Destination Dallas

Yesterday felt like it was never-ending. So much has happened since Sunday that my head feels like it is about to explode and my body aches everywhere!! But I want to start at the beginning... at my celebratory going away party (we were celebrating the fact that I was leaving :P) :). So I was up until 4 AM Sunday packing for my trip later that day. Went to bed and woke up at 8 to help set up the house for guests. My mom made/ordered all my favorite foods, which is making my mouth water as I am typing this.

My Honey Green Tea that the bf dropped off for me at 2 AM to help keep me awake while packing.

My FAVORITE banh beo, they're are little circles of delicious. Even brought one whole platter on the 5 hour ride to Dallas... needless to say it is completely gone now.

Vietnamese jello, layers of coffee, coconut, and some other green flavor in this colorful desert.

Yummmmy cupcakes that my cousin Jeanne made, I also took these on the road with me. Unfortunately they melted...bad. haha I just stuck them in the fridge and they're good to go.

Ordered Hawaiian and mushroom/sausage/pepperoni pizza.

OMG and the best BEST bun bo hue ever! No lie, I could eat this everyday.

Vietnamese Cream filled pastries, I'm not sure what the name for it is, but they are goot!

Left Houston around 5-ish. I slept for an hour and a half and when I woke up I think we were still in Houston! haha

Stopped by a Bucees for some dippin dots.

After arriving in Dallas we met up with David's older brother Jonathan, who is already a student at UT Southwestern and stayed at his apartment. The place is very luxurious and I can't believe med students can live like this! We went down to the common area and played shuffle board, pool, and drank their hot cocoa and tea. Then we went for a late night dip in the pool. It felt great to be sooooo relaxed, we were in the pool at 11:30 AM and it was completely empty, there was a small waterfall and the water was just warm enough... why can't everyday be this way?

This is the kitchen common area at David's brother's (Jonathan) apartment. tres chic!

Ahah caught richie in the act!! can you find him?

So I really want to blog about my day today! but I'm exhausted and there is a game board night going on on the 11th floor. I guess I must go mingle and make friend sighhhh....haha just kidding. I have a long day ahead tomorrow so I will probably be in bed by 1 AM :/ BUT I will say that I am loving Dallas and this internship so far. Staying at a hotel tops the dorm rooms of last year by far. I feel really blessed and amazed that I have an opportunity to meet such ambitious, talented people. :) oh tonight is a very special night...
