we do dorky things

to sum up my spring break: fantastic. i went to a beautiful wedding in dallas with tess on saturday. we stayed at the nicest hotel i have ever been in (and probably ever will be in). the bride was radiant, the groom was beaming and the family was dancing up a storm. all in all the way a wedding should be.

my time in austin was awesome. tess and i drove in on sunday and stayed with sidora (who i miss to a ridiculous extent and for whom i could not be more thankful). we spent monday wandering around south congress as i predicted and drinking margaritas at trudy's. the rest of my time was consumed with playing in parks, eating good food and repeatedly getting lost. i discovered that talking to strangers can be a very good thing and got a tab picked up because of a simple conversation.

however, yesterday topped it all. we met up with robyn and got to see some awesome free day shows at SXSW. i'm now obsessed with a little duo from brooklyn called "matt and kim." kim was the happiest woman i've ever seen and that coupled with her amazing drummer arms caused me to develop quite the woman crush on her. but either way, i suggest you check them out. after the shows we went on a mission for mexican food. jensem had taken me to las manitas before and since it's very close to kev's apartment, we strolled right over. turns out it was a much better idea than i could've imagined. some record label or band or group with SXSW was having a private, free dinner. we didn't know any better and the guy working there told us that "if you don't know, then i don't know" and to " just go for it." so we did. and we got free fajitas, tamales and beer. totally sweet.

so after all that, it completely blows that i'm stuck back in lubbock again. the time there made me feel like i was home and i couldn't be more ready to move there. i've already decided i'm moving with or without a job. perhaps not the smartest move, but i just have this certainty that it's where i'm meant to be. just a few more months though.
