It's official, we're in El Paso!
It feels a bit surreal to say that or to even be here. It seemed like it was just something we'd always talk about but I never imaged it would actually come. We're here for two reasons: so Jordan can attend medical school and so we can find a killer tasting burrito. Or at least I'm hoping for the later during our 4 year venture here. So far we're doing awesome. We hit a small stumbling block on our drive down when Jordan was battling a 2 day headache that wouldn't go away with headache medicine. After a few phone calls to the good ole Kartchner family doctors we finally concluded he had a sinus infection. So thanks to those who helped out so Jordan could get relief from his headache and we could get back on the road to finish the drive. But despite that we're doing fabulous. The people down here are the most friendly I've come across, makes me feel like I need to take lessons from the Latino community in being outgoing and welcoming. They trump Americans in their friendliness, hands down. So perhaps lesson #1 from El Paso would be to becoming more friendly and welcoming to newcomers. There's always lessons to be learned, right?
No pictures yet, but I'll change that soon. Just for now I wanted to give our El Paso shout out. So far we're very happy at our new home. :)
