Today is a freezing day in Dallas (along with the rest of the world). The wind chill seriously makes it feel like 20 degrees.. Guess I shouldn't be complaining since most states are supposed to be in the single digits tomorrow - eek! 

I am thankful for another day of worship on this sunny and chilly day. With all the holidays and traveling, along with a nice storm, our small group hasn't met in a few weeks and I'm excited that we are back on tonight!

The weather in Dallas yesterday was rather surprising. It has been on and off chilly for the last couple of weeks but yesterday was probably the coldest it's been since we've been here! My phone said 57 degrees but it forgot to inform me that it actually felt like 30. I could have bundled up more but I am in no way complaining; I am loving this weather! However, I have yet to give into my over-sized sweaters. I'm trying to save those until they are vital to wear.

One thing that has been bugging me the past couple months is the fascination that everyone has with giving into new trends/traditions RIGHT when they come out.. By this I mean, girls raced to Starbucks the day that PSLs came out, they put on boots and scarves at the first sign of a wind chill and they will now be chugging down peppermint mocha coffees until the end of December. Don't get me wrong, I definitely love myself a PSL, sweet sweater, perfect boot and peppermint mocha but why pull them out the first day you possibly can? I'm not switching out my pumpkin flavored drinks and smells for peppermint ones for a few more weeks, at least!

Am I the only one holding off on my peppermint mochas and over-sized sweaters?

The last week has been crazy and has included David's friend visiting last weekend, the Texas State Fair, another work week, and my sister currently visiting! So this will be a very quick picture update :)

Miley's birthday was Monday so obviously I had to make a collage for her:

Yesterday, I took my sister to the Dallas Market for a little personal shopping and ended the night at Uptown with pizza and gelatos!:

Now we are headed to the Dallas Zoo! David and I have never been there so we though it would be a fun thing to do with my sister. Then who knows what the rest of the day will entail!
