Saying "Yes" to the dress 😁

When people are thinking of adjectives to describe my sisters and I, I would imagine that the words "girly girls" don't often get brought up. So it was a little strange this weekend when my older sis came to town and we went to visit my bestie for me to try on dresses and see what we could find. She arrived in DFW with no issues, we went to dinner at Anamias, and then jumped on I-35 to San An. 
Did you know you can track a specific flight to see where they are??? MADNESS!!
Anamias! We even brought chips and salsa for the bestie.

The next day we got up, had coffee, and went out to a David's Bridal. There we encountered the sales women, who were somewhat helpful but also... lurked. We had lurkers. I tried a lot of styles, but will only share some highlights.
This one was ok.
This looks a bit better.
This let my inner 5 year old out to play!!
I twirled like the little princess I am!!

From here we went to "The dress store" at the mall in San An. There I found my "Yes" dress and Mo even got into the spirit.
Bestie did, too, but the only pic I have of her is of us and I'm in THE dress. I'd like to keep that under wraps until THE day. So that pix is being saved. Hehe.

So I ordered THE dress from the store and it is on its way. Then I'll take it to get altered and that'll be one thing to no longer worry about. Mo wanted all Mexican food, so after the outing we went to Gloria's.
Good times.

We also did look at the flowers bestie has, and I think she got some ideas of what she might like to do. We also stopped at Costco for pastries because Mo is looking for a bakery that is comparable to Publix in FL. The cherry and almond danishes were very good (Mo combined em into a sammich) as was the oreo cupcakes. We ended the evening with Eurovision, which was WAY more cute than I thought it would be. And then ended day 2.

We got up and went to yoga on Sat, then went to another Mexican place for lunch/dinner. Came home and made drinks, then started "the good guys" until the chiefs/dolphins game came on (waaaaah), then went to bed. It was a nice, chill, relaxing day with the ladies and besties hubby. 

Spicy old fashioned made with tequila and chili pepper liquor. 
Chicken stuffed poblano.
Top shelf margarita. All super yummy.
An old fashioned with aged rum, a la bestie hubby. He still got skills!

Sun we got up, went to Gloria's for brunch, and then sis and I headed north. It got progressively colder the further we went.
Cute pic in Gloria's.
Bfast tacos.
Saying goodbye. We drove back up to DFW and stopped off in west for yummy foods. It was fun! We ended up back at my apt, where she survived the man-eating couch, a 5am wake up call, and a ride to the airport in the snow. She got back home without any issues, other than a delay, of course.

Bye bye.

It's super cold in TX. The snow this AM was dry and blowing like WY in spring, so it was normal for me. I went into work as usual, and looks like it's gonna be a normal week. J is making headway on the paperwork for the church, so we are moving closer to being able to announce the date! Lol. Still looking at houses for rent (with non-galley kitchens), and poor J has been dealing with a brake issue on his truck. We plan on getting all that squared away this weekend. So even tho its cold as heck, we are moving ahead. I also did get promoted at work, so that's nice. Yay for finding out good things!! Good new is welcome after the week of stress last week. So stay warm, my friends. I love all of you and I'm sending hugs and kisses!!! 😘😘🥰🥰🥰
