Why Big D Is Sweet

Obviously…

I’d move to Dallas

to be near

Christopher & Abby

& John Landry

TX Aug 2010 153 

Downtown Dallas is something else!

Chris works in this downtown office building

that connects to the Galleria.

RYAN’s National Headquarters

take over much of this building

TX Aug 2010 076 

Amazing stonework covers

many businesses and homes in the area.

In my humble Midwestern opinion,

there is great truthnot arrogance

behind the phrase…

“Everything is bigger in TEXAS”

dont

Texans seem to take pride in WHAT they build

and it blows me away that

there are so many gorgeous structures there.

Texans deserve a huge pat on the back

for creating works of art 

not eyesores.

This beautiful building is

Abby’s OB’s office

ABOVE is my new neighbor’s home

and BELOW

is the home I AM buying today…some day

home2

In my favorite neighborhood

on a private wooded cul-de-sac

called Valley Forge

Aren’t you in love

with this cozy entryway?

home1

French styled exterior

and reduced to a price

that makes it even dreamier

but more depressing too

home3 

I even like the wood cabinets

but I’d definitely create

a lighter feel

home5

AND minute changes

could transform this room.

My mind whirls when I think of

its possibilities

home4

Even the

Dallas High Five

{where five highways meet}

doesn’t scare me anymore.

Maybe some day…

the good Lord willing

Joe & I will move to Dallas :)

Good blog, zip! I can't believe that's what Abby's DR's office looks like! Man I would never be afraid to go to DR if all offices looked that pretty!! I would like to see how you would change your someday house. :) And the High Five scares me!! :/ Emily - Grapevine is right near all of Jeremy's family!
