JOHN - On Friday, I received a text from Jared and he wanted to see what I was doing that night. Originally I was planning on coming home, playing a little First in Math and doing absolutely nothing. But like everything in life, plans changed!
Jared and I were going to go out and have a few drinks at this little local pub called Smitty's. In case you're wondering who Jared is, he and I shared a few classes at ISU. Though we didn't hang out too much, I did know he was coming down here last semester and when I found out he got a job here, we were eventually going to hang out.
Jared came on over and we had a couple of drinks and then we took off over to Smitty's. Smitty's is your typical, townie bar. There was a jukebox with 80's and 90's music, a couple of pool tables and some dart boards. Jared and I talked school, life, music and everything in between over a some pool and games of Cricket. It was a great way to start the week.
On Saturday, I had to run a bunch of errands. I needed a new dome light for the car, get some comics and some other miscellaneous stuff. Jayma went and laid out at the pool. That night, we met up with Lisa, Don and Lisa's friend at Boston's to watch some football and spend a beautiful Saturday night outside. Jayma and I are beginning to build up quite the little posse down here and are happy to have such great people to hang with.
On Sunday, Jayma and I spent the afternoon with Lynn and Irene. They wanted to take us to this little German town called Gruene (pronounced green). Maybe I should change the spelling of my name to Grueneacre? HA! Anyway, Gruene was this quaint, little town full of gift shops, restaurants and dance halls. It was definitely a throwback to a older time and we had a great time walking around to all the little shoppes. We also had a wonderful lunch at the Gristmill! We definitely want to go back on a Friday or Saturday night to see how the natives really party in rural Texas. I guess it's time for me to get my cowboy hat!
Lynn and Irene also took us to New Braunfels where we saw people tubing on the river. Jayma and I decided right then and there what we were doing next weekend!! We went and tested the water but it wasn't too bad. We texted Lisa and Jared and they agreed that next weekend would be a great time to go tubing. We also visited a couple of smaller towns around the area and got to see a different part of Texas. It was a great way to end the weekend!
