so right now i am thinking...

that these flip-flops i am wearing really have some pop to them.

did someone say mafia queso...

last weekend nathan and i made a trip out to lubbock to visit some friends of ours, brad and craig, who are freshmen out at Texas Tech. really i just gotta say thanks to those guys for the incredible weekend and for allowing nathan and i to re-live our glory days or as nathan kept refering to as the "walk of shame." we sort of just let that part go.

but i had a blast. what with our attempt at getting some sleep while camping out in buffalo springs canyon, to frisbee golf on campus and watching the football team throttle sam houston jr. high, to just hanging out at sugar browns coffee shop watching brad and craig slam raspberry white chocolate mocha blended frappes before the dust storm of '05 blew us back to the dorms. some events that transpired this weekend will only be released with the directors cut which won't be out until next year. what's said in lubbock, stays in lubbock if you know what i mean.

but i hope the guys had fun. there really are some gems in lubbock. you just have to dig a little to find them.

good luck to all those who are now freshmen in college. don't skip class too much. only when you really need to. and trust me, there will be days when you absolutely "need" to.

honey dews, cantaloupes, and creating that first space...

I think the dust has settled down now or at least i would like to think it has. it's been a week now since we've moved michelle into her new apartment. the place looks great. much nicer than i would have thought we could have come up with but the opening of ikea couldn't have come at a better time. i think i have put together every piece of furniture they have to offer.

it's funny, in about a hundred days this place will be our place. what a reality check. it's the second time in my life now i've had the realization that i am treading on unfamiliar ground. the first time was sitting outside a restaurant in vancouver with mish just two days after asking her to marry me. i gotta be honest it's scary. but so wonderful all at the same time. i can't wait to be married to her. she's amazing.
