Birthday Shannanagins :)

A couple of weekends ago I got to celebrate my quarter life crisis with the most amazing girl in the world, my best friend. I know most people have mid-life crisis, I am almost certain I am having a quarter life crisis. I mean who would just leave a job, move half way across the country, decide to have a change in career and go back to school without having some sort of life crisis, right?!.......now to top it all off I should get a boob job and a really expensive car......OK just kidding about the plastic surgery and the car, but seriously...... 

Now back to my best friend, ever since we have known each other, we celebrated our birthdays together. When I left Texas to move to Florida, every year on "our" birthday it felt as though there was some sort of void that couldn't be filled, no matter how many glasses or bottles of wine I had. Now that I am back in the good ole state of Texas it was only fitting that we had a celebratory weekend full of festivities. I don't know about y'all, but I LOVE College Football, especially my Longhorns....I look forward to this time of year all year long.....when I found out that UT had their opening game on my birthday, it was fate! I felt like a kid on Christmas.....I couldn't sleep the night before, I was too excited. Of course we had to spend the day immersed in everything UT Football!

 After having a very long day of drinking and driving {full disclosure, that did not happen at the same time and we had a DD--my wonderful hubby} all over the city to find a place to watch the game, and the lack of food and mustaches, we survived! The next day was dedicated to shopping, concerts, and wineries (of course more alcohol)....but I guess we thought we could party like we did in College, my body tends to disagree....

It is in moments like this that I know I made the right decision to move back to Texas. There are days where I question my decision, but after having this amazing weekend I know in my heart this is why I moved home. I wanted to be closer to family, and though we are not related by blood, she is still my family and I am so happy to be home.
