Here I am in Texas! I am spending the weekend in Dallas/Fort Worth visiting family and my best friend and her husband. This is the first time Jeremy and I have been in different states since our wedding on June 30. Love you, honey!
I went to my first state fair today, and I REALLY feel like I got a real taste of Texas!
"Big Tex" is the GIGANTIC mascot of the Texas State Fair. I think he looks kind of creepy...

Three of Jeremy's siblings and their families live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. When I come down to visit about twice a year, I get to see everybody at once. I love it!
Bethany picked me up at the airport on Thursday night, after I feverishly worked on my informal wedding picture album the whole flight to Texas! I wanted to have it done for everybody to be able to look at while I was here. After she picked me up, we went to Cheddar's for spinach dip and tortilla chips, and a famous cookie monster dessert - it was wonderful!
We spent Friday with my sister-in-law, Tiffany, getting massages, eating and chatting at Panera, and shopping at Bethany's favorite thrift store, Thrift Town! We got some AWESOME deals! I got clothes and household items to die for! We had tacos and watched "Housesitter" with Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin last night - very hilarious!
Tomorrow we are having breakfast at Cracker Barrel with my Jeremy's siblings...my new family...and with Dave and Bethany. Can't wait!
