Hello, Cloud 9!!

I just bought tickets for my best friend, her daughter, and myself to see HP! Ah!

Ok, way too excited to see the last Harry Potter movie. I love them. But let me tell you, the really exciting thing is seeing M! Literally haven't seen her since May 1, 2008 when she drove J and I to DFW to fly to Germany. That is way too long to go without seeing your best friend.

I am so excited!! 25 days!! Ah, you have no idea how stoked I am!

Other that that amazingness, today was a good day. J got to plan our day, every decision was his. First thing, we gave him his gifts. There were things I got before we left Germany. A metal calender with a hefeweizen glass on it; sounds lame but it is something he hecka wanted. And a cute little magnet for the fridge, because it cracked me up. He was happy, the girls were happy to give him something.

We went out to eat, like every other family in the world, for Dad's Day. J wanted wings, like every other dad. So we went to Buffalo Wild Wings. last time we ate there was in Tx; its been a while! And I gotta say, we were both pretty amazed at how much we weren't thrilled. The music was hecka loud, the girls weren't impressed, we felt like it was all a bit much. But we ate there, so check that off the list!

And it was another example of just how much we have changed since we last lived in the States. Life as the parents of two daughters has definitely changed us. For the better, for sure.

Those two precious girls were pretty great today. I just love them. Even though sometimes I want to run away, I know I am right where I need to be.

How did I get so lucky??
