That Week in Review Part I

Michelle came to Austin July 21-27, and it was an awesome week. I had a great time with her and I wanted to write a synopsis of the week so I won't forget the details.

Saturday- Michelle arrives in Austin, after being rerouted be Southwest and having to take three flights to get here. They also lost her bag at the end of the day. We ate dinner at the Hula Hut, where michelle helped me park my car, and chips and queso, a fuzzy navel, a self serve chip dispenser, an enchilada, a video of me laughing, and the blessed key lime mints made our night. Even though we were both hormonal and heavy hearted (michelle's dad had an infected foot that possibly needed surgery), it was a great kick start to the week ahead.

Sunday- We both sleep in ridiculously late and manage to get awake and alive. We hang out around the house and take a dip in the pool before going to church. After church we hit up Jason's Deli, where theology was the table topic (I know I was right...ha!). I then take her over to Amy's Ice Cream, where we are hit on by a 15 year old looking kid, who gives us a free mix in just because we were "friendly". And he punched my ice cream card 4 times...heck yeah. Michelle, rated our ice cream a "solid 9". We attempted to see a movie, and missed all the show times. So we headed over to the hollywood rental, where michelle "disappears" to the bathroom for twenty minutes, thinking she told me but, trust me, she did not. I am freaking out, not able to find her, thinking she is playing with me. But she wasn't. Anyways, michelle is no help picking out a movie and I have to pick on my own. I picked out some doozies. And michelle saw a pickle in a pouch and flirted with the guy behind the counter of course....and scored a free movie.

Monday- We started the day with a visit to my chiropractor, where michelle was hoping to see a certain someone but never did. So disappointed. She cringes as I get adjusted. We then hit up the local bakery where we get stocked with cookies, drinks, and a scone for our trip to San Antonio. Michelle determines they were the best cookies...ever. So we make our way to Six Flags, and quickly made up our minds about the place. It doesn't hold a candle to Disney. Michelle gets me to go on rides I would never have gone on before, including a rollercoaster that goes backwards, the up- down thing, and a twisty ride that I never want to look at again....but we liked the water rides, the carousel, and the superman rollercoaster was awesome. Jonathan, the frozen lemonande kid, says we have to pay with cash, a rule that came out of nowhere. And after many rides, videos and pictures later, we head home tired and our heads buzzing. Michelle wasn't feeling so hot...
