One year ago...

A year ago yesterday was our wedding! We've obviously got a bit going on, but D and I made sure to take some time out for ourselves yesterday, and went to what Dana keeps calling the best meal of her life (no doubt due to the company, right?). Anyway, she'll be blogging about the fantastic dinner later.
I could probably get the pictures from our camera on to the computer (and from there online), but it's early and I didn't feel like bothering just yet.
The move went pretty seamlessly. The ginormous truck came a little early on Friday morning and they finished by about 1:30pm. The only furniture remaining in here is a folding table that Houston Amy was nice enough to lend us (I have to work somewhere) and two of those folding lawn chairs. Talk about comfort!
We do have an air mattress, but, um... the adaptor for the pump was packed. So we're sleeping on the floor. Only one more night of that, though! Oh, and though it's not exactly furniture, we did leave our coffee maker behind with us, so we can still function as members of humanity in the morning. I'm enjoying the perks now, actually.
Quick round-up of the weekend: Friday night went to see Cars (we both really liked it), Saturday morning Dana went to get a haircut and I cleaned up (holy hell are we dirty slobs, dust bunnies were everywhere), we did some other stuff I don't remember on Saturday, then went to a surprise party for our friend Amy (which was great; we were, of course, the last to leave). Sunday we totally intended to go to NASA but just didn't get around to it and putzed around here until it was time to go to our regular Sunday lunch spot, where our waitress comped everything since we'd basically been going there every Sunday all year (but we got her back with a crazy tip, so all is good in the karma circle). Then we came home and napped for like three hours (um, beer at lunch... everything comped... you do the math), then D went on a quick run to get the beer cobwebs out, we got ready, and went to the best dinner ever.
TK will be glad to know that as we pulled in (in our birdshit covered CR-V) there was a beautiful Ferrari parked right in front. Among mercedes, BMWs, etc. I joked when we left (this is the kind of place where it's valet only) that the valet would have to run around back to get the car (because they wouldn't want it to be seen) but I was wrong. They actually didn't park it in their lot AT ALL - it was across the street. We got a kick out of that.
So now, a couple days' work, scarf down some more of our favorite food (we've been eating a TON, trying to eat ONE MORE TIME all of our Houston Favorites) today it's Goode's BBQ for lunch and Star Pizza for dinner, before going out to meet D's pals from work for a goodbye at our local beer joint. Then tomorrow Dana has a half day, we load up the car and head out of dodge. We're hoping to hit the road about 3pm tomorrow and are shooting to make it to Oklahoma City, which is 7 hours away, but really the goal, I think, is just to get out of Texas. We'll be heading straight through Dallas as well, so we'll be able to say we went there while we were Texans.
And then... Colorado!

So long tumbleweeds, hello ski slopes! So you didn't try to pull the Axel Foley with the valet and use this line:
Can you put this in a good spot? 'Cause all of this shit happened the last time I parked here.

Wohoo!! Its gotta be exciting to be working on a folding table and lawn chairs! A constant reminder about how close you are to getting the heck out! :)
Can't wait for the moblog on the road! You guys using your GPS for the trip?
*idea warning* You should figure out a way to have your GPS send your coordinates when you moblog - hook them into Google Earth or Google maps! :)
