Adventures of a new college grad...

It’s been a while since I last updated my blog, I had this thing called college to finish up. The good news is that I’m now a college graduate, HOORAY! Go me! The bad news is, I’m still incredibly busy. I thought that once I graduated things would be all peaches and cream. I could sit around the house, stare at my dog (check him out in this awesome pic) and watch re-runs of “Toddlers and Tiaras.” However, I was sorely mistaken. Ok Ok, I am actually making it sound like I’m miserable being so busy, but I actually really like it, mostly because I’m busy with my family and friends, living it up pretending to be a responsible, mature adult. So, here go the adventures of me post-graduation. Sit back and enjoy people, because it’s always awesomeness with me!

Last Week...

Aside from the weekly Taco Tuesdays, my week varies in its adventures. Last week I went with Carlos and Graham to this burger place called Roots. Although I don’t particularly care for more burgers in my life than necessary, it was still a fun little trip. The most exciting part though, was the fact that we basically risked our lives going to this place. Let me explain, Carlos failed to mention that we were going to the Roots in Deep Ellum, for those of you who are not familiar with this place, let me fill you in. You don’t go to Deep Ellum unless you want to get shot or stabbed. Ok, I’m exaggerating, but still, when I was in high school, it was widely known that you do not go to Deep Ellum after dark, as it was sure death. Nevertheless, we went anyways, and aside from the screaming, yelling, and crying that went on once we figured out where we were going, it was still quite fun. And I think it goes without saying, though I’ll say it anyways, that none of us got shot, stabbed, or even close to threatened.

This Week...

This week was equally as fun. My family and I went to the legendary Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. As we walked from the car to the ticket booth, I couldn’t help but feel a twinkle of Texas pride, my family and I were all wearing our boots, and we looked pretty legit and awesome. Ok, so my nine month old niece Avery wasn’t wearing any boots, but I will give her a pass because she’s so gosh darn cute. And she hates wearing shoes, so I wouldn’t want her to do something that would make her grouchy. The rodeo was a blast, I especially love the bareback bronco riding. Don’t judge, but I like to scream the entire time this goes on, as I think it adds to the intensity of the event. I’m sure the people around me don’t appreciate it much, but I can’t contain my excitement. I love me some good Texas awesomeness, and rodeos like this are the perfect thing. I’m glad I could experience it with my family, and that we are able to be a part of the great Texan culture around us. And I must admit, we all look pretty dang cute in our Texas boot get-ups.
