Ike Hurrication

Thanks to Ike, we had another vacation! This time it was longer, but it got old pretty fast... there are only so many times you can eat out... Here's a picture of our first night in Grand Prairie. Mickey ordered the hugest meal I've ever seen. It was so big, it was worthy of a photo (it looked way bigger in person)!

The second day was the Dallas World Aquarium. Carrie was totally excited about it!

Cody thought I should take a picture by my twin - a sloth.
These sharks freaked me out. I don't know what they were called though...
I have no idea what this is but it was weird looking, too!
The scariest animal at the zoo - CODY!
Another picture from the many restaurants we visited on our hurrication.
We found a Freebirds!!!!! I finally made my own art with the burrito foil.
One day we went to the Fort Worth Stockyards. We missed the best part of it though because we didn't really what we were doing there. But we did run into a huge cow and took a picture with him!
We went to the Dallas Galleria. Not my favorite mall ever, but we decided to ice skate while there. Amiee never let go of that wall!! I tried to teach her how to skate, but it didn't work out well.
I don't remember how she fell, but it was funny!
So after our fun trip in the Dallas area, we headed home after we found out we had power. Of course we stopped by the #1 Christmas store in Texas first to pick up a few decorations! = ) We got home to our lovely apartment with an extremely stinky refrigerator! We left meat in the freezer thinking we would only be gone for a day or two... I will never again do that! Even if it's a false alarm - all meat will be thrown away!

Anyway - most things are back to normal around here. Well, except for the restaurants that have limited menus. Not that we need to be eating at restaurants anyway. I swear, I have gained a few pounds while gone. It's time for a diet. The diet of choice this time is Weight Watchers. I've done it before, and it works. I got a free trial to the WW Online, and it's really neat! It also gave me access to the WW store so I could buy the newest point books! I'm actually excited about doing it. I guess putting this info out in public will hold me accountable. Maybe. Hopefully. We'll see.

Ok - time to get back to reading Breaking Dawn... so good so far! Team Edward.. haha!

Mean Mrs. Bean

I have been student teaching for just 5 days now. Today was my first day to change someone's color! It felt great, too. Too bad he had already had 3 color changes by other teachers... I can't wait to do it again! = )

Gustav Shopping Vacation in San Marcos

One week after Cody and I left San Antonio, we had to head right back in that direction to evacuate because of Hurricane Gustav. After driving in the middle of the night through crazy back roads with Cody's family, we ended up at our hotel in San Marcos. During our stay, we shopping at the outlet mall, went to Gruene, and ate a lot. Although trip was unnecessary, we had fun!
Everyone played dress up in J.Crew except for Carrie and me...



I found these amazing sunglasses in Gruene!


On this day, Cody and I had been married for 3 months! : )
