Catching up on life seems important if
you think about it. The other day I wanted to know what I was doing
the last Olympics so I scrolled through four years of my blog. Yep,
there it was! I had just started dating Nick so it chronicled all of
our fun – that summer was one of the best times ever. Good times to
look back! Let's see...
We had a girl's night this week at
Andrea's new place in Las Colinas. Yes, with just about the same
girls mentioned in the blog four years ago. Kacie, Jana, Andrea,
Raelyn, Kathryn... and a few other gals... even my sorority sister,
Summer, who lives around the block from Andrea came!!! So wonderful
to catch up with her! We chased around Kacie's two year old, Gavin
and just chit-chatted and ate appetizers... seems like the night
passed in a flash. It is so important to get together with
girlfriends. Many of us are at different places in our lives. Summer
has two little girls, Jamie almost has two, Raelyn just got married,
one gal just broke up with her boyfriend, then there's Andrea, Jana
and I on the cusp of engagement one day.
Last weekend we went to Nikki's
birthday party at Oscar's... awesome... You know how much I love the
Rubio family. I am an honorary one after growing up next door to
them!!! We hung out there until about 2 AM- that is how much fun I
have with Cody, Kristy and his entire family. They make me laugh
beyond words. I got to talking to Jeremy's girlfriend, Rahma all
about her country of Egypt – she is half Armenian as well. I was
just astonished to hear about some things there. They put on your ID
if you are Christian or Muslim. She comes from a Christian family is
fearful for her dad to visit there because he might be killed. It's
weird how we think we have come so far... but, hasn't it always been
this way? My gosh, to be killed for your religion? Decades ago they
were killing Jews... in the Bible they were killing for this or that
belief... does it ever stop? I know we hear about it in other
countries, but it was weird to hear another Christian speaking about
it. She is just amazing, I could have listened to her all night. She
knows four languages and their two-year-old son already speaks three!
Always keeping busy. I don't believe we
have a free weekend until October!!! Love it!!! I'm going home this
weekend to Midland and am very excited to see the family. Chandra
just moved into their new house, but sometime when we both have more
time and I drive down I will get out there to see it. I dream of my
house growing up a lot so it is never forgotten, of course. Everyone
knows about my nightmares... ugh, they never cease. Mom was back last
week and she had lost a lot of weight, she was wild and trying to run
away from us. I don't know why... someone said maybe it is because
when I lost her I was a freshman in college and my version of
“wild”... which wasn't really wild, but free, I guess. Oh well,
it's not so bad, just weird. Yes, Sarah was back, too, a few times,
of course, again – she had been hiding and never passed (I figure
this is just bc I never saw her body)... Sometimes we are back in
high school, sometimes we are just hanging out. With Mom, many times
we are at Goliad Middle School in her classroom, this time we were at
some random house. (I also think I dreamed this because Monday night
“Grimm” premiered and his mother came back from the dead after 20
years of hiding!)... Anyway, when I dreamed about my house, Dad,
Brenda and I were there and we hadn't moved out yet, but the new
family had moved in and I was very unhappy with their decorating and
moving my stuff! Who knows?!!! Not really sure if you can ever “fix”
dreams because it is the unconscious mind. It's cool to have Mom back
in them. So many things I don't recall or just slip away or maybe I
never really knew.
Okay blah blah... living it up!!!
