here's to a great weekend

brett & i arrived back home after an exhausting two day getaway. we were fortunate enough to get out of God's Ant Farm and headed back up to Paradise, also known as Paso Robles. i worked wednesday night and thursday we made the three hour drive to our california home. we got a hotel room, relaxed in the hot tub with a nice glass of wine and went to level 4 for brett's comedy show. it was a very ... interesting show to say the least. this was his first time back on stage after the accident. and he stood on stage for nearly an hour. in pain. although appearing very relaxed. very... tame for brett. i gave him some not so constructive, criticism. i have to realize it's been only 8 weeks since his car accident. he can't just bounce back. i can't expect him to have the amount of energy and swagger he had before. it will come back in time, probably tenfold, but it all takes time. and even though he appears healed, he is nowhere near healed. but all in all, it was a good show and a great turnout!

we saw so many of our lovely friends that we miss so much! we stayed with a friend on saturday night after going out to support our friend noah's band at hoover's live. one of our wonderful friends suggested we drink red bull vodka since brett and i were both very tired. red bull gives you wings for sure! but vodka gives you incredible dance moves, heightened conversational skills, and one hell of a hangover!

saturday we decided to call it a day and head back to the city. brett was achy all over and very tired. we went to lunch and then wine tasted before heading out (i didn't taste as i was responsible for getting us home safely). it was interesting to be back in paso. i really hate la which most of you know, but paso is a lot slower than i remember. it will forever be a special place to brett & i though. it's where we started our lives, where we grew up together. and where we've made so many very special friends. so now it's back to the drawing board to decide where our next move will be. kansas city? nashville? where will this road of life lead us next? only time will tell.

and one other thing: brett and i had lunch with our friends katilyn & eric on saturday. we know eric because he's from paso and we met kaitlyn in la. she's only known the la brett & chayna and i was very surprised by one of her comments. she said, "brett, i've never seen you like this before. you're smiling and giggling." this is a sure sign we are NOT meant to be in la. it sucks the soul right out of you! but i have no regrets, just looking forward to the future.
