Easy Tiger and a night out

May 29, 2012

The start of the long weekend began with a move. I didn’t document any of it. As you can imagine though moving is never fun. It was way hotter at 9 in the morning than it should have been so that just made it all the more exhausting. The bulk of the moving went pretty quickly but we were all pretty tired and sweaty. It’s a bit of a funny move since my me and my roommate’s lease ends this month, Walker and I fly out on the 31st, and he also has to move out of his place. So we all worked it out so that my roommate would move into Walker’s place (where I will also be staying until I head to Michigan) and take over his lease. So we  moved both her stuff and my stuff into Walker’s one bedroom apartment where he still had quite a bit of stuff himself. It was, and still is, pretty crazy at his place. There are boxes and bags everywhere! It’s a little stressful to have all your belongings so strewn about, especially when you’ve got to pack for a trip to Seattle. I tried as best I could to pull things out I thought I would need.

It would seem after the majority of our things were moved things overall would be less stressful but no. We still had a huge pile of goodwill donations, garbage, recycling, more things to move that we were still using, and lots and lots of cleaning. Oh yeah and a desk I still haven’t dealt with. ugh. It’s slowly been getting done over the weekend along with activities here and there for Walker’s last weekend in town. Luckily we have some pretty great friends that helped us clean on Saturday and that made it go by more quickly and made it more enjoyable.

Anyhow on Friday after we had accomplished quite a bit I geared up to head to a happy hour that had been planned. We went to Easy Tiger downtown, a place I’ve been wanting to go for a long time. They have ping pong, a beer garden, sausages, cheese, and bread. Um yum! It was nice to relax with friends after an exhausting morning. I was a little sleepy but I pulled through and had a great time. After happy hour we headed to a favorite tex-mex place per Walker’s request and continued the fun. Oh how I’ll miss these Texas nights.

Saying Goodbye to a Good Friend

April 12, 2012

One of my good friends Steph has moved to Michigan with her boyfriend. I have very mixed emotions about it-happy, sad, and a teeny bit jealous since she’s moving to my home state which I miss terribly. I suppose that’s one of the reasons I’m super happy for her too because I know she will love it there! (Well I hope she does especially since it snowed the day she got there-hehe oh Michigan). Anyhow I’ve known Steph for almost as long as I’ve been here in Texas and that made her leaving all the more sad. Not to mention she always knew about all the cool things happening around town-events, concerts, she had so many ins and I so appreciated her keeping me in the loop. I love friends like that because I can be kind of lazy in that department. Well I will miss her tons! Here are some pictures from her going away party. The only reason I’m posting the one with me making that ridiculous face (otherwise I would not) is because it’s a nice picture of Steph and it was a party for her so I took the hit. You’re welcome and we’ll miss you!
