My heart is in Texas

On December tenth I faced my fear of flying all by myself and flew to Texas to visit my boyfriend. He is so sweet and came to the airport with roses in hand.

I stayed the first night with some of our family friends. The next day they took me to the Dallas Temple. It is such a beautiful temple! But before I went with them we went to his family's ward party. They had a photographer there that took pictures of families dressed in nativity attire. Don't we make a great Mary and Joseph?

Unfortunately, on the way to pick me up at the temple my boyfriend, Daven, totaled his car. :( The steering completely locked up when he tried to exit, so he ran into a median. Luckily he is ok!

That night we went to a musical/dinner that his little brother was in. It was seriously entertaining! Then, we went to a University of Northern Texas basketball game. They really know how to play a good game! Plus, I didn't mind the extra time with Daven.

The last three nights I stayed at a ward familiy's house. They were so kind to take me in. The next day we had way too much fun! We went to cracker barrell and played the little how smart are you game, and then we headed to the historic stalkyards. It was fun to see the arenas and things they have that are so huge in Texas! We went to a candy store and played around in there for a while. My favorite part of the day was going to Cabela's. He'd never been, so it was super fun to look at the fish and other animals. It was also way fun to learn how to shoot from a little kids target practice game. He is such a good teacher! After that he took me to his high school football stadium. That place is so huge! I'm talking like two times WSU's stadium! When we got back to his house we read scriptures with his family, and watched "It's a Wonderful Life." When his siblings went to bed we played a couple games of pool. He totally cheated and put balls in the pockets for me while I wasn't watching! I had a blast! I love my boyfriend!
