What I Miss Most in The Big City

Well hey there!  I promise I'm not neglecting le blog already, I have just been sick and work has been crazy busy lately.  I mentioned previously that we moved to a small town in south Texas about 3 years ago.  I absolutely L-O-V-E where we live and the amazing community we have found, but there are definitely some things I miss about the big city.  I thought I would fill yall in on some of the things I miss most.

Shopping. Mama loves to shop, and while there are some adorable boutique shops in town where I can definitely spend a pretty penny(esspecially during the annual wine run-that's a post all in itself), I miss real malls!  Being just minutes from a big mall and less than half-an-hour from the Galleria was something I definitely took for granted. 

Food.  Houston and the surrounding suburbs provide a plethora of options come dinnertime.  We have a few basic fast food restaurants and thanks to the oilfield, one "nice" restaurant in town, but other than that, our selection is pretty limited.  We can head about 30 minutes to Victoria for a few more options but my once weekly staple, Chipotle, is not one of them.   Waaahhhhh!  (Seriously, if anyone wants to send me a chicken burrito bowl...i'll be forever in your debt!)

(Oh sweet chicken burrito bowl, how I miss you!)

 



Places To Go.  Although we don't go out very often now that we are parents, it's nice to have options when you decide to fork out on a babysitter and hit the town.  There are a few places to go in Victoria, but definitely nothing to write home about.  In Houston you have TONS of options: you want Country? check.  You want a wine bar? check.  You want a dance club? check.  You want a dive bar? check.  You want a hoighty toighty down town club? check.    Get my drift?

My Friends.  I have some of the most amazing lifelong friends a girl could ask for.  I have made some GREAT friends here like this lovely lady :

 but there are definitely a few that I miss all the time.  Luckily everytime we go in for a visit I can usually see at least one if not more of these awsome ladies.

My Bestie.  I luuurrrrrvvvvve her!

My Family.  I am probably the biggest Daddy's girl you will ever meet.  My Daddy is my rock and my go to for any advice.  Sucks that I don't get to see him all the time.  I definitely wish my parents were closer to me.  All of the siblings are spread pretty thin from Texas to California, wish I could see all of them more.  Can you believe my parents have 9 grandchildren???? yikes!

 

 



 

I hope yall are having a great week so far.  I'll be spending the rest of my evening sipping on some Cab and catching up on all my favorite blogs.
