A few weeks ago mom came up to visit and I had the pleasure of playing tour-guide (and a very good one, if I do say so myself) and showing her around my new digs. We saw pretty much all of Dallas in 2 days, and while exhausted, we had a blast. I took her to see Beauty and the Beast at my theatre where she got the special tour (led by moi)...
We also spent an afternoon in one of those paint-your-own-pottery joints making tile trivets for my new kitchen! I think they came out great! (once again, not biased at all!)

After mom's visit to the Big D it was my turn to head down to Boremont and pack for the big move coming up soon. It was a jam-packed weekend full of bubble wrap, paint, and rubbermaid boxes! It's getting exciting preparing for my first apartment and me and dad even got to try our hand at refinishing furniture...HGTV style!
I've had quite a few adventures recently in the Big D...
My bud Kevin invited me to my first ever Cowboys game and it was a blast!
There was also a Red Bull exhibit at the Galleria featuring works of art made entirely of Red Bull cans...It was pretty cool!
And sadly, I also attended a fish funeral...in true Texan fashion, we held a funeral for Parker's dear fish Pearl right out in the front yard...the whole dirt-tossing, let's-say-a-few-words, shabang. Really. LOL It was actually quite sweet, but trying to be serious and overlook the humor of the situation was really quite a task!
So there ya have it...fish funerals, Red Bull ants, Cowboys stadium, pottery, and Broadway....we have it all in the Big D!
