TEXAS

Austin and I moved our little family to Dallas, TX for the summer. Austin is managing a Pest Control office for Safe Home Pest Control and their office is in the DFW area and so here we are!! We actually live in the city of Lewisville, just north of Dallas and it is very nice. Aside from being so far away from family, I REALLY like it here. Anyone who knows me, knows that I much prefer being warm...HOT even, to being cold. So, Texas is perfect...and it is starting to heat up :)

We live really close to a beautiful golf course so Austin is heaven! What's even better about it is that after four pm, he can golf nine holes, rent a cart (complete with electronic score keeper and GPS) and have LOTS of FUN for only $10!! He works late hours so he doesn't get to go very often but he has gone a few times and LOVES every minute of it. Just a couple days after arriving in TX, I got a running stroller. Thanks to my Mom, Taffy, Tami, and Aunt Madonna, I am officially baby mobile...and I LOVE IT! Our first day having the stroller, I decided to go to the golf course with Austin and "watch" him golf with a buddy. Sedona enjoyed the stroller ride and I was happy to be outside, golf "watching" and all.

We also had a fun visit from Grandpa "jojo." Joe drove our Jetta down here for us so that we wouldn't have to drive in seperate cars. What a HUGE blessing and help that was to us. We really appreciated his willingness to do that. As many of you know, the Clift family loves GOOD FOOD. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is one of their favorite FOOD NETWORK shows and so anytime we go somewhere new we always look on the internet to see if DDD has been there. Lucky for us, DDD has come to DFW!! We went to three places while Joe was here...a Lebanese diner, a Jamaican place, and a "TEXAN" place. The Lebanese place was my absolute favorite and we WILL be going back there again...soon :)

Lebanese Grill...wish I would have taken a picture of the food. It was to. die. for. good!

Jamaican Food...not my favorite. These were citrus wings and they were okay, but the ox-tail and the curry-goat....not so yummy.

"Texan" food...whatever that is. We got a delicious bleu cheese burger and it was so tasty! I think, more than anything, the TEXAS atmosphere is just what sells the food. People here are sooooo nice and genuine. I really could live here.

Well, that about sums this one up...I'll post more pics of our little munchkin later. She's SOOOO cute!! Later, y'all :)
