Happy Anniversary To Us!

Well its officially been a year, and a week now, but a year, and we did get to go on our retreat to San Antonio, and it was a blast. Greg managed to get a day pass for Friday, so we got up early, went to the gym, and left shortly after that. Got into San Antonio around 2:30 and spend the afternoon wandering around the Riverwalk. We ate the most delicious sushi I have ever had at this place called Zushi Sushi, then we wandering around the riverwalk until late just enjoying the lights and the people, and the atmosphere.

Saturday we got to go to Sea World. Watch the shows, see the animals, goof off like two young people in love. :-) If you want a good birth control option though, go to Sea World, and then the next morning go to the zoo. Let me tell you, it makes you question ever wanting to be a parent. Little angry screaming children, still not my thing. So kids will still be quite a ways off.

They've been sending Greg TDY lots lately, which is fine, just gets a bit lonely in Texas. Hopefully soon they'll let him stay home for two weeks at a time before sending him out to the desert. Lots of love to all my family and friends too far away to chill with. I miss all of you!

Carrots and Peas

So last weekend we got to go to Dallas. Heather managed to get everyone to miss their flight, so me and Greg got to spend Thursday night and most of Friday alone wandering the city just waiting for them to arrive. We finally made it to our hotel Thursday night pretty late, and all we did was go downstairs to the restaurant to eat, and then head to bed. We decided we were gonna get up early, go downtown and check out the farmers market before their flight got in. Well, we ended up coming back with 2 mangos, a pineapple, some apple plums, 10 limes, 4 prickly pears (which I haven't attempted to eat or juice yet but google says they are yummy), 7 zucchinis, and about 20 cucumbers. The cucumber lady misunderstood us, we said one basket and she gave us 2 anyway. Which is fine, we made the Marquardt creamy cucumbers and Zach was in heaven. It was so cool though, all the places were giving out free samples of their products, and everything was so cheap and just so delicous. I wish there was a good farmers market a bit closer to Abilene, but I guess I'll just enjoy the trips to Dallas a little more. OOh!! We also bought a jar of the most delicious cherry jam I have ever had! Sorry Grandpa Ed, it even beats yours.

So on our way back to the hotel from the market, we find out they missed their flight, and wouldn't be in until 10pm that evening, so we decided to go to the hotel, drop the food off, and then head over to the Galleria Mall. This mall is 4 stories, with a 5 GUYS and an indoor skating rink, so we got some burgers, and watched the future figure skaters of America. Then naptime, picked them up, and went into town to have some fun and experience some Dallas clubs.

Saturday we spent wandering downtown, and then Heather, Zach and Lyndsey got to come back to Abilene and experience some good ol Texas two step. It was lots of fun. Sunday was a chill day, we all just hung out and didn't do a whole lot, though we did take them to see the Prairie Dogs at Red Bud Park. ITs pretty neat. Someone at one point in time decided in the middle of a city park to just put this prairie dog exhibit thing. Just random in the center of the park. Its amazing to me that they stay there, the fence is only about 2 feet high. Monday we played pool, there happened to be a 9 ball tournament going on that was free to join, so all the guys decided to do it, and of course Zach took home the first placed trophy. Tuesday we took them back to Dallas, and away they went until their next adventure down to Texas.

Great weekend :)
