A little private party

March 28, 2013

A while back I downloaded the Eventbrite app onto my phone for a particular event and then got really excited about finding fun and free things to go to. While searching I found a company that was putting on a party for their 15th anniversary (it was free) so I rsvp’d Walker and I to the event and we got in (with about 1,000 other people but still).

It was nice to have an excuse to get a little dressed up and hit the town. It was also a nice night so we decided to walk. While their we enjoyed champagne, treats, and a tour around the museum of History and Industry where the event was held.

Walking home turned out to be almost as fun as the entire evening. I had TLC’s No Scrubs stuck in my head so I blared it from my phone and we danced all goofy. I was especially excited when we stumbled upon a fish eye mirror-pictures! Overall it was a pretty fun night and you can bet I’ll be checking my app for more fun things to do around this city.

Chicken scratch (this really great place in Dallas)

March 20, 2013

We chose to fly out of Dallas late this past Sunday so we could meet up with some other good friends of ours before going home. They took us to lunch at a place called Chicken Scratch. It’s am amazing mix of food and beer garden. Add to that the Texas sun and warmth and seriously I could’ve spent all day there.

On a recommendation I got the chicken tenders and fries. The seasoning was…so…good. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about them. Oh my. We didn’t spend all day there but we did hang around for some time. It was so nice catching up with friends and talking about what’s to come for our futures. Exciting and scary!

It’s one of those afternoons you’re sad that you live so far away from the places and people you love but I sure am glad to have such a huge appreciation for both. An appreciation that sometimes doesn’t happen until you are separated. Basically I miss my friends, I miss Texas, I miss being warm all the time but I’m so happy to have and to have had these things in my life. Feeling pretty nostalgic I guess.

Texas we miss you

March 19, 2013

This past weekend we got to head to Texas for a friend’s wedding. All week Walker and I were so excited to head out. We knew the weather was going to awesome, the food was going to be so good, and we were going to see some of our good friends that we miss dearly.

We took a red eye to maximize our time there but that meant we arrived in Texas at 5 am without a wink of sleep. Luckily we got to check in super early. We took a nap and promptly headed to the pool and the sun. We were in heaven. The sun felt so good and we were so warm. I’d have stayed out there all day if I didn’t think I’d turn into a crisp.

We also hit up a local Mexican joint for some texmex and a Mexican martini. Little did we know we’d be eating Mexican food the entire weekend, but really I’m not complaining. We relaxed the rest of the day and got ready for the wedding activities.

We had the rehearsal dinner Friday night, a brunch the day of the wedding and then the wedding and the reception. The reception was held at the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth so I took a gander around a few galleries before getting my dance and drink on. It was a lot of fun and it all went by much, much too quickly. When can we go back?!
