three years ago today
i married my best friend, and the love of my life.
on the most beautiful day, with our closest friends and family to share and celebrate.
it was magical. and today, somehow, i love him even more. i didn’t even know that was possible. 
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. -Dr. Seuss

your dallas weekend rundown
it’s weekend time! woohoo! ok just a few things i know that are going on this weekend ’round town:
johnny lang is playing tonight at the house of blues, he is such a soulful artist… show starts at 8.
tomorrow cork wine bar and retail store is hosting a benefit for the river network. for $5, you can enjoy organic wine from chilean vineyard natura paired with locally made cheeses and a reusable shopping tote. it’s from noon to 6 pm at cork(3636 mckinney ave., suite 170). wine and cheese and charity?! yes, please.
saturday night, i’ll be heading to the majestic theater downtown to enjoy comedian nick swardson perform. that should definitely be a riot! show starts at 7:30.
also on saturday night, hands up hosts gracie chavez at the loft - should be some funky party/dancing/craziness for sure! here is some more info on the show.
so hope everyone has a super weekend! maybe i’ll see you around town!
edit: i almost forgot that the assassination city roller derby girls have another bout this weekend in mesquite! tomorrow night (saturday 6/21) is the night of the speed demons - they’re playing the alamo prim reapers and the east texas bombers. remember it’s byob and bring a chair as well! a percentage of the proceeds will benefit the dallas women’s foundation, so watch some derby and feel good about it!

today marks the beginning of the bonnaroo music & arts festival. it’s the first time in three years that i haven’t gone. i’m not all torn up about missing the lineup that much, but mostly because i’m missing the experience. hope all my roo buddies have an awesome time!! yell a hearty “bonnarooooooo!!” for me, and have fun getting lost on your way to what stage, which stage, this tent, that tent, the other tent or somethin’ else. here’s to you, bonnaroo.

…from tomorrow i’m heading out to los angeles to visit two of my favorite people ever in the history of the world: stephanie & tomy - stephen’s sister & her husband. i am so incredibly excited and will probably blog a lot more about it, but just wanted to show you one of the things i plan on doing while i’m there. 
stephanie and i will head to the little next door for brunch - i read about it on jeana sohn’s blog recently. the food looks delicious, and how cute is the place?! i can’t wait.
