Okay, so my biggest complaint about Louisiana is the insects. They are out of control. They are everywhere, and the worst thing about them is they all bite. I bet some of you northerners didn't even know that ants and flies bite people. Well they do along with the millions of mosquitoes that are here.
So, Brody had his 1st encounter with a cockroach last night. Seriously, this thing was the size of my fist. I opened the door for one second to throw out the trash and it came in. I knew it was Brody's 1st time seeing a cockroach, because he asked what it was, and if it could fly (I actually think he was mistaking it for a crow, because it was so big). We had no Raid, because I assumed we were safe living on the 2nd floor of an apartment, plus the management sprays for bugs, and we are 20 feet above ground (wait maybe the cockroach did fly up here). I got the vacuum out and told Brody if the cockroach tried to make a run for it to vacuum it up. I quickly went to the store and got Raid and we killed that sucker. I'm sure it will not be the last time this happens, but now I am prepared. Thank you Raid.

I feel your pain, only we're dealing with crickets and spiders! I hate it!
When I first arrived here a year ago, I made a top 10 things that I liked and disliked. Number 1 on my list was the bugs. Cockroaches are my nightmare. One night while we were in bed, a cockroach fell on Justin's hand. I didn't sleep for the rest of the night. It is a wild place down here.
eww. I hate bugs. I feel creepy just thinking about them. I am sorry you have to live with them. So here's a good idea, move to Utah. It will solve your bug problem.
Uggg bugs the size of your fist and they all fly and bite sounds miserable! I guess I can't complain about mosquitoes and the occasionally spiders we get here! :)
Ethan started Head Start again with Ms. Leisa. She says HI to Baylor! Ethan said that he will miss his Baylor school buddy. :)
Oh that is so funny! YUCK!!! I hate bugs too! We are doing good. Montana is OK and the kids are doing well in school, except for when Trey is getting bullied! It has been way hard for him, but things are getting better! We have met some people, but they are not as cool as you and Sarah! But I guess I will survive! We miss you guys!
Yes, here on Louisiana You can find any insect and sizes too…
Oh my goodness. Now I know I can definitely not live in Louisiana.
I had a great time in Texas too, btw! My brother lives in Spring, north of Houston. Where in TX is your family?
