the drive and Texas

On Sunday, June 1st, I packed a little over half of all of my belongings into my trusty Honda Element, said goodbye to my sweet sweet boy, and left on my travels. 
 
I had a leisurely and relaxing four day drive from my beautiful San Francisco to hot, hot lovely Texas.  I drove through L.A. and visited Raquel, 
experienced a quaint little hostel in Tucson, AZ, stayed at Sarah's parents' house in El Paso, played with Sarah in Austin, and then made the final decent to The Woodlands.
 




I took Erin to see the French Kicks and Frightened Rabbit at Walter's on Washington in Houston for her birthday, and unfortunately Frightened Rabbit didn't make it due to van trouble.  It was still a fun show, although that venue is HAWT!  




Saturday morning I drove up to the small town of Canton, TX- between Dallas and Tyler, for Meagan's wedding.  I got to be an honorary bridesmaid (all the fun without all the responsibility) and hang out with her and the other girls while they got ready for the wedding.  It was great to get to be there for her big day, and I'm so happy that I was able to go.  The ceremony was held out in a big pasture in the evening, and it was so beautiful.


The rest of this week has been filled with some lovely time with family and friends. I spent Sunday afternoon with a wonderful family from my childhood, The Strausses.  Through facebook, I found out Sam and Toba lived in San Francisco, and hung out with them before I left, but it was delightful to be with the whole family, for the first time in around 14 years.

I spent alot of time with Claire and my new niece Sophia, but have yet to get any pictures, but don't worry, Sophia is so adorable, she gets her own blog entry very soon.
