I went to Midland last Thursday. I had such a good time and some of the best parts were that we didn't run around constantly. I got to spend a lot of time just spending time with my future husband. But of course we did fun things too!
That is Sara and she hosted the party. It was so generous and absolutely adorable. She and I are going to be really good friends, I can already tell.
One thing about Sara, when she throws a party, she goes all out. She had pictures of Matt and I framed all over the house. She used the invitations as decorations. She's really creative.
Like I said, Matt and I kept it pretty low key. We went to some gardening stores and worked on the garden (can't wait til it blooms!). And we did make time for some good drinks.
What you're seeing here is what they call a "Coronarita". Which is basically what it sounds like: A Corona poured into a margarita. I'll be trying one of those again. Just to make sure I liked it the first time....
And Pistol Pete got his first Pistol Pete!! When you squeeze it, it plays the "wave the wheat" song (sorry, I have no idea what the actual title is....). So we waved the wheat allllll weekend. At least he loved it! True Cowboy!!
We even made some time on Sunday to kill some fake birds. You'll be happy to hear that I can sport an impressive 6% accuracy. What what! Or maybe you'll be happy to hear that I can sport pink eye protection and vest. Which ever you prefer.
So I guess we actually did do a lot, but it didn't seem nearly as crazy as it normally does. It helped that I was there from Thursday to Monday afternoon instead of my old days of 48 hours or less.
I am actually excited to call Midland my home. It will never be home like Northeast Oklahoma, but it will do for a while. I get to enroll at Texas Tech tomorrow! Woo!
Thesis defense is April 13th. I'll be spending the weekend in Stillwater working because that's how I roll these days.
Special shout out to Jessica W for getting engaged this weekend! Wish I could have been there! At my own bachelorette party, she was there, and I may or may not have had a glass of wine or two and I kept thinking... don't ruin the surprise, do NOT tell Jessica. Don't even talk to Jessica too much, don't be an idiot.... It was very stressful. So I wasn't giving her the cold shoulder, I just was very nervous that I could ruin one of the most special days of her life! Or ruin the surprise factor any way. Any way, congrats again!
