Luckily my most favorite person in the world is very far from crazy. So when I looked at the calendar and realized her birthday was coming up, I thought it was a perfect excuse to hop on over to TX and play.
I left on Friday morning and stayed for an entire week! Good thing the Looch didn't fire me.
It was so wonderful to just spend time together doing normal, everyday stuff. We went to the mall, ate at fabulous restaurants, went to a birthday party for Mr. Awesome Himself, and watched a few movies. We also did a terrible job taking pictures together. Here's the only one of us that I snapped the entire week.
We were also able to tackle a project at her house. She was hoping to clean out her garage and transform it into a functional workspace, so of course I was happy to help. It's always fun to watch a space become what you've envisioned...and she has a fantastic eye.
She and her roommate had quite a bit of stuff accumulating that needed to be either donated, stored in the attic, or placed somewhere in the garage.
Once we organized and cleaned everything out we were able to (almost) finish painting the walls and the floor.
And then it was time to decorate and arrange! We were both so thrilled with the way it turned out (thanks wholly to her vision) and I can't wait for them to begin using the space. How great will it be when the weather warms up and they can open the garage doors while working?
The trip ended with CAKE! It was such a treat to share in celebrating her birthday - I miss the years when it was just a given that we'd be together.
So, as always, I had a fantastic time and wish it wasn't so long in between visits. Luckily Sisty is marrying a Texan and his family is throwing her a bridal shower this spring. Score one for the Maid of Honor.
We did a little bit of scheming for the future...and I plan to make sure we get there together. San Francisco, anyone?!
