Now and then

Oh boys and girls. I'm fresh off the plane back from Texas, and I already can't wait for RR3. The whole thing was just what I needed. We can go a year without seeing each other or even talking, but as soon as we're together it's just like old times. Even though our current everyday lives share basically no commonalities, we still get along as well as back in the day at our green-carpeted apartment in Waco.

Angela lives in Waco and works as a fully licensed CPA (woohoo!). She has a blog, too, which is mostly about scrapbooking but partly about her life in general. She just gave me a shout out for her favorite post of mine; since one good turn deserves another, here is my favorite page of hers.

Cassandra lives in McKinney (north side of Dallas) and has just temporarily retired from teaching 5th grade to stay at home with her still-gestating baby. She does not have a blog, but she recently joined the 21st century by signing up for Facebook, which she assures us will result in posting pictures of afore-mentioned still-gestating infant after his birth.

So that's the cast and crew. Now the story.

The weekend essentially consisted of an incessant stream of hyperverbosity punctuated by pauses just long enough to chew and swallow the massive amounts of food we cooked, including pizza rolls just for old times' sake. And time spent poring over wedding pictures. (Nick's exact words upon hearing about this particular point: "Praise the Lord I'm not going to be there!") And gushing at baby Mason's room, ready and waiting for him. There may also have been an impromptu dance party. Cassandra's husband went so far as to pull a double-header at the movie theater so we could have the house to ourselves all day Saturday, but he did make sure we gave her very pregnant self a nice long nap that afternoon. The photo uploader is being stupid right now, but more pics will follow soon. I hope.
