Big D to the Big D

Big D (aka my little bro Daniel) came to the Big D (otherwise known as Dallas). How fitting is that?!?! Anyways here are some pictures from his visit:
The Red Museum with Reunion Tower in the background. 

 Daniel being really cool in front of the Red Museum and Reunion Tower.

 The Guadalupe Cathedral. The inside is quite impressive as well.

 Daniel being kind of silly.

I am no Miley Cyrus; even with my sweet Miley Cyrus pose. 

 

 I think there are a lot of Mav's fans in Dallas. Just to clarify, Daniel is not one of them.

 From the base of Reunion Tower where we had dessert.

 

The end. Thanks Daniel for coming to visit me!

please allow me to toot my own horn

I'm a really good cook.

So Daniel (my brother) is currently in town to visit (another post on that later). We've been having a pretty good time doing the whole Dallas thing...well at least I hope he is! Anyways, we were hanging out at my apartment on Friday night. Daniel walks out of the bathroom to call me in to look at something. I go into the bathroom, and what do I see???? I see two antenna sticking out of the overflow face plate (yes, I had to Google that term to know what it was called...perhaps you should Google it to in order to get the full visual. :) ). They were about 2 inches long. SICK.

We were on our way out to go to the Firewheel Mall, so we just left it there and went on our merry little way. When we returned, the nasty little guy made his appearance on the bottom of the bathtub! Don't worry though, the good pictures are on Daniels' phone, so you won't be completely disgusted by the semi-blurry pictures that I am about to post. 

We ran to Walgreen's, and this is what we purchased:

We were two people on a mission! It was gonna be a good night!!!!

Oh boy am I glad that Daniel was there to save me from this most dramatic event. :) The roach (at least we're pretty sure it was a roach) didn't even have a chance. The guy died in seconds.

I went to my apartment's office the very next day to report this little germ spreading incident. I dramatically told them the situation (ok, maybe I just explained it to them), and they were like, "ok, we'll send pest control out on Monday." WHAT!!!???!!! I could have died.
