To recap what I would call a rather successful weekend:

Friday:
Pool and Beer definitely happened with my momma.
It was wonderful.

Saturday:
There was a wedding at the rents house.
Considering it was 111 degrees at  5:00 pm, the whole thing went off without a hitch.
Although, I would prefer to avoid the disgustingly hot weather. I was sweating my face off (literally).

Sunday:
I drove to Austin to pick up the HSLP.
There was Free Birds, Jamba, Hula Hut, Buffalo Exchange, and 6th Street.
There was also, only 3.5 hours of sleep, drunk dials, and conversations about Gingers.

Monday:
Me and Tamura ate some wonderful kirby lane, drove home, went to visit my rents, and then I delivered her to her momma. Incidentally, there was a party at my house... involving 6 immature adults, a leftover keg of blue moon from the wedding, Wii Bowling, and very inapropro conversation.

and to sum it all up....
I walked into the office looking something like this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

to my hslp. (click to go to her blog - it's lovely!) I'm leaving sunday morning to pick her up in Austin.. This collage is from out last adventure to Austin last July. The fun will definitely be repeated this year... there will be 6th Street Action, Barton Springs, good food... etc.

Tamura,
I cannot wait to see your face!! You are a wonderful person with a great spirit.... even though we don't live in the same state, you are my rock, one of the few people on this planet that truly understand me. I love you so much, you are such a blessing in my life!

Here's the thing about friends.

Friends, they know your flaws. They know your hopes and dreams. They encourage you to be the best you can be. They make you laugh. They're a shoulder when you're crying. Friends are always there.

I have the greatest bestie in the world...

and here's one reason why...

these are two cards that I've gotten in the mail in the last month:

 "Aspire to be barbie... the bitch has everything."

-Anon

"I think, therefore I'm single."

(i know they're backwards... i was too lazy to change them.)

I'm so blessed to have the wonderful friends that I do. Thanks hslp, for being wonderful, and always being there. Only someone who really knew me would know understand just how perfect these cards are... Sending light and love through the lovely internet from sunny San Angelo!
