We said, "I do"
We were 21
We moved out on our own
We lived in a one bedroom apartment in St. Pete
Judd graduated from college
I had one year of college left
We started our lives as "one"
Today
We live in Coppell, Texas
We know what it's like to move miles, miles, and miles from family
We have a beautiful daughter
We've passed our ten year high school reunion
We're both 30
We cherish our Christian marriage even more
We yearn to nurture and grow Evie into a woman of faith
For our date night, we ventured down to the Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff, Dallas. It's a section of historic buildings that have been renovated and now have one of a kind restaurants and shops from pizza, BBQ, hamburgers, to fine dining. As well as cute little shops like the soda shop, a vintage clothing store, designer boutiques, and a chocolate shop. We are so thankful to have awesome neighbors who exchange babysitting with us. We watch their kid, they watch ours!
getting ready to hit the road
We arrived with plenty of time before our reservations to explore. Since it was way passed 100 degrees outside, our main stop was The Soda Gallery. It had a large assortment of exotic sodas sold in glass bottles from around the word. We picked a Mexican peach drink called, BOING.
It's HOT
cheers
We ate dinner at Tillman's Roadhouse. Even though it has "roadhouse" in the name, it did not feel like a roadhouse at all. It had very rich food like jalapeno gnocchi, steak, seared scallops, and fried green tomatoes.
Judd's "tater tots" were injected with fluffy goat cheese whipped potatoes! Heaven.
the main part of the restaurant
in the back there was a "forest room"
the walls were painted blue and surrounded by bare tree branches and twigs
an old Judy Garland movie played silently on the wall
starter: salt and pepper popcorn with olive oil
We had dessert at Dude, Sweet Chocolate
They make everything in the shop with dark chocolate.
We sampled several flavors and settled with "Crack in a Box" dark chocolate bars with macadamia nuts, hazel nuts, and almonds
