Big D

Eleven years ago today Bryon and I packed up a U-Haul and left Columbia for Dallas. We stopped at Margarita Grill, where we both had worked, to pick up our last paychecks and say goodbye to some friends. Our boss gave us $50. It seemed like a lot of money. Over two days, we drove (with our cats Biscuit and Nash crouching behind the seats) from Columbia to Dallas, stopping in Fort Smith to see Bryon's mom. In the afternoon of the second day we made it to the 5902 Village Glen Drive, where we lived for the next year.
