The Yellow Rose of Texas

I'm not gonna say a thing about a yellow rose, but I needed a Texas-related title... and that's all I could come up with... :)
SO!
I just got back from Texas yesterday! I had a BLAST!! Man I miss those guys...
Thursday night when I got there, they threw a "party" for me, which was SO fun and for someone of my temperament, a bit embarrassing! It was awesome, though, and I'm glad they threw it for me. Friday Summer and Natalie both had to work, but Natalie's got cancelled (yet again), so she and I hung out for a big part of the day! Natalie had to go to work that afternoon, however, so we went to the Grapevine mall to meet Summer and her kiddos! Natalie went to work and Summer and I hung out for the rest of the day.
While Natalie and I were waiting for Summer, we found the bridesmaid's jewelry!! We walked up to a mall kiosk and were browsing, when Natalie said, pointing to a necklace, "See, that's what I had in mind... Actually, that's REALLY pretty!" The owner of the kiosk came around and promptly started BARTERING with us! We didn't even try! In the end, we got all three necklaces for 50% of her original price and the matching earrings for UNDER 50% of THEIR price! And we didn't have to pay ANY tax!! It was awesome!!! The necklaces are beautiful... they're all different, and I LOVE that!
So! Summer's kids and boss are the sweetest ever! She's really blessed to be with them. When we left that night, we trapsed to Wal-Mart and bought Pride and Prejudice! HOW FUN! We watched it Friday night... well, rather, THEY watched it Friday night! I definitely fell asleep as usual, but watched the rest the next morning. (Sidenote: I got Erich and David to watch Pride and Prejudice with me last night! It was wonderful!!! :)) Saturday Summer had to work again, but Natalie, Noelle, Ms. Debbie, Brennah, and Maggie and I all went to Dallas to get a table from Pottery Barn Kids. Goodness gracious! They have the cutest things EVER in there! It was so fun! I wanted some of that stuff for myself!! Anyways, that evening Natalie and Summer and I went out to eat... pretty uneventful, but so fun! Sunday morning Summer had to work YET AGAIN (poor Summer!)! We all went to church, which was AWESOME! I realized how much I need to find a stable church. Like... desperatly. We ate lunch with the Sutton/Griggs clan, Megan and Amanda, and then Natalie and I went to surprise Summer Dearest at work!! It was fun! We got ready there to go out that night with Noelle, Nina, and Samara. Natalie did my makeup and WOAH! It was a lot, but it looked REALLY good! We all went to Sundance Square that night and ate dinner at PF Chang's. It was so good! We had a blast!! As we were walking around afterward, we came across a man sitting on the ground in handcuffs guarded by 2 cops, and another man telling another cop, "...he was just harassing her..." So I guess that was the adventure of the night? Anyways, we all looked really good and ate at a really good restaurant and had a really GREAT time!!! Monday morning, Mr. Jim brought me to the airport and we had a good time getting to know each other...

Yep! that was my trip! PLAY BY PLAY!!
I know all that detail wasn't exactly necessary, but it was fun to recount!

My big brother is FINALLY home from Montana, so this weekend we're gonna celebrate his and my grandmother's birthdays! Horray! I get to see family!!!

I guess that's really all that's going on with me!!
LOVE Y'ALL!!!!
