A Weekend Away!

Greg planned a weekend in Ft. Worth for our anniversary! Of course, it was a really wet and cold weekend, and we had to have our brakes fixed the day we were to leavc. So, after waiting for our car and finally deciding to take Larry and Joy's van we sat in horrible traffic for almost 2 hours! Once we got there we checked into our wonderful hotel suite and changed to go out to Sundance Square and walk until we found a place to eat. Well, since I like the cold so... much we didn't walk far and I said just pick a warm place to eat. While we were waiting at a red light to walk to the restaurant, we looked up and we were caught up in the middle of a Santa's Helper Toy Drive. Troy Dungan from Channel 8 was standing next to me and looked over and said Hey, how are you doing? At that moment I realized where we were standing and that cars were pulling up and everyone around us was reaching into the cars and pulling out toys! So, we moved down the street a bit and crossed. After a good dinner at Risky's Bar B Que we headed back out and now it was raining. Of course, I forgot the umbrella so we walked very fast one block south and one block east and stopped at the biggest Barnes and Noble I have ever seen. After some nice hot chocolate we braved the cold rain again and headed back to the hotel room. The room was very large and truly romantic and we both enjoyed each other's company with no little voices calling for us or little feet jumping into bed with us.
The next morning we walked down to the Corner Bakery for a quick muffin and hot chocolate and then back to do some quick Christmas shopping and then headed to The Stockyards. After a yummy lunch at Joe T. Garcias we walked the Stockyards just long enough to find gifts for the kids and then we got into our warm car!
We topped it off by stopping by Grapevine Mills to do a little shopping for me! Greg spoiled me this weekend and I loved every minute of it!
Somedays the last eight years have flown by and somedays not, but I have loved being Greg's wife every single moment!
