Well, now...didn't that weekend just fly by?

Wow...I can't believe it is already Monday night....Krista is flying safely back to Las Vegas at the moment :). My apologies for being MIA...but I was having a bit too much fun!

We picked Krista up at the airport Friday afternoon, thanks so much to her family for lending her to us for the weekend! We got to sit and gab for a bit while the girls napped...did a little camera comparison, she got a fabulous new camera for Christmas!
That night we went to eat at a place here in GP called "Little Mexico", I think I've raved about it on here before...but it didn't disappoint, other than giving us all the burps for the rest of the night. After dinner and getting the kiddos to bed, Krista and I headed up to the mall to see Twilight (her second time, my third! but first together!) and it was SOLD OUT. Yes, SOLD OUT. I couldn't believe it. So we raced back to another theater and got there just in the nick of time, thank goodness cause it was SO good, even the third time around! I totally ruined most of it for Krista, I'm afraid...hehe...by pointing out little tidbits here and there ;). Like how Edward's ears are pointy!

On Saturday, we met up with Ashley for a pedicure...a MUCH needed pedicure!! Krista and Ashley formed a friendship over the last year and were happy to finally meet each other in person!

Our beautiful toes! They totally matched our toes to our slippas! :)

After pedicures, we three headed over to PF Changs for some yummy lunch.

Our "myspace" pic....I promised not to post the blooper, but it was hilarious ;)...

After lunch, Krista and I headed home to veg for a bit...then went over to the Perfect Touch Spa for some more much needed pampering. We endulged in a mini-facial and a 60 minute massaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhge. Ü Seriously...it was SO NEEDED and reminded me how much I love to GET massage and how much I miss giving massage (sometimes). To say it was alot of fun is very much a understatement.

My girls took to Krista like we had never left Vegas! Ü They know a good heart when they see it!

Another movie we saw while she was here was Marley and Me....if you haven't seen it, you should...so good!! And quite the tear-jerker!! Afterwards, we picked up the fam and went to eat at Saltgrass for some yummy "Authentic" Texas steaks! We tried to figure out the reason for the name "Saltgrass" cause their ain't nuthin' salty about it!!
Can't you just kick Bella for being so cute????

Today we woke up and drove over to Ft Worth to catch the 11:30 cattle "run". The girls can now say "they rode Pecos Bill" or so the cowboy told us. They were very excited to ride the "horsie" ....hehe....and didn't think their ride was long enough!
Krista and her cowboy (Sorry, Trav!)

We've seen the cattle once before, but man...they are a site to see! It's short but sweet.....and those longhorns are just amazing!
It was a great visit...I know Krista is so excited to get home to her girls! A big thank you to her hubby for getting her out here to spend some time with me. I love that girl to death! Ü We've been friends for over 7 years now and I know we'll be friends for 50 more!!!

Finally...a massage!

After a year and a half I FINALLY got a massage!! Thank you MOMMA! My mom knew how badly I have been hurting, so she referred me to David, the guy she goes to, and even paid for it! What a mom! David did an awesome job. You KNOW that a massage therapist has done a good job when you have greasy-funky-hair!
I have been a massage therapist since 2002, and I rarely ever treat myself to the regular, every 2 week massage that I tell all my "clientele"...and when I do go and get massage, I am cheap about it, so I will go to a school for like a $35 massage or to Massage Envy for their $47 introductory massage :)....what I love even more is to find a massage therapist to TRADE with! Thats the BEST situation ever! I totally miss my bestest friend, Krista, she was the one who actually got me interested in this profession, since she has been a therapist for a very long time. It was fun both being therapists, b/c we could talk and complain and understand each other after a long hard day of work! Cause only another therapist would know about how awful an unwashed, Vegas body feels, even though I am sure you could imagine how utterly GROSS that is. Or how awful it feels to rub a mans back with 2 inches of back hair! Yeah...think about that one....icky icky!
After my massage today, I realized that I do miss it! Its just going to take SO much to get back into it, I have to retake my National exam, take a TX state exam and then pay like $500 for all that! THEN...will I go get a job at a spa somewhere?? Probably not! So, it doesn't seem quite worth it. We shall see....but I do think I will make it a priority to pamper myself more often...hopefully my next massage won't be a year and a half away!
