Weekend In Dallas

Friday morning we headed to Dallas. Of course, one of our kids woke up with a fever and sore throat. Why does that always happen when you are heading out of town??? Daniel's parents were here to care for the kids so we headed up to big D. We were so excited just to have some adult time with no kids. When we got to Dallas we did some shopping and then checked into the hotel to get cleaned up for the night. We were so excited to see our good friends, Mike and Sheri, who moved to Dallas in May. They had some other friends coming in for the weekend so we were getting together for drinks before dinner. Their house was amazingly beautiful, as I suspected it would be, and it was so fun to be with them again. We miss them!!!


After drinks we met my parents for an excellent steak dinner in honor of Daniel's birthday. (His birthday isn't until Halloween, but this was our chance to celebrate together!) Dinner was delicious, and not to belabor the point, but it was GREAT to have adult time.


Saturday morning we headed off to the fair for the big OU Texas game. The game was a lot of fun. It would have been more fun with a win, but we were just happy to be there cheering them on. Last year, when OU beat Texas, we ding dong ditched Daniel's brother and wife and left some "Texas Sux Beer" on the doorstep. So, although we are hundreds of miles away, we know they are planning something so I will let you know when we get harrassed. We did have to listen to their family sing "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You". So, David and Amy, this post is dedicated to you and your big win!!!!

Looks like a great time, and YES adult time is sooo nice! Not that we don't love those kiddos, but it is so refreshing to have a small break once in awhile. Our kids probably say the same thing about us, ha!
