highs and lows

well after returning from seattle and making a mad dash to san antonio, i spent a wonderful day with breah in fulshear picking out wedding flowers and running wedding errands. we had a great time hanging out at her parents’ house that evening and her mom made the best meal ever. not really a surprise though. :) michelle and jessica arrived later that night and we drank blue margaritas, compliments of stephanie…perfectly shaken, not stirred. saturday we had breah’s lingerie shower and she got tons of adorable honeymoon loot! (can i please just mention that stephanie is the most talented party planner i know.) later that day we did the girl thing at the spa and that night we had breah’s bachelorette party. we ate at el tiempo and went to open city bistro afterwards for a toast from the rooftop bar overlooking the city. here is where the awesome part comes in. i can say that now…my heel got caught in their wood staircase and i fell on the last step - onto a concrete floor below. my entire purse’s contents were everywhere and the manager quickly helped me up. my poor knees. i was super embarrassed, got all my stuff, and we headed out the door. it wasn’t until late that night when i got home that we discovered that the diamond to my engagement ring was missing from my setting. yep, it’s a low alright. the next day dustin and i went to open city and looked for the diamond with no luck. i was completely sick to my stomach. that said, memorial day was a bummer at our place. dustin and i were both sick with colds and bummed about my ring. we packed and watched dog whisperer and somehow that seemed to make things better. my aunt, uncle, and cousins came over to pick some furniture up monday night and we had dinner at molina’s. it was so great to have some out of town guests and be distracted by wonderful company…that reminds you of what is really important.

it’s strange to get rid of all of your things and get down to the basics…i am talking about eating pad thai on your carpet with a milk crate as a table. you realize how little you really need for good conversation and a tasty meal. life goes on. we are getting excited about our trip and more and more things are disappearing from our place. we are down to couches, a bed, and a bookshelf for furniture….haven’t had a TVs in a week. just quiet. lots of time to ponder what lies ahead.
