St Pattys Day & More

Its been a while since the last blog. Working really hard at Dickeys so finding it hard to take the time to catch up with this. So here goes:
I celebrated St Patricks day twice, firstly on the street parade on greenville avenue. See the photo for all the people wearing green, these people love Ireland!!
Then Sarah had a St Pattys day party, with a lucky charm theme. Based on the cereal, so we made a cocktail for every different charm!!

These drinks included Green Jello Shots, Goldschlager, Vodka with Skittles etc!!!

The Leprechaun finding his pot of gold!!!!!!!!


The weekends have been amazing, laying out by the pool, sunbathing (or burning in my case!!) and barbecue.
We went our to a nice wine bar at the weekend after a meal for Sarahs birthday, then an english bar called Ringos, just like being back home!!

March so far

Im really enjoying the Marketing job at Dickeys Barbecue Pit, lots of responsibility and learning lots about the world of barbecue.

It's official, see my business card below!! I get to wear cowboy boots everyday for work, so i'm thinking of investing in another pair. I love wearing my cowboy boots!!!


I decided to treat myself by buying a car, so after weighing up all the options, and considering that Texas reaches over 100 degrees during the summer months, I thought it would be cool to buy a convertible, (literally), Although you expect me to have stayed loyal to the US car brands, I really tried. But in the end, I went for a Mazda. (Apparently part owned by Ford, so that kind of counts!!!)

Here she is, a beauty i'm sure you would agree!!


The next few photos are just some pictures I took today while out and about exploring the surrounding area with Sarah. There was an outdoor Art exhibition today in the city of Frisco, it was lovely outside and driving there with the top down.







Works keeping me really busy, but I will try keeping the momentum going with regular blog updates.

 But it's all going great here, really enjoying my American Adventure!!
