Actually it's only Dr Pepper, Texas for 2 weeks out of the year, they change all the signs and the postal addresses. Every other day its Dublin, Texas...population 3,873. If you look on a map you won't find much near it. We drove 2 1/2 hours just to get there and we already live in a sort of small town. Our friends the Carroll's are DP fanatics, or so I think because they made a clock out of Dr Pepper pop cans. Anyways, we went to the original DP factory that still runs once a week. They still make DP with imperial sugar instead of the fake stuff, I can't taste a huge difference, but people travel all the way to this place to stock up on the original stuff...The Carroll's happen to be two of those people. We did buy some DP cake mix, we'll see how that tastes. This town is just like you might imagine a small Texas town, I wish I would have taken some pics of the down home places we saw on the way there...and I saw my first Texas longhorns.

Sean was excited, I think the tour girl had a crush on him. I was just listening intently as always...Joni will slap me for that one.

They gave us some free samples, Joni looks like its already sinking in.

Get in my belly!!! It smelled like poop right there though so the moment was ruined.

We look so relaxed...two seconds earlier Joni was sprinting over to me in order to get into the picture. This picture sreams small town Texas...where's my hat and some straw to put in my mouth? Waitin for Billy Bob to come pick me up in his truck so we can go shoot some rabbits...wait, that's Vernal. HAHA.

I actually like this picture a lot, Joni is so good.

Tomorrow we are going apartment hunting again, that's right, and we just got settled in. Long story, but we never signed an actual contract (not our fault), and we want to take advantage of the moment to move somewhere closer to school and Joni's work but still be in the ward. We live out on the edge of town between the Juvi center and the prison because Joni was going to have to commute to Waco. Now that she has a job in town it makes no sense to live clear out here. I absolutely hate moving, probably because we have moved 6 times in the last 3 1/2 years, but this should be the last time we have to move on our own (I expect my next job to move us). I feel like we'll never settle down and buy a house because all of the places I am looking into for employment have a 2 or 3 year leadership development program that involes a substantial move about every 8 months., oh well. We love getting to know the world...I mean the U.S...whatever.

With all my midterms out of the way, all I have now are group projects and finals to look forward to, its excting. Joni is done with her test, things are getting normal again around our place. We got memberships to Sam's Club yesterday, and now we have a two years supply of Starbursts. I was thinking about buying a bucket of pickles even though I hate them just because of how cool it would be to show everyone my bucket of pickles. Candy is the best thing in the world for a 13 year old Sunday school class, good thing they like Starbursts.
