(Insert Catchy Title Here...)

My first post!! Don't get too excited people, I'm not as creative as I thought I was (notice the post title)...  I created this blog to keep in touch with family and friends and also to show off some creative ideas I have planned for our new life in Fort Worth.  Most of those ideas are related to furniture projects but we'll get to that later. 

The drive to Fort Worth from Guthrie wasn't too bad.  I had Rocky by my side and he enjoyed the scenery.  Skyler followed us in his truck and kept an eye on my driving.  Thank goodness.  Below is a picture of Rocky during our drive.

I have spent a whopping 5 days in this hotel room and I am more than ready to GET OUT!  Ugh.  However, in those 5 days, I have found us a beautiful home, taken Rocky for numerous walks, changed our mailing address on all bills and correspondences (that is not a fun thing to do btw), and I am caught up on my Summer class homework!  I have also applied to several jobs, one of which is at Chesapeake so please say a prayer or 2 for me! 

Enough about me :)

Skyler has worked a full 2 weeks at Chesapeake and seems pretty happy with it!  He likes all of the guys that he works with and most of them are close to our age, which we are excited about (Hellloooo friends!).  He wakes up every morning around 6 a.m. and irons his clothes while I sleep in.  I like that.  He spends all day at work, doesn't even leave for lunch, and gets back to our "castle" around 5:30 or so.  We spend our evenings watching excessive amounts of quality television.

We are trying to pinch a few pennies so we've been eating in quite a bit.  That's hard to do when you move to a new town and like food as much as I... errr WE do.  Today we decided that we deserved a treat and ventured on over to Chef's Point Cafe in Watauga.  Oh. My. Gosh.  It was sooooo soooo sooo GOOD!! Chef's Point was featured on one of my favorite shows: Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  Skyler ordered the Bacon Cheddar Burger with french fries- quite delightful!!  It had barbecue sauce on it and it was so big, he only ate half of it.  I ordered the Blackened Chicken stuffed with Crab.  Heaven on a plate!  I should have taken a picture... We ended with the Bread Pudding in cognac sauce and I ate almost all of it.  We left miserable but very satisfied and agreed that it was one of the best meals we'd ever eaten.

I wonder if this blog will turn more towards food than furniture... We shall see :)

Oh yeah, one more thing- we miss everyone back home very much!

Love,
