello world!
We are in Texas. Since Thanksgiving, things seem to have gone really fast.
We left our house on Monday and left Port on Tuesday morning at 11:00am.
Our flights went well.
We were at customs in Ft. Lauderdale for like 2 hours. Nixon got to translate for Customs which was really cool. He liked doing it. My husband is so amiable, he made friends everywhere we went and of course wearing his Texas Longhorns shirt got him plenty of comments.
We arrived at 11:00pm last night in El Paso and then went to Village Inn. We stayed up really late talking and all but woke up at 7am, after sleeping like 4 hours. We are doing well though, not too out of it.
Today we went grocery shopping, Nixon met my sisters and their kids, ate Mexican food at a Mexican restaurant, had Mexican sweet bread at my sister Cynthia's house, went to see Old Dogs at a really nice theater. Nixon is presently playing video games with his 7 year old nephew Eduardo. Eduardo really likes Nixon.
Nixon is doing well but he is cold. He refuses to drink any cold drinks and defintely avoids ice. He is really having a great time.
Although I surprisingly dont see any culture shock.
We did specifically pray against that though. God is good. Will update more soon.
I am definitely in awe of God's goodness in being able to be here.
We still both feel like it is a dream.
