A Young Wife’s Tale

My cousin, Merry, and her sisters created this New Jersey Housewives Kit. Merry also wrote and sang this song for me. It’s to the tune of “The Yellow Rose of Texas”.

She’s a yellow rose of Texas
And she’s moving far from home
Those crazy Jersey housewives
Will soon call her one of their own
But girl they’re very different, Big hair and everything
So here’s a Jersy housewife kit to get you settled in.

Well we survived our first week in New Jersey. If I were to give you directions to our apartment here, the final step would be to turn right between the liquor store and the dry cleaners. We’ve made lots of Chris Farley jokes about living in a van down by the liquor store this week.

Saturday we arrived in New Jersey. David’s parents picked us up at the airport. They had driven up in our car with Henry. They really love their son. Henry was happy to see us, but he seems to have really bonded with Grandma and Grandpa. I hear he got to drink coffee and eat french fries.

We’re still not sure where we’re going to live in New Jersey. We have found a rental property manager for our house here in Dallas. He was such a nice man. Our house is a disaster right now. It’s covered in boxes and we have stuff spread out all over the floor. He said, “This is a clean house. It will show really well.” Bless his heart. Just pray we find renters immediately!

David has accepted a job in New Jersey. We are so grateful God has provided David with another job. Moving from Dallas, Texas to New Jersey is a little bit overwhelming. We have a lot to do in two weeks. Any tips?
