bri came bri saw bri conquered



So a few weeks ago, my best friend flew all the way to Austin from San Fran to spend the last few hours of her birthday with me! (Also, you know, to visit me, see Austin, hang with the nieces & nephew, the usual reasons for a trip) Anyway, it was amazing. I can’t even express how right it felt to have my best friend in my city. If you didn’t already know I’m in a long term campaign to convince her to move here with her Husband once they start their family. I think this trip helped my cause. I had the best time, and promised Bri that I would return the favor and come visit her, which I am doing in 3 short weeks. Stay tuned for that! For now, just look how cute she is:

Grown up things



Briana April and I work at the same company, we’re also very close friends outside of the office. But when I call her at the office to talk about projects at work we both are in business mode and have very polite business conversations. The other day after such a phone call she emailed me and said “whenever we finish a phone conversation and say thank you to each other all formal like, I picture us like this” and sent me a link to this photo:
I couldn’t agree more.

Saturday Morning Breakfast



pan_breakfast We recently had our amazing friends the DeCarmo’s over for Saturday morning breakfast. The husbands decided to celebrate the occasion by drinking sparkling wine, and Liz took a panoramic photo of all the food. It was a great time, I tapped into my mom circa 2004 and made tater tots with italian seasoning instead of hash browns. They’re delicious.

Going Campin’ Going Campin’



This past weekend was amazing! We (Josh + I ) had the opportunity to go camping with some good friends, and some new friends. Any time I get to spend the weekend with Josh is a special treat, anyway, but being outside is my favorite. Our friend Eli was there with his camera and he captured some random moments of this incredible, hot, bug filled, crazy, fun adventure.

Thanks to everyone for coming out and making memories with us and a special thanks to Eli Goins for being so talented with that camera!

Chats from the Past: Episode 3



My lovely Lindsay and Her Man, Brendan

My lovely Lindsay and Her Man, Brendan

Occasionally I stumble upon past G chats or Facebook messages between myself and a friend or Josh, that at the time were probably sincere, but now are just too funny.

Conversation with the beautiful Lindsay Lee Barta that took place on July 1st, 2011 over G chat:

Lindsay: I don’t even want to live in our world anymore because I love the Hunger Games trilogy so much.
Me: LOL
Lindsay: I feel like I did when I was 14 and obsessed with NSYNC.
Me: I’m going to read it now, I can’t take it!
Lindsay: Good! I need someone to show internet memes that only I find hilarious to. (ignore the fact that I ended that with a preposition please)
Me: Ignored

I’m glad I read it.

The Hunger Games actually changed my literary life. This is so right on.

This is how we did the fourth of July up right. Crappy iPhone shots of an impromptu party that didn’t get planned until half way through the day!
