Closed out our first month in TX!

The weather in Texas the last few days had been a total switch from what our family is experiencing in the North East. 60-70's is something we aren't used to in January but we've been embracing the sunshine and getting out to explore. 

A trip north into the Denton Area brought us some amazing views of the Big Texas Sky, 

and a chance to see Lewisville Lake. 

This weekend we also celebrated the close of our first month in Texas. After some searching I found an Awesome Yoga Studio, Yoga on Main in downtown Frisco (www.yogaonmainst.com) and hit them up Saturday morning for an intense flow class using muscles I haven't felt in an awfully long time. Meanwhile Michael got a chance to sleep in extra late.
We took a trip into Dallas in the afternoon to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the American Airlines Arena,

We might have been one of the only couples there who didn't have children with them but none the less we had a great time!

Sundays are now a day of new routine. A time for us to grow into this new place and enjoy our newlywed-ness (which I know is not a real word... more like a feeling... you know- like this is truly OUR adventure)   Church and a trip to the grocery store (a new one this week!), and some kitchen related adventures in the afternoon. We are really enjoying the community we've discovered at St. Phillips Episcopal (http://www.stphilipsfrisco.org). A congregation averaging 700 people between the two morning services that feels more like a big family than the mega church of the south.

This weeks kitchen adventure was more backyard related. Garlic and Dill dip with sugar snap peas, beers and Southern living magazine while NY strip steaks from Market Street seasoned with Mesquite rub, slow grill over the Charcoal- with flip flop feet :-) 

I picked up Southern Living so to investigate some new recipes for our April visitors. Cooking Easter dinner for the first time ever!
