Recently exciting news: Andrew and I had a date night on Thursday at the Melting Pot, yum!! AND I now own my very first pair of cowboy boots!!
I loooooove the Melting Pot, and Andrew is now likewise obsessed ever since he realized that fondue is simply melted cheese. The other really great part of having a date at the Melting Pot is that it's a 2 hour meal generally so that leaves lots of time for conversation.
As for the boots I finally feel like a real Texan now! I realize I've always been a Texan but the boots solidify my status. Buying boots could easily become an addiction if I let it. Walking into the store, smelling all that leather, seeing the walls covered in boots. A girl can't help but love it!
I'm itching to go to the rodeo so I'm hoping this will confuse Andrew that we should go. I realize this might sound strange coming from me but I LOVE the rodeo! One of my few childhood memories is being 4 or 5 and standing in the rodeo ring in Dallas with a bunch of other kids as we all chased after a calf. The entire environment is exciting, the cowboys are incredible (to look at), and the food is terrible but wonderful (hello funnel cakes), it's exciting; it's life! Perhaps the part I most admire about the entire rodeo is that you know the cowboys and cowgirls are completely present in the moment. They have to be in order to win, to survive.
How many of us can be honest and say we live our life in the moment, in the present, day in and day out? I can't. I'm ridiculously bad about having my mind somewhere completely different than where I'm standing or sitting. We miss out, I miss out, on things when live is lived that way.
