I just found this AWESOME hotel, located right here in downtown Dallas. “Only” $250/night!
Adobe Living in New Mexico
This is not along the line of baby stuff, but I just had to post it. How much do you want this house right now? Or does the idea of living “off the grid” not appeal to you at all? I think there’s a part of me that will always want a house like this, even if it never happens.
Discount Grocery Store
You will not believe what Jesse just found– a discount grocery food store that opened right near us here in Euless. Their website is amazing– not only do they have a million recipes, but they also let you add them to a weekly meal plan. Then, it churns out a grocery shopping list for you. You can pick a dietary need (such as vegan!), and it will pull up a ton of recipes, along with consumer ratings and a scale size button (so you can multiply it for larger parties!). You can also submit your own recipes…seriously cool. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?
Go ahead, check it out! Maybe they have a location near you!
Thanksgiving 2009
This year, Jesse and I decided to spend Thanksgiving with his Uncle, Fr. Peter Smith. Normally, it would be an 8 hour drive to Wichita, Kansas, but 7 days ago Fr. Peter, his wonderful wife Collette, and his two kids Maria (10) and Nicholas (4), all moved to a suburb of Austin, TX, to take over a parish that just lost their priest to a car accident. So, as of 7 days ago, we now have wonderful family living only 3 hours away from us!!
Not only was it wonderful getting to meet their family, but have you ever been to Austin?? It’s GORGEOUS. It’s been compared to downtown San Luis Obispo since it has the quaint, quirky and fun college town feel (hello UTexas!) but it’s a big city and the capitol of Texas. As far as the terrain, it’s situated right in the heart of the “rolling hills of Texas”. It actually reminds me a lot of where I grew up, only, much much cheaper, and with a big city attached. Apparently the music scene is pretty thriving there as well- it’s called the “Live Music Capitol of the World”.
Lest you doubt me:
Jesse’s uncle Joel lives near his parish in Dripping Springs, a small town about 20 min. to the West of Austin proper. It’s fantastic country out there, just gorgeous:
