"if he didn't fully understand where I came from, he understood who I was now-he knew how well done I liked my steak, knew the color of my toothbrush, the expression I made when I realized I'd forgotten to roll up my car windows before it rained."
It was a beautiful weekend shared with good, old friends. Em and Tommy seemed completely in sync with each other and couldn't keep their hands off each other. It was great to witness. It had been a while since I'd been to a wedding; I still cry upon seeing the bride. Guess that will never end. There are worse things.
I grew up spending my summers in the Texas Hill Country at Camp Longhorn and have tubed down the Guadalupe more times than I can count, but it has been quite a while since I have been surrounded by the beauty of South Texas and I quickly remembered what a proud Texan I am. We stayed in a beautiful cabin on the river and were immersed in stunning Texas landscape all weekend. We listened to Willie, had margaritas for lunch, shopped under the hot sun at the market, survived magnificent springtime Texas thunderstorms, witnessed as the long wedding ceremony tempted mother nature, danced to silly pop songs and brilliant covers of Fade Into You & Dead Flowers (thank you Caitlin) stayed up late and got up early. It was a magical first weekend away from the boys, I am grateful for every moment & happy to home with a pocketful of memories and a sweet new fedora. Kelly & I wrote on rocks for Em & Tommy...I hope they enjoy our quotes...
