I drove all the way from MN to TX this week for two reasons, to get my girlfriends parents blessing on marrying her and to try a Lonestar beer... The trip was half successful.

1/2 successful...he has the beer!


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

If you do end up a married man you will no doubt realize what ever the in laws think you should do is a terrible idea.

Well, that is a quick trip in a couple different ways!
Congratulations.

Texas is a common law state so if a man and woman sign any document....
they are married in the eyes of civil Texas law.

Blessings,
Mark

Drove it a number of times back in 82 when in the army. Speed limit was 55 back then and enforced. Very long drive

She was here when it was -30, she didn't love it but it beats that disgusting 85+ degree weather they get in tx.

Should've grabbed some Crawford or shiner bock instead of that bottled creek water. How many Buc'ees you stop at on the trip?

We failed to stop at buccees and regret it! Went to ft worth stock yards and had a decent steak at cattleman's. The trip was a bit more tense than anticipated, glad to be back home. The lonestar was not bad, pretty typical light beer.
