Lubbock or Leave It

I love Lubbock, and I always will. Mark hates Lubbock, and he probably always will.

We went to LUBBOCK a couple weekends ago to visit Zach, Emily, Brandi, etc. and for Holly's baby shower. We got there on Friday night, and I am always up to go out when I get in town no matter what time of day. We met up with Emily and others for her "Lubbock Birthday" since last weekend we celebrated her "Dallas Birthday."

We met them out at Mesquites which is the most boring place in all of Lubbock (other than Luby's) -- sorry. It made me feel old and boring, so we went across the street to Crickets which I LOVE! After we made the switch, I felt much more ALIVE.

Saturday was filled with baby things, the NFL draft, and the Mavs/Spurs game. We also had dinner at Ruby Tequila's (man I love that place), and we played a little football out at the Village Township.

This weekend, Mark and I are heading to Waco to see my family and celebrate Mother's day. We got our wedding DVD finally, and after I watched it I missed my family a lot. So, I cannot wait to be home. PLUS, the pool is being filled with water as we speak and will be SWIMABLE this weekend!!!! I already have my bathing suit packed.

We got bikes this week! Finally... Mark and I both have been wanting bikes, and we broke down and got them! We rode them around in Trinity Park near our apartment, and it was hard but fun. I can't believe after all this time of Mark holding out on me that he finally broke down and let us get them. This is the first bike I have owned since I was probably 7 years old.

That is pretty much all that is going on these days. I hope that I can get back into a groove of posting more often, but I just can't seem to find the time.

Megan, Mark and Stanley

Let me preface this post with a conversation that Mark and I had today which ended in us debating on what our most valuable posession is: our tv or our cars?

Stanley, our beautiful 52" Samsung LCD TV, is our wonderful, bright, joyful child and the apple of our eye. We recently go into watching Weeds, and it is definitely our new favorite show. We have to wait a while until Season 4 comes out on Blu Ray, so we joined Netflix to keep us interested until then.

Netflix is the best deal ever! It saves so much money on renting movies from Blockbuster, and they have all the Blu Rays you could possibly want!

We haven't just been sitting around watching TV all day every day though. We went the Amarillo last weekend for Easter, and it was so great being there with EVERYONE! We went to Palo Dura Canyon, did a couple Easter Egg Hunts, played games, ate great food, and visited with the Bean Family!!

I like going away for the weekend, but then we have we have weekends like this one here in DFW, and I realize that we live in such a great city. I have spent a lot of this weekend cleaning unfortunately, but our apartment really needed it. It still needs more, but it seems much more managable at this point. I wish we could keep things in order as we live day to day, but my husband doesn't seem to share in that sentiment.

This coming weekend - we head to LUBBOCK! I am so excited about seeing everyone, and celebrating Holly's baby shower.

Quality Time




I want to apologize to all for never posting. I have found ZERO amounts of time to sit down and write. I have spent my extra time watching Weeds Seasons 1 and 2 with Mark and reading my new book Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting by Bethenny Frankel. (SO GOOD!)

Work is going well lately, although VERY busy. Mark and I absolutely love spending lots of time together on the weekends. We did a love language quiz last week in Sunday School, and we both now have Quality Time as our top love language... my was previously Words of Affirmation.

Speaking of Sunday School, we found a new GREAT church! We are now attending Christ Chapel Bible Church here in Fort Worth. It is an amazing church, and we're going to the Young Marrieds class.

This coming weekend, we're heading to Amarillo for Easter. We're leaving on Thursday after I get off of work and staying through Sunday. I am very much looking forward to see my new side of the family and do some geocaching in Palo Dura Canyon.

Mark's quote of the day: "Megan, he's cheating!" Mark yelling at me during a video game, probably referring to some adolescent who shot and killed him.
