Dallas, Again.

Last weekend Pat and I were able to go visit Maddie and Matt in Dallas. It was so fun to see them!! We did so many fun things, and I only took 4 pictures the whole time. Highlights from the trip:
  • Maddie and Matt spoke in church the Sunday we were there. They did terrific.
  • Sleeping on an air matteress with Pat.
  • Eating the best sushi I've ever had.
  • Going to a restaurant called Hattie's. Not only do I LOVE the name, but the food was delicious too.
  • Matt's homemade hashbrowns and eggs. So yummy.
  • Spending 4.5 hours at a warehouse sale getting Maddie approximately 10 lamps for her house. They are literally in every corner or nook you can imagine in her apartment. They look really great though! :)
  • Finally seeing The Lovely Bones. I LOVED IT!!
  • Watching a small portion of the Golden Globes.
  • Buying a FABULOUS skirt from Anthropologie. I can't wait to wear it.
  • Pat's class she gave to Maddie, Matt, and I on how to use a paper cutter (see last picture).
  • Driving through the ghetto of Dallas and for the first time in my life wishing Matt's gun were present.
  • Going to the creepiest antique shop I've ever seen. Straight out of The Strangers (the scary movie that changed my life...for the worse).
  • Experiencing 5 guys without fry sauce...all I have to say is I don't like ketchup.



Thanks for letting us visit, you guys! It was a blast and I'm sure I'll be back very soon. Sweet Matt was supposed to go out of town for work the weekend I was in Dallas. His trip got cancelled last minute, which was the only downer of the vacation. He could of come and partied with us in the big D.

Another trip?!?! The next one better be to visit me! It's true 5 guys without fry sauce is sad. Jesse and
I discussed this last week in fact while we were there eating! There was some weirdo outside our apt the other night and it was the ONLY time I was glad Jesse had his gun and I made him being it into our room! Oh I miss you!

wait that was me above but i had a typo and had to start over - oh my gosh i can't believe you forgot to include driving home from dallas with the gps on avoid highways. haha. i feel that was one of the better moments of the trip and i wasn't even with you. come back. life is much better with you here (that sounds like a sext (and yes, i mean sext) you'd send to your husband:) hands down best weekend i've had in dallas.
