Fro Yo Adventure

Unfortunatetly, college has gotten the best of Jessica and me these past two weeks because we have been so busy that even though we live together we have barely seen each other! This week I did not see her from about late Monday afternoon to midday on Wednesday. She has been working on a group project for her fashion merchandising classes that has literally taken up any free time she might otherwise have had. We decided that because of how busy we both were that we would set aside time once a week to do something just her and I. We agreed that no matter how chaotic our lives got we would have at least one meal a week where we would go out together for either dinner or desert, or preferably both.

Last week we decided to go to this new frozen yogurt (also known as “fro yo”) place called Yogalait, that is located right next to Chick Fil A and Central Market. (I strongly recommend trying this place out). A little word of advice, those of you out there who loving toppings be warned. I myself was completely overwhelmed with the copious amounts of toppings to choose from. Yogalait charges by the ounce, so customers can get as much yogurt or in my case toppings as they want! I guess you can say I went a little topping crazy because in my yogurt I decided to get a combination of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, graham cracker and cheesecake bites and it was only three dollars!!!! Now for all the penny pinching college students out there, this place is a gold mine!

North Texas is infamous for having crazy thunderstorms, and the night of our “fro yo” adventure there was a “lightning” storm above Fort Worth. On the drive back from Yogalait, Jessica and I were so dumbfounded by the storm that we pulled over off of Hulen into a random parking lot to try and watch the storm. This ingenious idea of mine was not quite successful because unfortunately when we pulled over the direction in which the storm was covered by trees. It seemed that the only place where we could properly see the storm was on Hulen itself. We ended up driving on Hulen between 25 and 30 miles an hour on the overpass between West Vickery and the Walgreens off of Hulen. Now because this was later at night I felt no qualms about doing this. I know it was not the safest thing to do, but honestly if you had seen this storm you would have done the same thing. (Plus I looked and was being very cautious there were no cars behind me or next to me). Oh, and do not worry I had already finished my frozen yogurt before I started driving, no dining and driving for me.

Our first “fro yo” outing was very successful if I do say so myself. We witnessed one of nature’s greatest phenomena’s, as well as satiated our taste buds with delicious frozen yogurt (and toppings). The weekly outing continued this week with another trip to Yogalait, unfortunately there was no lightning storm, but just some much needed quality time between roomies and friends.
