When we planned this trip we wondered how much we could really accomplish and when our dates overlapped Deakon's Birthday we new making a trip to G'town would be a must. Now the real question is, can we surprise Deakon?? Surprising Chelcy was never an option as honestly I LOVED talking to her about it before hand and having the both of us be able to truly look forward to our time together.
First we had to knock out a little business - 359 Westbury, the house Chris and I built together and brought Baby Nick home to. This is the tree we planted for him.
I love this house and the family currently in it - but can't help thinking what it would be like to live here just as we thought we would. Amazing the turns life has taken us since than.
We had a quick stop to Hickory lane - our first home that still holds a special place in our hearts (even if the current renter isn't our favorite.
Clearly he doesn't have too much to move out when we send him packing....
After our visits to our homes we made a quick trip to HEB (because of course we LOVE that place) and to buy the birthday boy some Balloons and PBR - who should we run into - Chelcy (wait, she was actually in the G'town Village hood scouting to see if we were there - Love how excited she was and us too!) we even ran into Jenny Bender at the HEB - Big town, small town feel!
So Chelcy and I got to walk into her house together.
Deakon was chilling in his sofa chair so nicely dressed when I got to say "Happy Birthday"
The coolest comment came when he looked at us a little bewildered and surprised but than thought and later said, well of course Sara and Chris are here.
Just as it should be.
These are truly friends that no matter the distance -
we love, adore and soak in our time together.
Chelcy had planned to take us to their favorite haunts in Georgetown Village which continues to get more and more awesome each time we go out there!
Look at these handsome fellas
The whole crew and yes, I have already spent time getting decorated by Chelcy!
Really just HAPPY
The artwork was something to really take in too
This needs to be along the farmington river!
That night Chelcy hosted a HUGE dinner party with their neighborhood buddies and what a great chance to meet them all - there was PLENTY OF FOOD. I am pretty sure they lived off of refried beans from Dos Salsas for over a month. It was wonderful soaking in all this time with them and we are just thankful they were able to make the time.
Love these people.
Yes it was too late when we all piled back in the car and Liz drove the entire crew home. She was wonderful for understanding we wanted every minute we could take.
Thank you Chelcy and Deakon for being our first real friends.
The kind that invite you over because they just want to hang out with you.
The kind that can come over in their PJs, bring infants and take out, play cards until too late and laugh until your bellies just hurt.
We love you and your family so very much!
