Dallas

Ok, so im sure that i brought the cable for my camera, and i shall look for it, just pretend that there are photos atm

So ... I arrived in Dallas Monday afternoon and was swiftly whisked away from my sister and family by Ryan (My friends Krysta's brother) So since then i have to say ive been having a pretty sweet time!

Monday evening i managed to work my way in, with the help of some1 else's id card, to a 6 a side football team. Was kinda cool since that is what i do at home on a Monday night to be doing the same thing across a little lake! So the result wasn't too favourable think we lost 5-1, but of course i managed to mark my appearance with the only goal, so apparently 4 weeks without kicking a football you dont lose it ;)

Ok so side note number 1 (pic to follow) so i was meant to be puttin a couple of bottles of coke away in the fridge, but i was kinda a taken back by the amount of condiments there were in the stokes family fridge! I mean, im sure for the americans that are reading this you think im being a little strange cause this is perfectly normal, but any good old English people out there ... Seriously like the whole fridge door was full of em! This aint no English fridge either, everything is bigger in texas, and fridges are def included in that statement!

So Tuesday i had a nice lie in, well it was kinda a lie in, wake up, lie in, wake up for a good amount of times, but none the less i enjoyed it! So the afternoon Krysta, Ashley (her best friend) and I grabbed some rather nice lunch at chilli's and then ventured into some sort of upper class shopping out door high street like place! So the afternoons shopping was followed by my second night in a rows worth of a good football game! 4 weeks without ... then 2 nights in a row ... Not gonna lie wasn't un-happy about that at all! This time it was an 11 a side game, which we were victorious winning 8-5, with myself grabbing a cheeky little hatrick. So after that i was pretty much feeling like all i could do was sit or lie, so i did! We just had a chilled out evening in from of a movie.

So Wednesday Krysta had to work in the morning so i just took the time to catch up on a little reading and chilling out, but when she was back it was all go once again! We took a trip to a proper "mall" this time, and not gonna lie, was pretty happy there! a couple of jumpers, a pair of jeans, a t shirt and an ear piercing later i was happy! (yes i did say ear piercing)

So i have to make a side note here about loving the panda! Panda express that is, now if Tommy was still with me im sure he would be able to compare it to alot more Chinese meals as he is some sort of expert, but i personally have to say this stuff was pretty darn good, and i plan to repeat this very pleasant experience again in the near future!

So wed nite was time for a little bowling action. So the challenge was sent by the young Ashley, making claims of having previously bowled in a league and averaging 180 ... well i thought i was in trouble. However i think the pressure maybe got to her and she just couldn't stand the heat hehe :D We had a really good time me thinks, with the perfect number of 7 bowlers - Krysta, Ashley, Amy (K sister), Rett (K sisters BF), Ryan, Natalie (From Month 1 with mercy ships) and myself. So of course there was a little stealing bowling ball action (if you have ever bowled with me you would know what that is), there was a little spinning round 10 times then trying to bowl action and of course there were plenty of high fives and over celebrations!

So this morning Krysta has worked again, and ive chilled out at the house, seen a new show called house which wasn't too bad, and done some more reading! Just about finished this booked called a monkey's orientation and well im still waiting to find out why its called that! im sure it said somewhere it was gonna tell me why ... and well im still waiting!

So next step for me is Denver 2morrow morning, what that is gonna bring atm i haven't really a clue!!! Im just about putting the final touches together of where im gonna be staying so hopefully it will all turn out good and i shall enjoy my time there just as much as i have here so far in Dallas :D
