Well, I went to San Antonio on Friday. All by myself. I googled Theresa's address on MapQuest and printed it out and braved it on my own. I got to San Marcos and saw Hastings. Stopped, joined their rental club and checked out an audio book. Had a horrible lunch at Arby's - why do I do that? Then on to San Antonio on I-35. The traffic was light and I saw so much shopping I could hardly keep on driving - but I did. When I saw Marshall's on 1604 . . . I just had to stop. Theresa said she would be home around 4 p.m. so I had an hour to spare. I found some awesome things there. I felt like a real country girl going to town for the first time in months. So so much shopping - I passed right by the outlets - and so many places to eat. Theresa and I met up at Marshall's and went to eat at a great mexican place -yum. Then visited in her apartment 'til 11 almost. Slept in the next morning and then went to a great place called Artisan's Alley - lots of great antiques. Had a pretty good lunch there . . . then went and had pedicures. Now that was relaxing - it was their grand opening so they were extra nice to us and did a great job. We went to a clock shop and listened to all of the ridiculously expensive clocks - so beautiful. Theresa took the weights from her Grandfather clock which had been injured in her move. Then we had time to eat once more before I left for home - we ate at Alamo Cafe. I had puff tacos. I think that has become my favorite - and you can't find them just anywhere. Then I drove home (by myself) and am very proud to say that I had no problems. I did worry what I would do if I had a flat tire. But no worries - all went well. Dad would have been proud - I didn't get lost -not even a little bit. And now I know how to get to the temple - Theresa drove me there. There is a new LDS book store right across the street. So, when I decide to go to the temple - I know exactly how to get there. Can you tell that I am so cool - I think I am. Don't know why I can't figure Austin out. San Antonio is so much easier. I'm a bit familiar since Dad and I lived there and in Boerne for 8 years or so. Got home in time to feed the dogs, finish up the bulletin and read my book for awhile. Your mom is so cool.

Yeah! An outing. Sounds like a great day! I really like San Antonio. Although when I say I really like San Antonio I should actually say I really like the Riverwalk. I'm a total tourist. Although I do like the Quarry, too. That's San Antonio, right?
I agree you are pretty cool! Very proud of you. Now get on a plane and come visit me in Alaska. I miss you! :)
