It may look like nothing has been done to the lot, but there has!! There used to be this big mound of something and there used to be 2 trees right smack dab in the middle of the lot. If you look closely, there's a tractor on the lot!! WOOHOO!!!!!
We're waiting on our permit and then will will break ground and build that bad boy!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!
We move out of our apartment at the end of November...it happens to fall right when we go on our anniversary trip! GEEZZ....
The cool thing...we get to move in with Natasha and Thomas. I hope their new neighbors don't think we are swingers or something. Sorry for the inappropriateness
We had a VERY busy weekend. Unfortunately, the pics I took, can't be posted on the blog.
Friday night, my mom came into town. Peter and I met her at our apartment after work and we headed to the Southlake Town Center. Boy do I love that place. I returned a sweater that she bought me from Anthropologie back in August that has ruined 2 different times (2 different sweaters) at the cleaners. I took the first one back in exchange for another one, and then it also ruined at the cleaners. They gave me my money back, but you know me, I had to exchange for something else....an amazing orange corduroy dress! I can't wait to wear it!!!!!
Then we headed to Truluck's for dinner. I had never been there. It seemed to be the only place that didn't have a wait. We should have known why..the food was expensive! But, mom wanted nice, so we ate nice dadgumit! It did not dissapoint! I had some amazing salmon with this peach salsa and asparagus. I finished off the evening with some pumpkin and cinnamon gelato from Picomolo!! You HAVE to eat the pumpkin ice cream. It might be the most amazing thing I have put in my mouth this month! hahaah! :)
Then on Saturday morning, we headed to Mockingbird bridal to look at wedding dresses for my sister. We found one! No, I'm not stupid enough to post pictures of it on my blog. My sister thought I might! DUH! Then we headed over to North Park! Oh how I love North Park! We browsed around and then got hungry enough to eat some PF Chang's! YUM!!! After we left North Park, we had to take my mom to Sprinkle's cupcakes. I ate a vanilla milk chocolate one this time. It sent me over the edge! I felt sick the REST OF THE DAY! It was to much rich food in a 24 hour period!
Peter and I headed to Wichita Falls around 4ish to attend Henslee's 3rd birthday party. It was a Halloween party! All of the little babies were SO CUTE! I of course got no Henslee time. She was busy. So, I had to get my Layla Grace time in. She was asleep in my arms the whole time keeping me warm!!
Anyways, we got back to Dallas about midnight. A WHIRLWIND of a trip let me tell you!
Sunday, we slept until around 10:30am. It was glorious.
I decided to start practicing my Susie Homeaker skills that day. I made Taco Soup for our small group leaders. Then I made a batch of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. Then I decided I should probably make Peter a late lunch. I decided to make King Ranch Chicken for the first time. We had it for an early dinner on Sunday afternoon and then dinner last night. Apparently I ate to much because I woke up sick around midnight. It finally subsided after an hour and I went back to sleep. I hate it when that happens!!!
So, there was our weekend. Everyone take a deep breath now!
I am looking forward to Halloween night with some old, sweet friends! Apparently, I'm in charge of carving the pumpkin this time.
Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Your trip makes me miss Dallas. I love Southlake Town Square, especially the Anthropologie! Luckily I have one within 10 minutes of our apt. Good luck with your permits, so you can break ground fast!
