We heard about your 100-degree Spring, Texas. And it’s not stopping us.
Hey Y’all. (Just getting my twang warmed up. You’re welcome.)
Since Valerie gave me such a treasure trove of blog ideas yesterday, I figured I’d just start with her Number One request – the list of all those we hope to see on our whirlwind trip to the Lone Star State this weekend. (Val is on said list, so get ready for the shouty-outy action, sista!)
1. The Fambly. Most of the Nichols House de Nichols Fame live in Fort Worth, so us California heathens find ourselves in the hub of Nichols-dom quite often. We’ll get to see Momma Nichols, Dad Nichols, Sista Nichols and Grandma (Honey) Nichols. Now if that’s not enough Nichols for you… other Nichols descendants (now of the house of Zakaryan) will also be in attendance. It’s a regular fambly tree, all hanging out in Cowtown. Yeehaw!
2. Adam’s many and sundry High School pals! The impetus for this trip was Adam’s 10-year High School reunion. (I know, I married an older man.) This is occasion of great excitement because A) I’ve never met anybody from his HS days B) Everybody knows it’s the spouses’ job to look as hot as possible at these things and I am ALL OVER THAT C) Adam was one of two white guys on the basketball team (OK, so that was more of a trivia fact) and D) It’s being held in a brewery. Score.
3. Megan and Baby Jace! I told you that my dear Texas bestie had a baby bump. Well, whaddayaknow, it’s a baby now! I made multiple “awwwwwing” squeaky noises just when looking at this little guy on FaceBook, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be overcome by cuteness when I see him and his Momma in person. Squee! Babies! Ah, when did we grow up?!
4. Val! Now that I’ve called her out on the blog, she’ll have choice but to come see me. 🙂 My plan is working perfectly. Heheh.
5. JERRY WORLD! Oh, yes. Adam and I have already bought VIP passes to tour the inside of Cowboys Stadium. We’ll send you pictures of us standing on the star with a hundred strangers and you can turn green with envy, it will so cool. I promise.
6. Any other Texas besties want to come out of the woodwork and insure that we don’t sleep AT ALL on our little four-day jaunt? ‘Cuz we’re up for hangin’. It’s not everyday we get BBQ, 100-degree-weather, family and friends all at once. (BBQ came first in that list. I’m not trying to demean any of you, but it is SO GOOD.)
Get ready, Fort Worth. We’ve packed our tank tops and twang and we’re comin’ for y’all.
