I just wanted share a GREAT post made by a dear friend...

My girl Kristin said it best in her latest blog Soapbox. Check out her latest blog! She just about said it all. Go on girl! I couldn't agree more. Will this ever change?

I love (and miss) ya girl!

*Kristin is a friend I have known for a very long time (like the sister I never had). She and I were the best of friends in high school, and were even college roommates at one time. She is an amazing woman, mother, wife, and friend. I am lucky she is in my life, even if we don't keep up as often as we should. She is one of those friends you could not talk to for several years and pick right back up where you left off the very next time you see her. This picture is from my 10 yr reunion. She married her high school sweetheart, a classmate and friend of mine.

Parade, and Cook off, and CIRQUE, OH MY!

Yet another spectacular weekend! We headed to K-town on Friday evening for a weekend packed FULL of fun! We started by just hanging out around the house Friday night. We had to "lay low" since we were heading out early for the parade.

Saturday morning we woke up early, bundled up, packed the truck and headed downtown H-town for the Rodeo Parade. It was my first time to actually watch a parade in years! I was the most excited!

Here are some parade photos... I love high school BANDS (just a warning)... there are alot! =)

Aggie Land band (started off the parade)

Howdy (the HLSR mascot)

Kay Bailey Hutchison

(How many senators do you know that can ride a horse?)

Sheila Jackson Lee

The bagpipe players- one of my favorites!

U of H Cheer, Band, and Dance


Eisenhower HS... always a good performance

Royal High School

Milby... gettin' down

Cook Off

a Houston tradition...

Later that evening, we met up with some friends at their hotel. The view was amazing atop the 27th floor where the suites were. So we had to snap a picture... only it didn't or wouldn't turn out the way we thought.

ha! Cracks me up!

L. C. baby!

Our whole crew

"ENRON" (ha, that is what M told the taxi... he sooooo meant Reliant)

waiting and making plans for where to go next being silly after raiding the "stash"

waiting for the taxi, and enjoying it

After cook off we headed to a new club, KNOX. We got bottle service and enjoyed our night (as indicated below, ha). These girls are fun... CRAZY, but fun!

Thanks Peebs! You always take care of us and show us a good time at cook off! Luv ya girl!

The next afternoon I met my family for another CIRQUE outing. This time it was ... This was one of my favorite Cirques yet! This performance had Robert Muraine (the pop locker from S.Y.T.Y.C.D.). It was awesome. Check out a small sample video. I highly recommend this CIRQUE as well as all the CIRQUE du Soleils. AMAZING!
