Saturday we had our going away party at the Midnight Rodeo. It was such a memorable, fun, crazy night! Maybe a little too fun! Midnight Rodeo is such a trip. There were so many good dancers and it was amazing how many choreographed line dances the whole place new. Not only country dances, but line dances for hip hop songs and even a Katy Perry song. They had some hilarious little contests which were quite amusing (some kind of hula hoop thing and a lasso contest). Everyone seemed super friendly and the drinks were so cheap! A good time was had by all. We had packed all day Saturday, sold our couch on craigslist, and dealt with a ton of other moving stuff . I was pretty exhausted when it came time for the party. Seeing everyone there who supports and loves us when we walked in really meant the world to us. So many special people were there and I was really touched that so many made the effort to come due to their circumstances. One friend came after having a chemical peel the day before (her face was pretty red but it didn’t stop her from having a good time!), one of my best work friends came and told me later in the evening that she’s pregnant (yay!!!), my cousin and his beautiful new wife came in from Houston, and one of my best friends and her sweet boyfriend came in from Dallas. Later in the evening, we opened a beautiful card signed by some of our most special friends. They secretly conspired to buy us a very generous gift card to Bed, Bath, and Beyond for our new home in Scottsdale. It was so incredibly thoughtful and literally brought tears to my eyes. We felt so loved. I have said it before and I will say it again- we feel SO blessed. Friends like ours are so special and rare and they make our life so much more fun and meaningful. After having an amazing brunch the next morning with our friends, David and I both became a little emotional. It really hit us. It’s going to be hard to leave such wonderful people. Friendships take work, especially long distance, but we both plan to make an effort to continue to be a part of our friend’s lives here in Texas. That gift card is specifically going to decorating our guest room where our amazing friends will always be welcome!!!
