A Great Weekend

This weekend I made a trip up to the metroplex to see my fabulous friends that live way to far from me. It was a FABULOUS weekend and the Rogue was a wonderful companion in traveling! There's just nothin' like some good ole girl time with your college friends. This weekend was so a flashback of our days in college. (And yes, that was only 3 months ago for me!)

Currently, Raven is attending SWBTS (Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) in Ft. Worth and Jen is up there working for the American Heart Association. I am so proud of my girls! They are living together until Jen gets married in December (Woo Hoo!) so it was even better because I didn't have to house hop while I was visiting! I did bed hop, however! One night with each of my girls!

We really didn't do a whole lot, which I was totally okay with because it was really a mini-vacation for me. Doing nothing has really never sounded better. Plus, who needs tons of stuff to do when we have each other. I mean, we do entertain ourselves. Enough said.

However, the things we did do included trying on our bridesmaids dresses for Jen's wedding, which I absolutely LOVED, ate Mexican food, ate Italian food, ate BBQ, went to Target, watched 27 Dresses (for the millionth time), and last but not least, had a Chick-fil-A picnic on the stairs of SWBTS before the grand tour. And, oh, what a picnic it was!

I love these girls. Seriously. I love that even though it has been way to long since I have spent a substantial amount of time with either of them, we can pick up right where we left off. I am truly blessed to have the friends that I have and I so don't take them for granted!

I love you, Jen and Raven! Thank you for making this weekend so fun and relaxing for me. It was EXACTLY what I needed! Huge hugs your way! (P.S. If you are wondering...yes, that is my Biolage stuff in the bathroom that I left! Don't use it ALL up!) ;)

Enjoy some pictures of my fabulous Ft. Worth weekend!
Here starts the craziness that is picture taking. This is our only "normal" picture of the night, so be aware!
Trying to do a funny pose?
This is my favorite picture EVER! I don't think we had one bit of fun at our picnic on those glorious stairs of SWBTS! Oh, the memories! ;)
Then we tried this pose...
Right after this picture, our photographer, who happened to be Raven's good friend, fell while taking our picture. We were laughing so hard we couldn't get ourselves together...
More laughing...
Can you tell how tickled we were?!
Finally we were able to smile! :)
The soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Jasper! :)
Right before I left to head home! Love these girls!
And I love their cute little home!

Roomies!!
On my way home I stopped in Corsicana for a bit to see Joanna and her family! Her parents literally moved there this week so I was able to see their cute town house they are living in while their house is being built! We also toured the town a bit! It was a nice break from driving!
Love you all! Have a wonderful Monday! (And yes, Monday's really can be wonderful!)

Hey Lindsee (I love the way you spell your name)! I'm going to Siesta Fiesta too. I was just wondering if you were going to be in San Antonio on Friday morning/afternoon and didn't have any plans. I'm just asking around to see if anybody wants to go to Six Flags over San Antonio. I was looking for people around my age since I'd think maybe they'd have a higher chance of being a roller coaster fan. So just let me know if you're interested or know someone who is. Thanks!
