The Road Goes on Forever and the Party Never Ends...

Memorial Day Weekend 2012

New Braunfels, Texas

Tubing down the Guadalupe River with old friends and new friends...

Perfection.

Run Away for a While

 

Sometimes... you just need to get away...

Let's be real....

I'd never stay put if I didn't have to have a job that kept me in one place for this long...

So, to put it incredibly mildly... I'M RESTLESS

Like, about to jump out of my skin...can't breathe type of restless.

I want to run away in any direction.

No plan... no destination... just open my eyes someplace I've never been...

So, this weekend... I am going to join some old friends on a trip 

to the Lonestar state to float down some river I've never heard of...

I'm thrilled for the idea of catching up with a group of people

I love but rarely get to spend time with.

And, I absolutely cannot wait to be someplace new

just for awhile...

My Mother's Daughter...

Someone told me once that our souls decide, before we are born, who our parents will be. I always loved that; the idea that my soul chose hers. No other mother would have fit. Thank you for 27 years of love, faith, and sacrifice. Thank you for never asking me to be any person other than who I am.

I am so honored to be your daughter and

I hope you have an amazing Mother's Day!

I love you,

Your big eared, Big eyed daughter... :)

Cause We Are... We Are Shining Stars...

We had a festival last weekend, which basically means that tourists from all over the world invaded our city to run amok and throw inhibition to the wind. Of course, as locals, we were more than happy to accommodate the wild side of those who were playing eclectic music, cooking food that we only have once a year, and indulging our most narcissistic selves.

As for my loves and I, we spent the weekend wandering around aimlessly for hours and laying on a grassy knoll in the sunshine while music drifted along the breeze. There were kids running and laughing all around us, adults playing with hoola hoops and speaking in foreign languages... We danced in the moonlight with new friends and reunited with old friends... We laughed and drank until we couldn't remember our names; and left glitter everywhere we went... Then, when Sunday morning made it's appearance, we were sitting on a porch with spirits we adore, welcoming 4 am with sparklers and love...
