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.

Family Visits
Things are insane around our house these days. I know I posted that I would put up some wedding pictures, but I have honestly had ZERO time to do so. I will find some time this weekend to make that happen since we have nothing major going on (thankfully)!
Two weekends ago, we went to visit my parents in Waco and to see their brand new house that my mom and dad designed! It looks amazing. My mom did such a good job on the details, and I can't wait for it to come together finally. Since we left, she has put up blinds and drapery, installed surround sound throughout the house, and installed satellite TV in each room. Needless to say, we will be returning for a visit soon.
Last weekend, Mark's parents came to Fort Worth for a visit. We went to the zoo, out to eat, played spades, and filled every last ounce of our time. I fear that our next visit with them will be much less exciting. We sort of pulled out the big guns on this trip, so we will have to scrap up some new material for next time. They also visited another church with us (which was not a keeper), and we even did some geocaching!
Mark's job search is going.... just going. He is definitely trying so hard to find something, and each time we think we're getting somewhere with a lead, there is a roadblock or no one calls back. I am praying so hard for him, and I am so proud of his patience and perserverance, but it does get frustrating at times. God will provide for us. Thankfully I have a great job, and we are not struggling to make it. I just can't buy new clothes and a new pair of shoes every week like before. BUMMER! Sacrifices are worth it (if it means my husbands loves me in old clothes and old shoes).
Mark and Megan Price are doing great is Fort Worth so far in 2009!

Day 25...
These last 25 days have been the most fun! Last night, I looked at Mark over my veggie sub from Subway, and just said out loud, "I am having the most fun with you these days!" This was after we really sucked wind running in the park, so I said it rather breathlessly. Even so, I meant it.
We have filled our time with the following activities (some sporadic, and some done ever day religiously...)
1. Watched the Office on Netflix (in HD on our amazing TV, Stanley)
2. Played tennis (and I am actually getting better - good enough to play a couple matches)
3. Started running in the park (Every weekday)
4. Went grocery shopping twice
5. Had nachos at CHIMY's (and found out my cousin works there)
6. Visited Uptown Dallas with our brother and sister-in-law & many friends
7. Began looking for a house (This one is the most exciting besides watching the Office!)
8. Shopped for Blu-Ray movies (since we got the player as a wedding gift from Adam)
9. Opened all of the cards from the wedding (We had my mom mail them all to us because we couldn't wait)
10. Cooked dinner at home more than we've eaten out
There is so much that we've done, so those are really my top 10. I am sure Mark will read this and mention something even better that I have forgotten, so I will write about that in my next post.
I will just tell you about our neighbors around us, which makes apartment living so much more exciting.
The people below us are married with two small children. They live at our apartment complex as a part of their ministry that they lead called CARES, which probably stands for something prolific, but who knows. Basically they live in a complex and plan special events (game night, dessert night, etc.) and go around meeting and making relationships. Well, they live directly below me so I run into them a lot as well as hear a lot of what goes on inside and outside of their apartment. One night I heard yelling because my windows were open. I turned all the lights off (like good neighbors do when they want to get a good look outside), and the wife was storming off, and then jumped in her car and flew away. The husband came out a second later out with the young daughter yelling, "Don't cry sweetie. It's not fair she's taking this out on you..." and took off walking in the direction in which the lady drove. Not sure why, but he just walked off with the daughter yelling all the way. After that, I never saw them together for almost 7 weeks.
Last night, Mark and I noticed them moving out.
