One Week In

Well it's been one week since my arrival here in San Antonio. Needless to say I've gotten lost a few times; even with GPS, but have managed to get to my destinations eventually. I'm grateful to the guy I call my "Little Brother", I only call him little brother because he's much younger than me. I met Charles through my friendship with his mother. One day when we were talking I stated I wanted to move to San Antonio, and she said her son lives there. He's been such a blessing showing me where to go, what to do, and how things are done down here. I told him my way of showing him my appreciation would be to be in agreement with him for a wife. He says someone in her mid to late thirties and petite. I said to him I'll leave the particulars up to you, but I will pray that God give you a wife well suited for you. I'm grateful also to Pastor and Min. Pearson and my church family here who have made me feel so welcome.

Texas Laws

The motor vehicle and drivers license laws are so different here. First, car insurance must be written as a Texas policy due to the difference in their no fault guidelines; secondly the car must past inspection with the sticker displayed at all times in the lower left corner of the front windshield; thirdly I get my new title,registration and plates from one place and my drivers license from another. I elected to promptly get all this done, especially my drivers license, because when I inquired about college I needed to show that I'm a Texas resident to get the in state tuition rate. The bottom line is, I believed God for six years that I would make San Antonio my home and it has come to past. I will not half step or be slow about anything when it comes to being a true Texan. Yeeha !

My New Life in San Antonio


85 degrees in October is quite an adjustment for me. For the most part the hardest thing has been learning the streets. I-10, 410 Loop, 281 West, etc., oh my ! I've have found the people here to be very recieptive, and so willing to help when I tell them I'm new to the city. I want so much to just jump in and get my lifestyle stable and rolling, but I really will have to slow down and take my time.
