Texas!!

Last Friday morning we headed to Dallas to spend the weekend with Will and Michelle! But before I talk about our trip, let me tell you what I did Thursday. I randomly got up the courage to cut my hair. For those of you who know me, I love long hair, and I really don't know why, but I decided I needed a change. I have had really long hair for the majority of my life, and as much as I love it, I just thought a change would be good.  When I walked into the salon and was telling my hair lady that I was going to go short... all the ladies in the salon came running over and they all tried to talk me out of it. Ha! But I was set on cutting it and well I got 7 inches cut off and got bangs!! It is taking some time to get use to, but when it grows an inch or two I think I will really like it! So here is a picture of my new hair...


So now on to our trip! We got up early and left for Dallas around 7. It is about a 5 1/2-6 hour drive so we had to leave early to get there by lunch. When we got there, we met my good friend Elizabeth at the Galleria for lunch. We ate at Five Guys, which is a burger place. I really like it, but it is Mitch's favorite!! So he was excited to eat there.


We stayed at the Galleria and hung out with Elizabeth for a couple of hours. Even though we talk a lot, it is so nice when I get to spend time with her! She also recently cut off all her hair and bought a cr-v. So we are twins! Ha!


Here we are with our identical cars! It was so funny when we both found out!

Later that day, we headed to Will and Michelle's new house! It is so nice!! Moving into a new house is so much fun, but I know it can be super stressful! I know what their going through, but it is worth it in the end! We also got to see their dog Peanut! I love their dog... and it being around her makes me want one so much more!


That night for dinner, we ate at a mexican restaurant and it was really good! And of course after dinner, we went and got frozen yogurt!
The next day, Michelle and I got up and went shopping. We have such similar taste so it is a lot of fun to go shopping together! When we got home, we got ready and headed to Ft. Worth. We were going for Billy Bob's, but wanted to spend the afternoon at the Stockyard District. I have been looking for a new pair of cowboy boots, and they have a Justin Boot outlet there, so we went there, but came home with nothing :( After that we headed to the Stockyards and were going to hang out there until Billy Bob's opened.


After we walked all around, we decided to find a place for dinner. There were a lot of steak houses and we just randomly picked one. It was a good one, not only because the food was outstanding, but when we sat down our hostess had to ask our permission to be in that room because they were going to be filming. It was a pretty small room and in the middle was a huge table and there were smaller tables around it, which is what we were at. We flagged down our waiter and asked him what they were filming and he said an episode of House Hunters!!!! I was so excited... I love that show and watch it all the time! We have yet to figure out why they were in a restaurant, but we didn't care. It was so cool to see! Now we are trying to figure out when it airs!
After dinner, we headed to Billy Bob's. I have been wanting to go for years and so I was pretty excited!


I love country music and line dancing!! When we were in college, Mitch and I would go an hour away to Tumbleweed ... They had two-stepping and line dancing. We loved it!! This place was the same concept except like 20 times larger!! It was awesome! I think I need to move to the south.. I could easily get use to doing that on a regular basis!

On Sunday we were all tired from the night before, so we slept in and stayed inside all day! It was nice to have a lazy day and just relax! Michelle wanted to get some stuff done around the house, so we put the boys to work and went and got groceries for dinner and went to Lowes and picked out all her new light fixtures! I remember picking all our lights out for our house, and when its all done its exciting, but the process is stressful! So while we were there we tried to help out and hung all her lights! Peanut helped me put one of them together...


That night Michelle made us enchiladas, which were delicious and we watched the Golden Globes!
Also that night the Australian Open started, and it is always on odd hours throughout the night.. so if you want to watch it, you usually have to stay up really late. So Mitch and I stayed up and watched a few matches!

Monday we did more shopping! We were planning on going home Monday afternoon, but decided to stay another day! So went to the outlets and did some shopping and made a trip to BJ's for dinner! Mitch and I loved going there for dinner when we lived close to OKC, and we miss it so much! We love their food, but they have one of our favorite desserts there... The Pazookie! It is a large, very undercooked cookie with scoops of ice cream on top!


Between all four of us... it was gone pretty quick!
Tuesday we headed back to B'ville. We had such a good time and can't wait to go back!!
Tonight and tomorrow we are suppose to get a lot of snow. I never know if it will really happen, but I am praying they are wrong! I was telling Michelle I need to go back to Texas where it is warmer and snows less! Ha!

I hope y'all are having a good week!
