Busy, Busy

It's been a crazy week in Dallas! This was our "getting settled" week and it's been a busy one. At the beginning of the week, we got to spend plenty of time in auto shops while we got the car and scooter inspected. We even got to drive the scooter from our apartment to downtown Dallas to get it inspected at the right place! That was a little bit scary for both of us but we did find out that we are only 5 minutes away from downtown. After we got our cars inspected, we spent a few hours at the DMV getting all our license plates and registrations. Exciting!!

One major highlight of the week was going to Peter Pan the Musical on Tuesday night with some new friends from our branch. We had pretty good seats and it was an awesome theatre! We are thinking of buying season tickets there next year, since Wicked, Lion King, Mary Poppins, and Catch Me if You Can will all be in town. It's right next to the Cotton Bowl, which is about 10 minutes away. It seems like we are close to everything in Dallas!

The latter part of the week was spent at Sunset High School, where we tried to clean out Taylor's new room. His room was the Geology room last year and there were rocks everywhere. In drawers, cabinets, on shelves ... everywhere we looked there were more rocks. But, while we were cleaning out the room, the Sunset Athletic Director surprised us by coming up unannounced to interview Taylor for a recently open coaching job. I waited while Taylor got interviewed, and he came back a half hour later with awesome news: He got hired as the varsity defensive backs coach for the football team! He is so excited! Practice starts August 9 and their first game is September 7. Looks like I'll be all alone on Friday nights this fall ... but I'll be at all his games of course! He will also be coaching a second sport but they haven't decided what that will be just yet.

We have a busy week ahead but there is light at the end of the tunnel. We get to go to our first Rangers game next Saturday night!!
