The Wedding is Coming Soon!

Last month we went on a little trip for Christine’s Bachelorette Party. I don’t think many of us had been a girl trip since college. It was great to have a mini adventure with a dear friend to celebrate the coming changes in her life. Christine is about to be a real life grown-up.

We went out on 6th Street in Austin all dressed in black dresses. Christine wore a diamond on her head, which was pretty darn awesome.

On Saturday we drove to Gruene, Texas. We floated the river and it was cold. We ate at the glorious Gristmill and went to Gruene Hall. I had always wanted to go to Gruene Hall and I have to say it was my favorite part of the weekend.

Christine thinks it is too loud. She is adorable. She is getting married.  Growing up is so very strange. Good luck lady!

Friend of a Friend

Desiree's Bacholorette

Last Saturday I attended Sandra’s lifelong friend’s bachelorette party. Desiree is getting married in two weeks and I only see her for functions like Sandra’s wedding and baby showers. She did visit Sandra a few times at A&M as well but although she is someone I don’t know very well, I like her a lot. Desiree is very sweet and kind in a way that most people give up on sometime during college. She will do great things and I will hear about them through my friend and that is really what a good “friend of a friend” is.

Every one of my friends has a friend that I enjoy hearing their life updates through my friend, but they are not my good friend. I think it is the same kind of curiousnes that comes with reading a stranger’s blog. I don’t know them personally, but I like to hear that things are going well for them or hear they just took a really cool trip (I always enjoy hearing about a good trip).

Friend of friends are characters in the lives of my closest friends. Their involvement in my friend’s lives make up a big part of my close friend’s lives because they are their close friends. Point is: I am fascinated by the friends of others and Sandra’s friend serves as an example to that. If you followed any of this, I’m impressed.
