The wedding was an absolute blast, and I can't wait to see the professional pictures. I'll post some of those soon once I get them :) I also can't believe it was over in literally a blink of an eye. All of this planning and then it's like, "what? that's it? I want more!" haha.
We left Tuesday morning at around 0730 central time. For awhile we were not sure if we were going to stay the night somewhere or drive straight through, but we ended up just driving. We switched drivers at every rest stop. KY, TN & AK are all very boring...especially AK, which I believe is trying to strive to be like other states, with city names like Arkandelphia and Texarkana. Really, Arkansas? lol. We got to the apartment at around 0650 this morning, central time. We crashed, got up a couple of hours later, then went to Chopstick to get some yummy pho <3
The pho wasn't as good as the pho I am used to back in Ohio, but it was still very yummy. I went next door to the froyo place and got some taro froyo with slivered almonds and chopped walnuts. There is another froyo place in Harker Heights on the Central Texas Expressway called YoYo that I want to try.
And speaking of Harker Heights, EVERYTHING is there! Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, 2 Walmarts, a USAA bank, Old Navy, Ulta, tons of places to eat, etc etc etc. Nothing like Missouri. I know I am going to love it here :) Especially with the gorgeous weather! We were in the upper 80's today.
E & I also spent over $500 today at Bed Bath & Beyond on necessities. We still need to buy more stuff. It's hard starting out. I think tomorrow our goal is to go to the AAFES on-post and check out their furniture because we do not have a couch. We also do not have a washer/dryer and that is something we desperately need as well. I can't decide if I want to buy them brand new or buy them relatively brand new for a heck of a lot cheaper on Craig's List.

Hooray on making it to TX! I agree when moving somewhere new it's always tough on the wallet. LOL. I will however say that craigslist has been my saving(literally) grace. Check there for a washer and dryer before going and spending a fortune on new stuff. You usually can find a gently used washer and dryer for a good price. I'm so excited for you guys and I can't wait to read all about your adventures in TX! Eeek!
ReplyDeleteyes it is! especially since I am still unemployed :( I am hoping that being here will make it easier for me to find a job. 99% of my friends had to wait almost 3-4 months before finding something, and i know some schools told their new grads to expect to wait 8-12 months before finding something :( i'm hoping to find something soon. and we got our washer & dryer from craig's list - both for $350! and that also included tax, delivery and installation :) I finally did laundry and have never been so excited to do it in my life lol!
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with this froyo concept. Us northerners do not have them and I came here where there's like 4. It's AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI feel ya on the expenses. It's expensive starting out!
yes! Ohio had *one* froyo place where I used to live and here in Texas they all over, with 2 being right by my apartment :) I've probably had it like 3 times already this past week haha
