So today has been a little on the bold side for me. I went to a mega-church today, and I had the 5-alarm burger at Red Robin. Now neither one of those are too extreme, but i'm proud of myself for both of them...lol.
About the church...
I went to Gateway Church today. My friend Elizabeth goes there and so I went with her. She carpools with about 15-30 other people. Today they had 18 so the rides up there and back are a lot of fun. The church is about 30-45 minutes away from campus so unfortunately it's not that close. I really liked the church...it was awesome. Music was awesome. Sermon was wonderful. The pastor preaches in biblical, applicable, funny way. So I loved it. The only bad part is because we go with so many people. Whatever the group's plan for lunch is...that's what my plans for lunch are. They go somewhere after church every sunday and spend about $10 a meal. Sorry but that's not in my budget. I could drive myself, but then I'm spending 30-45 minutes worth of gas doubled. So I don't think I'm going to go there. However, I will probably go there this coming Sunday because a guy from campus that I know will be playing in the worship band and he invited me to go on Sunday. But anyways, the church has two campuses...they watch a live feed at the other one. They also broadcast their services online. Between the two campuses they have 10 weekend services. They also have 16,000 people. So this is huge. They are about to build a whole new main campus too. And to think that 8 years ago the church started in somebody's living room with 30 people. God is at work!
5-Alarm Burger-DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!! We went to Red Robin for lunch after church. They have so many options for meals there. It is insane. There were several things that looked delicious on the menu. But I finally decided on the 5-Alarm burger. This burger comes with seasoned meat, jalapenos, tomatos, lettuce, chipotle mayo (my new favorite thing EVER), tangy salsa, and pepperjack cheese (another new favorite). This burger is amazing!!!!! My mouth was on fire! And oh my gosh, the fries at Red Robin are amazing. Especially when you add the Red Robin seasoning to them. MMM.... And Liz got a oreo shake and she didn't want all of it so she shared with me. BEST shake I have ever had!!!! Red Robin=YUM!!!!
But now, unfortunately it's back to the mundane. Homework and sleep to get ready for the third week of school. It's going by really fast.
Oh, and last night I went to a coffeehouse in downtown dallas called Opening Bell with Liz to hear a girl from school sing. She was amazing. And I got a strawberry smoothie since I absolutely cannot seem to stand the taste of coffee unless it is in a Coffee-caramel milkshake from Chick-fil-a. So i stuck with my smoothie. I loved the atmosphere of the coffee shop. Unfortunately it itself wasn't in the best area. We passed a BIG party on the way there and we explored the building a little and almost accidently walked into a bar. Oopsss....but it was a great night! However I was trying to take pictures of the Dallas skyline from the parking lot and this guy that worked in the building told me i couldn't and that if anyone caught me they could fine me a lot of money. There were no signs posted so that was a little frustrated. I offered to delete them, but he said it would be alright....just to keep it in mind next time. Then I went to Liz's townhouse and chilled and watched a movie with her. Fun. Fun. Fun.
