easter weekend

so i got my first real holiday on friday and it was wonderful! i decided to celebrate by going to dallas to see eileen and christian for a couple of days. so on thursday at 5 o'clock on the dot i left my office and got in the car to make the trek to eileens house...which isnt really in dallas...as christian has said before..its more like oklahoma. i now know what she's talking about. got in my car at 5...got out of my car at 945. yeah, thats right. i did get a little lost at one point bc of a misunderstanding with a street name but its not like it put me way outta the way...almost 5 hours in the car! i thought i was going to die.

but anyways, spent the nite at eileens and it was great to see her and catch up. friday we went to christians and ate lunch by the pool. then eileen went to work and christian and i laid on couches for about 5 hours and it was amazing. we did take one break to super target to find dinner...after browsing the clothes, shoes, and cookbooks we tackled the task at hand and finally decided to make tacos. and when i say finally i mean we were probably in target for an hour. went thru this real weird guys checkout line who would move his lips as though to form words yet barely any sound came out...and then he would play that he was like offended that we werent responding. i almost feel like sign language would have been more appropriate in that situation...weirdo. so we got back to the apt...watched more basketball and other various tv shows and made dinner.

the next day, sat. the three of us went shopping but ended up with nothing sadly. eileen left to celebrate her moms bday and christian and i went back to the apt and yeah, you guessed it...back on the couches. after some tv watching/napping, i decided to head back to austin.

on sunday i did the normal easter festivities with the fam...had a great easter lunch with ham and all the fixins. and my niece ellie...probably the cutest little asian girl ive ever seen. pigtails, pink dress, pink hat...oh, absolutely adorable! and heres a cute thing...she calls my dad 'p-pa' and my mom 'p-ma' or 'tree' my poor mom..she just wants to be called grandma and sometimes she gets 'tree' kids say the darndest things right?

so all in all..an eventful weekend with lots of driving...i think ill stay in town this weekend.
