Hello from Kuwait (again)!

Just FYI (because you care), a posted a ton of new pictures of Jordan, my big girl’s weekend (thanks to Theresa), and other random shots from our trip home. So if you’re bored (I mean-really, really bored), there’s lots to keep you occupied.

I suppose I should get started with a recap of my wonderful nestie girl’s weekend!

I had met retired blogger Sarah last fall while on vacation, so not only did I know she wasn’t a crazy psycho killer, but I also knew she was so incredibly wonderful. I had not, however, met Theresa until just this past weekend! Oh- and BTW, all of the photos provided are courtesy of Theresa’s camera. As it turns out- Theresa is not a psycho killer either. In fact, she’s just as great as Sarah!

BTS has been in contact since the old days of the nest- about 2 years or so. In fact, Theresa and Sarah are the big day brightener in my life each afternoon as my day comes to an end and their’s just begins. I always know I have an email to look forward to from my two internet friends. We’ve done a lot of group emailing over the last couple of years, so it was only fitting that we’d finally meet.

It was a great time. Here are just a few pics of all the fun (the rest are posted on Flickr):

We went to the Ft. Worth rodeo our first full day together. Aside from the bronco riding, the wild cow milking (yes- wild cow milking) was my favorite event.

Sarah’s poor husband was a good sport about letting her have two strange internet friends invade their house. His only stipulation was that we didn’t drool on his pillow. Oops!

Alright- we were faking. I mean, afterall, the three of us look wonderful (think Jessica Simpson) when we sleep- our mouths don’t hang open all gross like that.

Sporting our team pride:

Our first lunch together:

Theresa discovered everything really is bigger in Texas:

She also discovered steak fingers! Retired blogger Sarah and I almost died when she asked what they were! Here she is with her new favorite food (ha ha):

The weather was perfect for Theresa, a New Yorker, but for a transplanted Sooner in Kuwait, it was a bit cold.

BTS, Friends Forever <3

It was a great weekend. I’ve been talking for a Nestie Reunion for ages now, so it was nice to finally get together with some of the friends I’ve gotten to know through the nest. Now we just need to plan and carry out a big mass reunion so we can ALL finally meet! What do you guys say? Spring/Summer of 2009?

As for other, much less exciting things in my life, jet lag has finally hit. Will and I are feeling its full effects. Work sure will be fun when I’m as awake as a newborn puppy. Oh well, there’s nothing a Starbucks latte can’t cure, right?

Alright, I’m off to relish the last few hours I have of vacation with Will and the dogs. More to come soon and very soon.
