Don't be tardy for the party.

I just got into San Antonio a little bit ago. I am sitting on the couch waiting for the rest of the Pickerts to get a move on. We have a party to attend. Little baby Grey is turning ONE. Well, he isn’t really, but his momma has planned a cowboy extravaganza this weekend because her husband and Grey’s daddy is currently home safely from Iraq for two weeks. I’m looking forward to see how Tranee’s planning pays off. I have no doubt that this will be an incredible first birthday with a ton of people, cowboy decor and BBQ- Tranee can do a party.

Example #1: Tranee and I had a joint high school graduation party. We rented a moonbounce, enough said there.

Example #2: Tranee gets married. This resulted in a hilarious bachelorette experience, an entertaining night before, amazing day of the wedding, a great reception, and 2 nights in pretty little cottages.

I’m very ready to get this party started, but I am still WAITING.

Exhausted.

Today is the last day of a quarter end project and I couldn’t be happier, well I could if I was more rested. This week coming to an end feels like a personal victory. Hip hip hooray for closure at the office.

Miss Independent 2008.

After reflecting back on this past year, more happened than I initially thought. I realized that out of all my favorite things about 2008, the theme appeared to be independence. I have realized that I don’t need to measure happiness in people but in my ability to make my own path. Let the recap begin…

  • Spent a week in Vegas with JMO. I learned to gamble, I played on my own. The shows were great, the company was great, and I took pictures of random things.
  • Tranee had a baby and I am Grey’s godmother.
  • I went to my grandparents house for 4 days in July. I finally felt like an adult in a house I’ve always felt like a child in.
  • I went to NY twice. Once paid for by work and the other as a birthday gift from JMO.
  • My cousin Drew got married in Myrtle Beach. He is the first of my cousins to get married and I enjoyed a beach I’d never been to. My flight back got cancelled and I got stuck at a hotel with strangers. I ate dinner and enjoyed drinks with people I had never met or will ever see again.
  • I moved from a one bedroom into a 2 bedroom with my good friend Leah. The location is far superior to Westheimer (busiest street in Houston).
  • The move made me finally start buying furniture and decorating, I am very pleased with the space I’ve created for myself.
  • Emily started liking girlier things.
  • Michael travelled, and I lived vicariously through him.
  • I lost and found my Aggie ring. I overcame feeling irresponsible.
  • I grew out of the “year of transition” that was 2007. I am a legit grown up now.
