today was a long day, i didn't finish work until after 7. Bauer and I went on a very long walk. it was great. the weather was simply amazing and i was so glad to be outside enjoying the day. Bauer liked it too. Oh to be almost 9 months old again, ha, although it would be fun to be strolled around every once in a while!
I really love fall. i love the crisp mornings and breezy afternoons with carolina blue skies. bonfires where we can roast marshmallows, fairs, camp outs, football and great tv. it really is the best.
My roommate's birthday was this past weekend. It was wonderful. Friday we went to dinner at Big Daddy's, went to starbucks, played chicken foot, watched when harry met sally, baked cookies, and best of all.... surprised her with a boy. Not just any boy. Brandon Wong made an appearance for the weekend. Now I know that many of you have no clue who Brandon is, but to Laci... well lets just say they are rather fond of each other! He came for her birthday. Flew all the way from Chicago just to spend time with her. That's quality right there folks! He is a very very cool guy and after spending some time with him this weekend, really think he needs to move to the south again and re-plant those southern roots he once had! Saturday was the Hoe down. YEEHAW. Angela and I spent the day together enjoying lunch at Dickadee's Deli and shopping for a great present. We played corn hole and ladder golf, dined on some sloppy joes, grilled corn, root beer floats and played a great game of catch phrase where I said people could buy pirated dvd's in chinatown. WHAT? I never said I was good! Sunday Brandon, Laci and I went to Cabo Fish Taco. Not really my cup of tea, but it was ok. I got blocked in and then tried to squeeze through this crack. I started yelling, I can't do it, i just can't do it. Brandon got in the car and proceed to try, and then I got scared, went and found the rightful owner and she was like... you have got to be kidding me that you were actually going to try and get through here. the car made it out fine! Sunday night was church and then I took Brandon to the airport. Come back soon!
Ok, so the best part.... TONIGHT...
I get on facebook's wonderful new chat feature and find a friend that I haven't spoken to in many many many years. We started chatting and making up for lost time and my heart was just happy. i cried. over facebook chat (it happens to the best of us), and thanked God for being faithful and loving. She was one of my most favorite people and saw me through some pretty terrible times. I am so thankful I serve a God who's heart longs for restoration and puts that desire in His people. Oh I just can't get over His goodness. I've prayed many years for this day, and it was today. I'm so glad to have her back!
