…but we do have something. We’re getting better but neither of us have much energy. What little energy we do have today is reserved for getting packed so we can drag ourselves out of bed and into a minicab at 6 am tomorrow. We are both excited to be coming to Texas, but neither of [...]

This is now about 250ish yards away from our door! There are already Domino’s all over London but there is not one that will deliver to us. Until now! There are other pizza places that will deliver to us. We LOVE Firezza and we get fresh artisan pizza cooked in a wood burning oven and [...]

You can’t go on any form of public transportation on a Friday or Saturday night without seeing groups of girls all dressed up in some theme or a bunch of guys with crazy tshirts and wigs.

I am having corny dog cravings so bad that I can barely function. Every time I get on facebook, someone is talking about the state fair. I love the fair. Love love love love the fair. Even the parts I hate (the bird show), I love because they are part of the experience. I still [...]
