Almost There

I can't believe my time in Dallas is nearing to the end.  Only two more full days until my dad gets here, and then we are taking off for Michigan on Thursday!  One final request I had was to go to Pokey O's.

It's an ice cream cookie sandwich place and it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!
This is a pic of me getting it all over my face, and the floor.  I had tuxedo cookies (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate chips) and southern blackberry cobbler ice cream.  YUMMM!

In other news, my family officially has two dogs now.  I get to see them on Friday! Apparently they act like brother and sister, the little one picks on the big one even though she knows she will get trampled.  She will learn eventually.
I have been reading the book "The Help", I wanted to read it before seeing the movie.  If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it.  I think it will make the movie much more enjoyable (not that it wouldn't have been before).  It's hard for me to think how recent all the racism and issues discussed in the book really are.  Definitely makes me consider things differently.

Well, at the beginning of this final week, I ask for your prayers to calm my anxious heart, that I may be able to treasure the rest of my time here with my family and new friends.  It will be so nice to get back home though and into community once again.  I can't describe how hard it's been not being around people to really know me and who I can talk to consistently  face to face.  I appreciate all the prayers throughout this journey, and can't wait to share all about it when I return!
