If you've never been in Dallas, know that you are missing out on a serious civil engineering masterpiece/disaster center.
Roads on roads on roads.
In a ten mile drive, I can switch highways more than four times and have it take me over an hour to make the drive.
Other times, I can make a 30 mile trip in 30 minutes.
It's a death trap where I spend the majority of my time thinking, "THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS".
I am in Texas this time for a 3 week recruiting trip. Since last Sunday night, I've battled head on the pit of despair through the Dallas streets. Sometimes, it's nice. I have time to process the day and think.
Other times, my hands and heart sweat so badly that I can hardly think.
After a week of that, it was nice to have a break in the form of my husband.
Since I'm gone for so long, my university flew him out to me for the weekend.
Even though part of that was spent recruiting (what a champ!), it was also so nice to be able to chill, watch HGTG and FoodNetwork, and wander the DFW area.
Notable highlights in our shopping ventures were introducing Jay to World Market and Half Price Books.
He was just the cutest exploring all the different cultures and thinking up ways he could recreate all the different wood pieces.
Half Price Books was a perfect storm. Two nerds, together, and inexpensive books and nerd paraphernalia. We ended up with quite the haul.
Then, we grabbed a crepe together at a sweet little cafe called Frogg, and made our way to the airport.
It's not very nice to abandon your husband two months after you get married, but we are making it work. Texting is a beautiful thing.
When I get unstuck from the tangles of traffic, it'll be very nice to go home.
