Out and About

Nick got home from work early today so we decided to finally go out and buy a bedroom set!! We never got one in Rexburg because our bedroom was so small it would not have fit. We are very excited to get this set in about two weeks when they deliver it!! It looks a little better in person and we are not getting the entertainment center or tall dresser. We are getting the bed set, the nightstands and a dresser with a mirror.
After we got our bedroom set we went out to eat at a place that was recommended by someone at Nick's work. It is called Rudy's Bar-B-Q. It was pretty good and not very expensive. We were able to eat outside! It was about seven thirty and it was a perfect seventy degrees outside. I love winter in Texas!!! I am a little worried about what summer will bring but I am sure it will be better than Rexburg Winters!!
Here is Nick enjoying his brisket and turkey sandwhich!

Brisket, turkey and bbq sauce!

My favorite, the creamed corn! I actually hate creamed corn but this was the best stuff. It tasted like candy!


Last weekend we went to San Marcos to go shopping at the outlets there. There were a million different stores and it was really fun to walk around until I was almost attacked by an owl!!! It was the middle of the day and it swooped down and hit one of the store windows next to me and then came flying towards us. I stepped behind nick immediately and he keeps making fun of me for being so afraid of birds!! I am just a little traumatized. I will get over it soon.... maybe.

There was this cute litte water way where you could get a preztle and relaz while shopping, so that is exactly what we did!! There were even little bridges over the water kind of like a fake Italy!

Here is where we went to see a movie the other day! It is a cool theater with restaurants and an arcade inside. It is located at "The Rim", a shopping center! I have found at least seven shopping centers within ten minutes of our apartment!! I am very happy here!! The Rim also has Red Robin!! Clucks and fries anyone?

Us waiting for the movie to start!! I think this picture was taken when we saw Ink Heart but we saw Taken at the Palladium. Ink Heart was disappointing. They didn't just ruin the books they completely slaughtered the integrity of the story. They can't even begin to make the second book into a movie because they changed the basic principles that they based the books off of. I don't know why I even see movies made from books anymore, they always dissapoint. Oh well, it was still fun to get out and about!

More adventures to come!! I am probably going to post some of the scrapbooking pages that I made when I went to SLC with my mom two weekends ago. I just need to remember to take pictures!! I will also post some of the furniture when it finally gets into our room!!!

Looks like Texas is lots of fun! I'm excited for you guys! All those shopping centers look awesome - and I agree with Jen ... your bedroom set looks sweet!

Your hair looks so pretty too btw! I love how long it is. Isn't 70 degrees in winter awesome? We've enjoyed a few days of that this week ... and it is great!
