perfection

Monday mornings already rough. Throw in a computer that doesn't work and a 10AM meeting and that makes for a late post. Seriously, this stupid PC makes me want to run home and hug my Mac.

I wrote those three lines above at 11AM and now it's noon. So yea, Monday morning has NOT been perfection. But this weekend? OH, this weekend was.

A and I got into Houston on Wednesday night and talked to my mom a bit before heading to bed. Thursday night we cooked my parents dinner and drank a lot of champagne. Try it, your Thursday night will thank you. Your Friday headache will not.

Friday:
Our offices closed a bit early due to St. Patty's day celebrating so A and I headed over to my sister's house with my mom. We were at the park from 4 until 7. It was PERFECT weather and running around with Reid was a blast. That little guy is not afraid of anything at the moment and it makes for a lot of fun.

Reid "blowing" bubbles - dinner time! - branching out with new outfit choices. Hey guys! Go to Gap, the shorts are adorbs.

One of my sister's friends from high school and his wife met us and we headed to dinner at Coppa near their house. It was DELICIOUS. And the drinks were out of this world. Combine that with hilarious dinner conversations and it was the perfect night.

Moscow Mule - Bellini. Hello heaven.

Saturday:
I woke up bright and early and SO READY for lunch with Ashley! My sister (can you tell I like her a lot?) told me about the cutest place ever, Tiny Boxwoods, near the galleria so we met there. And to prove that she really is the sweetest person EVER, Ashley drove an hour (each way!) to meet me there! We talked for almost THREE hours - and it was just like I was chatting away with a friend I'd known my whole life. How lucky did I get on my first blate?! We already know for sure that we will be meeting up the next time I'm in town (and our pups, too!) and I can't wait for that day. psssssst Alexa, join us on that one!! pweeeeeeese!

How cute are we? - Buffalo burger + white wine mojito. It was the best burger I have EVER had. - The beautiful Tiny Boxwoods! Anyone want to come join us on the next date?

And I have to mention again how sweet she is because she brought me gifts! with bows on them! I seriously can't believe how lucky I am to have found such amazing friends through this blog. I may have also started a box of fun goodies to send to her soon :)

I'm wearing the gold bracelet right now and immediately put the keychain on. Love it!!

Saturday night we laid low and had dinner at my best friend's house, she's in town with her fiance' for their spring break. YES - I am jealous.

Sunday:

We packed up and headed out to my sister's house (again, are you senseing a theme?) to drop off Bowden before heading to brunch for my BIL's birthday. It was the perfect day to eat outside - how nice of it to go along with my weekend of perfection.

Reid smiles, sleepy man after lunch - The kid is OBSESSED with water!

lunch yummies - brunch for me and a hot dog for A

And now I will do like Bowden and take a nap, that was one crazy weekend!
