Texas Summer Highlights

Texas Summer Highlights


Highlight #1: Getting settled in. The blue bags of trash were all packing paper to be recycled
Highlight #2: Dallas Temple
Highlight #3: Outdoor concert and fireworks (& a beautiful sunset)



Highlight #4: Having Robyn (Jeff's sister) visit! The picture on the left was taken in one of the super malls here, in front of a restaurant in the mall, "The Rainforest."

Right: We went to a "Rough Riders" (semi-professional baseball team here) game. We're all wearing our
"Rough Riders" hats.



Highlight #5
: 4th of July. We went with some friends to see fireworks. While we waited we played a round of our favorite game, "Lost Cities." It was our first victory against Craig & Michelle. They were only selling pest control for the summer & are back at BYU now. We miss them!





Highlight #6
: Donating our old kitchen table and getting a "new" one off craigslist. You may be wondering where the table is that we donated...I'll give you a hint...Jeff is sitting on it in the picture. We've found that lots of things are multi-functional. We do miss the filing cabinet, but love having a kitchen table made of wood instead of metal. :0)



Highlight #7: Jeff participating in a screaming contest sponsored by a Spanish radio station here. He hit 126 decibels. Wow! I'm so proud of my little screamer! He earned us a $100 gift certificate at the auto shop, "Viva Mexico!"

In short...we've had a wonderful summer!

  2. Please tell me you aren't really using a filing cabinet for a kitchen table. That's kind of depressing. Looks like you've had some fun times, though. Hope all is well! We're excited to see you soon.

  3. Thanks Alison. I guess I didn't realize that the post wasn't very clear as to whether or not the filing cabinet was the new or old kitchen table. It was the old one. We actually have a wooden kitchen table now...the real deal. I did edit my post so that it makes more sense.

  4. Oooh...ok. I still can't believe you were using a filing cabinet. But I'm glad you found a job! When do you start? I bet you are excited.

  5. I'm so glad you started a blog! I know it seems like just another thing to do, but I really think it is one of the fastest ways to keep family and friends updated all at once. I loved hearing about your summer and I'm going to go buy the Lost Cities game cuz we love new games.
