Fear the punter!

Fireproof

We just saw "Fireproof." It's the best move I've seen in years. Take your spouse to go see this if you haven't already.

Laity Sunday

I got to help lead the traditional worship service on Sunday. All I had to do was read something and it made me very nervous! Here's a picture of everyone who participated in the 11:00 service. We are so blessed with a wonderful church family!!

Little C-Monster

I had a chance to visit Stephanie in Memphis this week when I had to be in town for a client. Chloe has gotten so big since the last time I saw her! She's so smily and sweet. The only time I ever heard her fuss was when she saw her morning bottle. She absolutely shrieked with delight. Steph said she loves to eat and I can believe it!!

 

LHB practice

On Friday afternoon we stopped by Richardson High School to watch the Longhorn Band practice for their halftime show at the TX/OU game (which was yesterday and yes, good triumphed over evil). 

Of course, as a former member of the high school band, I was in heaven. I love marching bands. We haven't had a chance to go to Austin for any games this year and that is the biggest thing I miss - the sound of the band (and of course the sea of burnt orange in the stadium). 

I was able to take this video with my phone. It does not do justice to the awesomeness of this band but it was all I could get!

My parents are in China!!

Bethany Boba Tea House experience

Today Brittany and I caved to our craving for authentic bubble tea. About a month ago, when we had occasion to be in Plano, we tried out a place called Fat Straws. It was good, but waaay far north of home, kind of overpriced, and... well, I can't exactly put it into words, but it had that franchised feel to it. 

We looked for bubble tea closer to home and found the website for Bethany Boba Tea House in Arlington, about a 15 minute drive from home. It was in a strip mall that contained the following restaurants: Acopulco Restaurant, Nizza's Pizza, a Mediterranean grill, The India Star, and the Bethany Boba Tea House. Diversity? - check. 

Brittany ordered the iced almond milk tea with boba:

I ordered the iced Japanese green tea with milk and boba:

Yum! And chewy! 

It was so good that we are going back tomorrow for lunch. I think I'll avoid the stinky tofu, however. 

Needless to say, this place has landed a spot on my local favorites list! The employees were so friendly, and they played Christian music which earns them bonus points.
