dallas happenings.

to start this blog out today. the decision process is still in the works. i'm probably not going to take the position in la with splashlight unless i definitely get some other opportunities at least in the "very probable" works. thanks to all who have been praying and all the great advice. but yes. ultimately this is my decision, and its a risky yet exciting one.

ok. on to much more fun stuff. dallas has been treating me well. i think the last "dallas" blog was the one about the new puppy. well he's been here a couple of weeks, and we love him dearly. though he wreaks much havoc at times. ha. no actually he's quite good. but there have been a few incidents where when left home for many hours alone, even while locked in the kitchen by a baby gate, he has somehow managed to release himself and take ownership of many items that do not and never will belong to him. such as newspapers, twine, shoes, and novels. yes. as the attached evidence proves, mr wylie miester shredded many a paper item last monday. the picture is what i walked into... much to my shock and awe!

other news. it has been insanely hot here. already. records for may. last sunday had a high of 98 degrees! yes, that was the temp, not the long forgotten boy band of the early 2000's. annyway, i definitely took advantage of the afternoon sun after going to church and sat at the pool with the aforementioned novel (pre-shredding) for a good 2.5 hoursish. it was great. perfectly relaxing!

many small meals out have been enjoyed, now granted i am pretty much on a tight budget, but mdk and i as well as some of her friends have been able to enjoy a few fun new places for good eats at reasonable prices! one thing i love about summer, or i guess the south, is being able to eat out doors. so anytime i go out, the patio is a must. mdk and i went to a great place just around the corner called the cosmic cafe. its all vegetarian, a little bit newagey i think, but the food was fantastic!! mine was served on a giant leaf!! it was picture worthy of course (as our most of my meals!)

anyway. tried out a second church today. loved it. the message was a bit scattered, but that could have just been a fluke, but the music was nice and i really enjoyed the ambiance and the people seemed really great. visit the churches website at: www.watermark.org.
