If you've been following the news lately, you'll know that Texas has had a huge influx of rain lately.  And by "influx," I mean, massive amounts of rain all at one time !  In the Dallas area, we've had weeks of consecutive days with rain/storms/tornadoes.  It's become a normal thing to hear my phone blaring flood warnings at all hours.  All vegetation is green and lush , but it's also squishy and saturated . Occasionally, we will have a day when the sun comes up, but it feels almost abnormal now; like I'm a vampire who has become unaccustomed to the sunlight. All this rain is a mixed blessing. Texas is not built for so much moisture.  We just aren't used to it ya'll!  There are so many Texas cities experiencing flooding and homes have had so much damage in the last few weeks.  I have several coworkers that have missed work just so that they can fight water from pouring into their homes (ripping up carpet and tearing up wood floors - not co

Jordan and I had such a great break last weekend with Mom, Dad, Scott, and Elizabeth.  We'd been talking about going dancing for a few weeks (or maybe months?) and finally scheduled it for Mother's Day weekend!  We all live in different areas of the Metroplex so it takes lots of effort and time to plan these things!  The 6 of us hit up downtown Fort Worth and had a blast! I peer pressured everyone into taking some group pictures and couple pictures.  The top photo is one of my favorites but we probably should have rearranged ourselves.  You can barely see Mom back there and this was the best shot of several. All our guys look handsome and it was a total coincidence that Jordan and Scott wore such similar shirts. Downtown Fort Worth has some really cool sites.  You can ride a mechanical bull, buy a cowboy hat from small vendors or eat awesome Tex-Mex at the local restaurants.  We all had a yummy dinner at a place called Habanero's!

Hi everyone!  I don't have much time this morning, but I want to share a few pictures from last weekend.  The weather was gorgeous in the Dallas area, unlike today.  We've had several threatening storms that past few weekends.  It's pretty scary sometimes, but hopefully the lakes start to fill up. We started our weekend off by doing a little garage sale hopping in the area.  My favorite kind of sales are community wide.  Usually there are lots of good finds and it's like hitting 10 garage sales at once.  We did find a community sale, but unfortunately we didn't get any loot at that particular sale.  Maybe I'm too much of a diva but I just didn't feel like digging through the stuff at this sale.  Last weekend, our luck came instead, from the smaller household garage sales.
