Did ya miss me?!

The last few weeks have been great. Emotional, stressful, exhausting, and great.

I'm really trying to soak in all I can about Dallas and time with friends and things I won't get to do, see or eat for the next 9-12 months.

It's been emotional--I cry a lot more than I expected I would--I mean, I'm a crier in general, but, the reality of leaving my Texas family? Boy howdy. I can't even.

Sorry to have left you hanging--but, I mean, you did get pictures of the puplet so, you can't be too angry with me. I hope.

I've been keeping busy trying to enjoy my last few weeks in Dallas,  and this is what it's looked like:

Breaking down and seeing Book of Mormon when the tour came to town

I liked it--not loved it. I just wanted to see Mark to be entirely honest

Moneypenny learning to stick her tongue out for a laugh

She's already disobeying me like a boss!

Spending an evening chatting with someone about college crew and growing up at the beach--like me!

Pubs in Deep Ellum, a large Diet Coke and lots of laughs about NCAA rules 

Having my very best friend and her girls at my last pure barre class

Looks at these loves!!

Learning to walk three dogs on a leash--London preparations!

Hell, basically 

Being introduced to "southern metal" at a concert in Deep Ellum. Where we discovered I have excellent hair for head banging.

I didn't die! Let's all be proud! And, to everyone's surprise, I had FUN!

Dates with this dude

We laugh. A lot. 

Getting a pitiful puppy unstuck--regular occerance these days

Evidently, she wants to escape. Brat. 

And, basically, not packing any of my clothing because, well, packing is stupid.

So, that's where I've been and probably what I'll be up to until I get on the plane next week (sob, sob, sob!), but, I have my going away party this weekend, and I pinky promise pictures of that! read: my parents are crashing it. Send help!
