wow, i am really behind here and i havent even updated on my previous weekend with alli and nicole. it was much anticipated and apparently hard to recover from because i am just now sitting down to talk about it. it was such an amazing time!! i had 4 tests to take after they left and a full week of work so thats why i am just now getting around to talk about what happened.
well, i stayed up really late on wednesday night cleaning and trying to get my apartment ready for guests (cause we all know i didnt clean early like i was supposed to). and then on thursday morning got up fairly early to take a shower and get last minute things done and then i hit the road for dallas. i wanted to go early because i wanted to stop by and see julie's new baby, avery-kate. and did and she was so adorable. julie looked great and she and brian were just so happy, it was such a good time. then i had to leave to head to the airport...
so i managed to navigate myself through the dfw airport...barely...and ran inside and surprised alli and nicole before they could surprise me!! i was seriously so happy to see them...i couldnt believe they were actually finally in texas. and neither could they!! hahahaha. they kept saying their texas lines of the weekend "dang yall" and "honky tonk". so funny. and strange. we get their luggage and get everything loaded in the car and we were off to andy and tyler's apartment...
a few missed turns and a little bit of unsure navigation, one phone call to my dad to get us on the right track, and we made it! hahahaha. stupid dallas airport. so we get to the boys apartment and sit around and debate dinner for a while and manage to decide on saltgrass...a very texas steakhouse. we wanted the girls to experience texas to the fullest...longhorns on the wall and accents and flags everywhere. it was perfect. dinner was awesome, well, for those of us that eat meat - i am sure alli would have preferred somewhere else, but she was a good sport. then we were off to downtown ft. worth...
pete's piano bar. so much fun!! the dueling piano players were amazing...they seriously know every song you request. so it was kind of like a big sing-a-long and a live jukebox. we would get so excited when they played a song that we requested. some of it was a little embarrassing to watch, but overall it was so much fun. then of course we had to go to karaoke...it was one of nicoles goals for the weekend and definitely one of her favorite things to do. and we all know why, she is freaking amazing on stage. even the boys were impressed. so, karaoke was hilarious and so much fun. nicole got called a yankee...andy sang the usual jimmy buffett...tyler did a horrible rendition of 'sexual healing'...i sang my first karaoke ever...alli forgot the words to 'if i had a million dollars'. it was basically a mess and great all at the same time. it was so much fun and there are so many ridiculous pictures. i drove everyone home, so i got to drive the truck...which i LOVE!! and we sang and laughed the whole way. so much fun. thursday was such a great day...no sleep at all that night, but so much fun.
got up at 7:15 on friday morning and woke the girls up and we hit the road for austin...we ended up getting to town pretty early, before 11 and coming back to the apartment and relaxing for a bit. we got moving and walked around, got some food and just wandered. stopped and heard a show that was playing outside and got some free ice cream. we were all exhausted so we ended up coming back to my apartment and watching movies and taking naps...sorta. then we got up and showered and got ready to go out for the night. we had plans to meet up with sarah and kat and their husbands and alyssa and paul at hula hut for dinner. we had a really long wait there, but it was so nice outside that i dont think anyone really minded. dinner was great and really fun, i was glad all of my friends got to meet each other. then alli, nicole, me and alyssa and i all headed downtown for the night. it was madness downtown!! we wandered around 6th street and stopped in random bars along the way...the night ended at beauty bar where we danced our faces off. it was so much fun!! then home because we were exhausted.
saturday started out with a little bit of shopping, unsuccessful shopping, but we tried. then we went to the park to scope out the band scene and see when the shows we wanted to see where going to be. then we just relaxed and laid around...a few more movies and naps...and then it was time to head out for the night. i had to do my merch girl business at 5 for feeding5000 so we did that first, then walked down to waterloo park where we saw the shows that alli and nicole really wanted to see. the weather was perfect and we were having such a great time. then we walked downtown and we were gonna see nicole's friends from new york...they were playing a show on 6th street. that show was fun and the boys in the band were super fun. we stayed and saw another show from a band that we had discovered the night before and decided we loved. then we left and went and hung out with nicole's friends...the boys from lights resolve. band boys are always fun. hahaha. so we had a good time being silly with them and then we were just ready to call it a night. we make a quick stop by taco bell on the way home and came home and devoured it. amazing.
sunday we got up and had a hard time getting moving, i think the weekend was finally catching up to us. we ran around, did a few things, but we didnt have much time because we had to hit the road for dallas to take them back to the airport. we got stuck in a little bit of traffic (which was kind of expected), but we ended up making it to the airport in plenty of time. i dropped the girls off...sad...and then i headed over to andy's for a bit to hang out because it was still so early. and because he and tyler make me laugh.
all and all the weekend was amazing. exhausting, but amazing. i was super sad to see them go, but we are planning our next trip and we are gonna make it great. i love when the three of us are together - the trouble we can get into is always a good time. i want to do it again very very soon!! thanks for coming girl!!
