Texas Part 1

Well, as most of you know, last Wednesday I flew out to Dallas, Texas to visit my friend Amy, her husband Paul, and their sweet, sweet baby girl Aubrey! From the time my feet his the Texas soil, we didn't stop. Wednesday night Amy, Aubrey, and I went and met Paul at my favorite, Chipotle prior to small group. To be honest, I was kind of nervous about going and meeting new people but I can't tell you enough how sweet and genuine these couples were. We returned to the house around 10pm and Amy and I stayed up until almost 2am catching up. Needless to say we both regretted that decision the next morning when Aubrey was up and at 'em at 7! Thursday we took our time getting ready, headed out to a mall (one of about 40 in the area), stopped and got some frozen yogurt, and then headed home to meet Paul and rest for the remainder of the night. Friday was probably my favorite day (Saturday was a close second). Amy, Aubrey, and I headed to the Fort Worth Stockyards. This place was what I had pictured Texas looking like. It had cobblestone roads, stores filled with boots and cowboy hats, and the smell of manure (which I totally could've done without). Amy had told me prior that twice a day they clear the main road and have longhorns parade through the streets (now imagine my surprise when this wasn't at all like the Running of the Bulls-which is what I had pictured in my head the whole time)...no, there were about 15 of them just leisurely walking at their own pace but nonetheless, it was totally worth the drive and gave me my "Texas experience" (plus I got to see where the Bachelor was filmed last season)!
