Happy Birthday Jesse!

Happy Birthday to our sweet Jesse! Jesse is 27 today and I am the proudest wife in the world. I am so proud of the man that he has become. He is such a great friend and leader for me and I feel blessed every second I get to be his wife.

To celebrate we went out to dinner Friday with a few friends at a fun Mexican restaurant called Gloria’s. After dinner we went back to Josh and Hannah’s and had Jesse’s favorite, angel food with strawberries. YUM!

The next day I took Jesse out for a fun day in Dallas. We went to the historic uptown district for breakfast at a place called Bread Winners. It was AMAZING!

Three Words: Bananas Foster Waffle!

Then we drove around the most expensive neighborhood in Dallas, Highland Park, and saw a few big name sports guys’ houses. George Dubya also has a house there :)
We walked around this beautiful park in the neighborhood. There is a creek running through it.

There were weird bear statues in the park …random!

Then we cooled off at an old fashioned soda fountain at Highland Park Pharmacy. Jesse had never been to a soda fountain so that was fun. We had root beer floats and BLT’s.

The last surprise activity I had planned was a trip up to the observation deck of Reunion Tower or “The Ball” but we got there and walked in to find that the deck was closed for renovations :( We decided that for our next special occasion we will eat dinner in the Wolfgang Puck restaurant up there. It revolves and if you stay for 55 minutes you get to see a 360 view of Dallas.
We miss you and can’t wait to see you all next week when we come in for Dana and Jake’s big day! SOOOO EXCITED!!!

We Miss You Already!

Well, we have been here for 1 1/2 weeks. That's really weird to say. I think it still hasn't hit us that we actually live here...we aren't just visiting! This week I helped out my friend Hannah with her two precious children while she was in wedding mania for her sister-in-law's big day. We went to the wedding last night and it was beautiful! Jesse and I had fun talking with new and old friends at the reception. People really are fun and friendly here!

Jesse hit the ground running and started work the day after we moved in. He has only had 2 days off since we moved. Carmax is closed on Sundays here (gotta love living in the Bible Belt!) so he is really enjoying being able to have a church and relax day every week!

So although I might try to post positive things on this blog, don't think that we don't miss you guys! I cried for about 4 hours the first morning we woke up here. haha I'm glad that part didn't last long! Here's a couple of pics from the week before we moved.

We went to our favorite restaurant in Tampa, The Rusty Pelican, for our anniversary. The dolphins were swimming in the bay while we ate. It was nice to breathe easy for a minute!

We had a lot of fun with the siblings at our going away gathering!

We miss you guys!!!

Thanks again Dake and Jana!
