Find a nook, read a book

This spring break I made a much needed trip to the Promised Land.  No, not Israel (although, hopefully one day).  I went to Texas!  It was fan-flugging-tastic (this is a word Lawry uses now, he doesn't know what flugging means, I have a guess)!  Spent sweet time with the familia, with my future-Spann-tastic friend and with the almost-Leverenzi (edit: LEVERENZO)!  It was just nice to be home and recharge, I feel like I have the boost to thrive through the rest of the semester! Even though the week was a great break, I still appreciate all prayers for the rest of the semester! Anyway, my last weekend home, Lawry, fresh off a business trip to Seattle, came to visit me in Lewisville! Yippee! So, Lawry and I went on a day date to downtown Denton and ended up with a (sort of) hipster-like theme. It was a blast! Russell found this book about Tall Texans, or you know, himself. And, he found a really cool jacket at a vintage store! I ended up wanting something "new" too, so I bought some purple boots.  I heart Texas.

Get it, Lawry, tall, Texan? Yes.

Going places! I'm actually holding a book of Indiana hiking trails...

A tripod named Richard took this picture for us.  Richard and a self-timer named Steve.

Denton is a recommended day trip, lots of fun things! This book nerd spent half the time in the Recycled Bookstore, but there's also two antique malls: Antique Mall and Antique Mall II with everything from sarcophagi to samurai swords. There's a fun coffeeshop (you must get your coffee flavored or sweet, my americano wasn't so great, but Lawry's caramel latte was pretty decent), some good restaurants (we didn't visit, but we were told), and 2nd Street Recycled Vintage where Rusty and I bought out sweet "new" things!
After Lawry and I got back to the good ole LVT, it started snowing. In late March. In Dallas.  Crazy! Pictures from that to come later :)

In a Texas state of mind,

Coffee

I feel like I should discuss coffee more.  Cause I drink it a lot... two cups already today.  Addicted much?

 

That's my life.  My computer, a book, coffee, and a treat to make me feel better (and fatter).  Anyway, that is why I'm trying out this new template.  Thoughts? (Edit: I didn't like the new template...changed it back :)

I also have a relationship with my phone, but I needed it for the picture.  It feels left out.  I've named my phone, his name is Carlo.  I feel like it fits.

Trying out kickboxing today,
