Dallas....

This past weekend I headed to Dallas for a wedding....and to get to hang out with some of my favorite people in the world. Yep. They are. I mean, KJ lived with me for 3 years and didn't kill me in my sleep, so I mean, we have to be good friends :)  ha, ha.

Our friend TW was getting married, and he was roomates with KJ's husband T for all of college and for the years after college...needless to say, KJ and I both know him quite well. And I wouldn't miss a wedding with these peeps for anything....because when it is a college reunion, well, you know it is going to be a good time.

Friday night I had dinner with my friend SM, and it was SO great to see her and catch up....I think it turned into more of a counselling session than a gossip session, but well, that is the way it works sometimes! And even better, I got to see her cute little baby bump -- and baby SM kicked when I was leaving -- I think she just wanted to say "bye fake aunt K".

On Saturday KJ and I played around and then finally made it to the wedding...an hour after we wanted to arrive :) you see, her husband was the best man...and wasn't feeling so hot. So it was our intention to get there early to make sure everything was okay....instead we got there in time to sit in the 2nd to last pew and watch the wedding begin!

Here we are waiting for the picture taking to end. T came over to hang out with us in the back of the church, and showed us his button they got him:


The best thing about it  - it could have meant two things -- best man (the appropriate response) or it could have meant bowel movement (more as a joke) because he was SICK...like really sick. And he had spent a LOT of time in the bathroom in the last 24 hours....

Which is why KJ and I had to leave the reception at one point to go and buy this:


which of course, I had to capture the moment. I mean, you wouldn't expect anything less!! ha! The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a ton of fun....for one, I got to hang out with some fabulous people...below is our friend B who just got back from Bali and I haven't seen his sweet face since he was back. And not only did I get to see his face, I got to see his sweet moves on the dancefloor too!


And any reception where you can get both  B and T on the dancefloor, well, it is definitely going to be good times. And KJ and I always have good times, especially when we are drinking this....


Don't worry, I got up and went to the gym that morning and the morning after to work off all of those glasses of champange! And let's be honest, I worked a few of them off on the dancefloor. you have to love waking up the next morning and your abs hurt from the moves you tried to pull the night before. LOVE THAT.


Here is the groom (on the left) with his two roommates after college. The best part is someone yelled, "where is the other roommate" and B's wife (in the middle) got into the picture. HILARIOUS. We were all cracking up.

And I keep mentioning the dancefloor....and rightfully so. I mean, this crew is out of control. Which is reason 395 why I adore them. I was taking a picture of JP's wife going crazy...and of course, as soon as he saw me trying to take a picture, he stopped dancing and posed for me...


And the best thing was that she ended up ripping her dress in the process. HA! That means you are having fun on the dance floor!!! and I was cracking up taking pictures of KJ and T, and I caught this one...soooo perfect.

It was a good time...especially getting to spend time with KJ...man, I just adore her. We have been friends since our freshman year in college, lived together for 3 years, and have been through so much together...I just can't say enough good things about her...sh e is absolutely fantastic. And my hair is a bit funky..yes, I know, that is only because we had just got off the dancefloor to get some more champange!!!


And I will leave you with the H's...I am SO excited as they are expecting their first baby in a few months. YAHOOOOO!!! One more trip to Dallas to celebrate Baby H is in my future!!!


And I got to round out the weekend with a lunch with the G's...baby E slept almost the whole time, which was good because it gave me plenty of time to catch up with her mommy and daddy! It was so great to see them -- and hopefully we can get them to Houston soon! I miss my MG!!!

It was a fabulous weekend, leading into this week where I am volunteering for the American Diabetes Association Diabetes Camp for kids (and their siblings) with Diabetes. A week off of work - WOO-HOOOOO!!!!! Playing with kiddos -- DOUBLE WOOO-HOOOO!!!! I'll update more later!
