Say Goodbye to TEXAS


We left Lubbock, aka the greasy spoon, Saturday at around 6pm... I was still on the clock, that was interesting... Brian wanted me to work all the next week too, he couldn't do his job, the techs jobs, and my job... don't blame him, plus I needed the extra cash! :)

Our trip back was fun! and thankfully I didn't have to drive once, honestly I'm an ok driver, but I hate to drive! I feel much safer when Jeff drives, I live in luxury in the passenger seat! (oh the adventures that passenger seat has had this summer.... Giving service to an elderly woman who in return peed in the seat, at first we thought it was just wet because of sweat, and then a rep from the APX office, whom we will not name, had an "accident" in his pants in the middle of nowhere while out knocking none-the-less, and Jeff had to give him a ride to get cleaned up!
The Adventures of Urine and Pooh!) haha.

Our journey back, we wanted it to feel like an adventure, so we tried to find those odd things like, "the biggest yarn ball in the world!" but unfortunately I don't think they have those kinds of things from TX to UT, maybe in Kansas or someplace like that... so we did our best to just keep our camera ready for whatever was in store for us this trip...

Leaving TX and Arriving in New Mexico

the Four Corners
(can you believe we had to pay $6 to go see concrete? dumb reservations!)

After leaving the Four Corners we ran into (not literally) a wild ass.
Jeff here is trying to feed it an apple, first he takes a bite, then reaches out his hand for it to smell it and know that it isn't poisonous. :)

Lake Powell
(I had never been here before, I thought the lake was more like Bear Lake, not like the Zion and Narrows!) I had to go to the bathroom and there were no public toilets anywhere, so I squatted in between a crevice of rocks... interesting and breezy!

then went to Goblin Valley, by far the coolest natural landmark I've ever seen! it seriously looks like goblins crawling out of the earth!
I took the liberty of enhancing the colors to show you just how freakin amazing our time was here!

Last place we ate before the Big Move! ...............................................................


~Buffalo Wild Wings~
Located in Lubbock TX, stays open till 4am. One night, one of our last nights, I was craving hot wings bad... and thankfully this place satisfied my craving! By far the one of the best hot wings Jeff and I have ever had! This restaurant had 14 flavors--
Sweet BBQ- Satisfyingly Sweet
Terriyaki- Terrifically Tasty
Mild- High Flavor Low Heat
Parmesan Garlic
Medium- Comfortable Hot
Honey BBQ- Sweet Sassy Sauce
Spicy Garlic
Asian Zing- Chili Pepper Soy and Ginger Sauce
Caribbean Jerk- Exotic Delicious Sauce
Hot BBQ- Rich BBQ Sauce with a touch of Heat
Hot- Delicious Flavor Exhilarating Heat
Mango Habenaro- Feel the Burn Savor the Sweet
Wild- Big Flavor Blistering Heat
Blazin- Keep away from eyes, pets, children: the hottest flavor they've got!

We taste tested Asian Zing, Caribbean Jerk, Hot BBQ, Hot, Wild, and Blazin...
We ate Hot BBQ and Wild... so tasty, and yet so HOT!
Oh man, Jeff was just downing them... and I never knew he liked hot wings as much as I did.
eek... the heat was painful, it was so bad it made my hair turn even redder and same as my nails!

I'm thinking of starting a blog. A real one. One that makes money. I'm still a stay-at-home mom, but instead of one kid I have 4 now...
