Weekend in Dallas!

Hi! We have been in Dallas all weekend and had a great time! Friday morning we headed out for the 6 1/2 hour drive to Texas.

We got there around 4 that afternoon and were planning on meeting Will for dinner, but he didn't get off work until 6. We had some time to spare so of course we headed to the outlets in Allen.  I have never been to TX and not made a trip to these outlets. The mall is HUGE...it is one of my favorite places to shop :) After shopping, we headed to visit some of Michelle's friends that also just recently moved to Dallas. They live in the most gorgeous neighborhood! Will met us there and we all went out to dinner. They took us to a local restaurant called The Porch...it was delicious and the atmosphere was so fun!

After dinner, I got to visit my sweet friend Elizabeth!! We all went over to her apartment. It was so good to see her and hang out for a while. I finally got to see her apartment, which is sooo cute, and meet her dog Jake! I really miss living with her.

Saturday, was of course like any other Saturday....designated for ARKANSAS football!
Even though we were in Dallas, we still supported our razorbacks! It wasn't quite the same as living in northwest Arkansas on game day, but we still had fun! We went over to Michelle's friends house to watch the game. We had bww and all the typical "football food". It was a great Saturday afternoon, and another win for the Hogs! We are looking forward to the Alabama game next weekend!


That evening we went and meet with a relator and looked at houses for Will and Michelle. It was a lot of fun going around all the different areas of Dallas and going in houses.  It will definitely be an overwhelming process for Will and Michelle, but I know they will eventually find the perfect house! As much as I am going to miss them living a mile away, I think they are going to like Dallas! And that just means more trips to Dallas for me :)
After looking at houses, we headed to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner! On our way, Will stopped and showed us his new office.



Sunday, we looked at more house in the morning, and later than afternoon we headed home. It was such a fun trip and cant wait to make many more!
This morning, Mitch and I played golf and then just have been doing stuff around the house. We don't have a lot going on this week, but my parents and brother are coming up this weekend. They have not been up here since we have the house all decorated and I am excited to show them! 

For dinner we are having chicken enchiladas. Here is the recipe...

Prep time: 15 min
Cooking time: 40 min
Yield: 4 serving

3 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
Sprinkle of garlic salt
Sprinkle of chili powder
8 (8 in) flour tortilla
Vegetable cooking spray

Topping sauce: 
1 cup sour cream
Salsa
Diced tomato
Chopped avocado
Velveeta cheese (you can make as much as you want, but I usually use about half of the velveeta)


Stir together first 5 ingredients. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla, and roll up. Arrange in a lightly greases 13x9 baking pan. Coat tortilla with vegetable spray.
Back at 350 for 35-40 min or until golden brown.
For the topping sauce: Melt cheese and mix in sour cream and as much salsa as you desire. When the enchiladas are done baking, spoon mixture over each of them. Sprinkle tomatoes and avocados over top.

Have a wonderful week!
