First Christmas tree!


Me and Dallas made up our minds that we were not going to spend too much money on a Christmas tree this year. We started looking on craigslist to see if we could get a good deal but every time we found one and called, it was already gone. One morning Dallas was sitting on the computer trying to find one and he hit the refresh button and there was a listing for a free Christmas tree, the same size and type we were looking for. We were so excited, we jumped on the car and went to their place hoping that they still had it. When we got there and the guy saw our little car (mazda protege), he tried not to laugh and commented that it might not fit. We didn't care, so we just put the tree in the back seat and since the door wouldn't shut all the way, he had to bungee it shut. It was so cold that day so we were driving home freezing with the heater on full blast and the door half wide open. Good thing it was only a 5 mile drive. They were giving it away because only 40% of the lights worked on it, so we just had to buy a few strands, now it works perfect.
We LOVE our tree and we had so much fun picking the decorations and decorating it. Now we can't wait till Christmas!!

Dallas' new cleats

So Dallas has been begging me for new cleats for a year now because he said his old ones were so worn out. I kept resisting to the idea until one saturday morning he came home with what use to be his cleats. They were completely torn apart. He was so SAD! haha they were his high school football cleats from his senior year.. not that he got to use them much that year =( He still had a hard time parting with them. I seriously told him that it was just his cunning plan to get new cleats. Still to this day I think he broke them apart the night before he went and played flag football. Anyhow, I finally agreed on buying him new cleats so we went to the store, and as usual, took way too long deciding what to get. If you know us, you'll know that we're not the best couple on making fast decisions. Well this time was not the exception. Poor guys at the store stayed there 30 mins after closing hours cause my wonderful husband couldn't make up his mind! way too many choices. After a long process he finally decided to get a pair of pumas that he happened to see 10 min before we left the store. He absolutely loves them and he can't wait till each saturday morning so he can use them. Look at his face! I swear our kids are going to be the biggest pouters thanks to my hubby! Luv ya babe!

Halloween

So for Halloween we went to Scott and Connie's place. We had a blast. I don't know what me and Dallas were talking about before we got there, but he was accusing me of not being able to say no to sweets. As soon as we got there, Connie had made home made oreo cookies and that was the first thing Dallas started eating, he couldn't stop, so that made me feel a little better ;)
We had tons of food and it was very fun to hang out that night even though we had to go back to work and school the next day.

We're becoming Stars fans



I guess one of the good things of having a super nice boss is that we get free tickets for sporting events. Last week he took the whole office and their families to a professional hockey game, Dallas Stars. It was our third time going to a Stars game. The second time we got tickets for one of the suites, it was really nice. It's so fun to have co-workers that are good friends too. We had so much fun! We were really close so that made it very exciting. It's amazing how fast they ice skate and move the puck at the same time. It was a good game, we whooped them =)

Having fun in San Antonio






We didn't really get a vacation because Dallas was studying for part 1 boards. So we decided to treat ourselves with a little vacation a week after school started. We left September 13th, San Antonio is just a 4 1/2 hour drive from Dallas. We went to The Alamo, the riverwalk, the market and Sea World. The Sillito family went with us and we had so much fun. We rode on the Gondolas and we had dinner on the Riverwalk and it was really good! Our favorite part of the trip was Sea World. We got to touch dolphins, we saw sharks and Shamu (killer whale), and lots of other cool animals, our favorite show was where Sea Lions played the roles of detectives and did amazing acrobatics, it was hilarious. San Antonio is beautiful and such a fun place to go to. On our way back we stopped in New Braunfels to see the river Guadalupe and one of the top water parks in America, Schlitterbahn. We didn't get to go in but it looked really fun. The water park is huge and some of the water comes from the river next to it. The river is so pretty and clear. Hopefully we can go back soon and do some more fun stuff there.
