Okay, okay...one quick picture pre-Dallas. Mom and Dad and Nicky and I took Steven out to dinner for his Birthday last Tuesday (Dec. 8) at their favorite place, That's Amore! Considering the massive blizzard that the weathermen were forecasting I was surprised Mom and Dad didn't change their minds. While the snow was coming down hard outside we had a few drinks at the bar and enjoyed dinner.
As we finished singing happy birthday over two candle lit ice cream sundaes (Nicky got one for her birthday too!) the lights went out! We thought the waiter switched them off for Steven and Nicky to make a wish....when really the storm outside momentarily switched off the power! Perfect timing! We made it home safely and on Friday left for Dallas, just Steven and I.
It went by much too quickly...and it was so hard to possibly see everyone that wanted to get together. But I am *so thankful* to have seen Carlie. She picked me up and we ate at one of my favorite places that I miss so much, La Madeleine. Probably has the best ever tomato basil soup in the world! One of the biggest sweethearts I know, Carlie and I have kept in touch since I left Dallas nearly 2 years ago.And after dinner, a few drinks at a local pub, and a REALLY sappy movie later, it was time to say goodbye again to my dear friend Heather. No matter how much distance, it's always so great to see her and we pick up right where we left off.
Thank you, Heather for driving all the way to North Plano just to spend some time together! I miss you so!
One thing I miss most about living in Dallas, the peace and quiet. (Steven actually made this observation first!)
On Sunday we checked this place out...and yes we are standing in front of a fountain inside Cowboys Stadium. More to come soon .....
