BLUE BELL


We have found a taste of home - right here in New York City!
BLUE BELL Ice Cream & BBQ.


Last night we spent a really nice evening in the city with our fellow Texan friends Jeff & Cindy Thompson. We met Jeff & Cindy in October while we were selling tickets for the Shane & Shane concert. It was so exciting to meet people who could understand our Texas roots! Over the past months we have enjoyed many outings with them. Just last night Chris was commenting on how amazing it is to look back on their lives and our lives up to this point & to see the relationships, circumstances, opportunities that God allowed to bring us together for this season. We praise God for this season!


Cindy is the perfect NYC tour guide! She always has a new restaurant to try - so this week it was Texas BBQ @ Hill Country BBQ. We have been to some NJ BBQ places and have had some success, but its hard to beat the atmosphere and excitement of the city! There is just so much great stuff all in one place.

This trip was via the North Hoboken ferry so we could stop by and pick up Jeff from work. It was while we waited for Jeff that Chris figured out there was much to celebrate at dinner....it was Cindy's birthday! We didn't even know. We were so thrilled to be apart of her big day!

We ended the evening back at the Thompson condo overlooking the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline. Another great night in the Northeast.

How fun! Any place that knows to serve Blue Bell for dessert has to be a great place! Happy to see you found some Texas "roots" even in New Jersey/New York!
