Loving the Rain!


For awhile there I didn't think it rained at all in Dallas. Even though we are not far from Mississippi, it seems so much more dry here! The rain gives us a little hope that our grass may have a chance.....we have been trying not to kill it, but several spots are yellow and it looks like it is going down fast.....I have been apologizing to all of our neighbors and promising them that we will try harder next summer...haha! I have never had to water grass! A lot of Dallas homes have sprinkler systems, but WE are the sprinkler system. Wishing and praying for rain is definitely a sign that I am getting older....I will never forget my grandmother telling me as a child, "Oh Lawd, we need rain!" and I thought she was crazy, rain would just ruin my summer plans.....well I am officially old, we needed the rain! ; )

A New House, New Blog


After being a blog stalker for a quite awhile now, I have decided to join the blogging world and document our life! We are settling in Dallas and finding our way around. We are so excited about being able to share our life on this blog but also document this time in our lives. Our little house is so cute and we are slowly making it our own. It's in East Dallas and really close to White Rock Lake which is a 9 mile loop with beautiful water views right in the city! Dallas is such a neat city with so much to offer. It reminds me of Birmingham with lots of little pocket areas to explore. Here's a picture of the outside of the house and I will add more soon!
