I know we have only been gone for 6 weeks, but it was time for a return visit!  Eric couldn't make it, but I was lucky enough to spend 4 days back in Houston with many of my good friends.  It was a very active weekend - first a going-away pub crawl for everyone's friend, Ron Martinussen.  He is moving to Nigeria.  When that boy makes a move, he does it right!   The following night was an awesome concert by my favorite live band, Cowboy Mouth - woo hoo!  On the last night a group of us went to dinner and out dancing in honor of Stacey Waggoner and Michael Nguyen who are getting married on October 4.  As a grand finale, we had a very late breakfast at the House of Pies and then my friends sent me packing back to Oklahoma.  What a great trip!
 
   
   
 Here we are, getting started at Brian O'Niell's Now we've moved to the Baker Street Pub. Everyone seems happy!
   
 Always a pub crawl favorite, now we're at Little Woodrow's Doreen is hiding, Jenny is talking trash
   
 Ritchie just loves it when I take my camera to social functions Stacey & I are together again! This calls for my biggest smile!
   
 Ron, surrounded by the ladies (as always)
 
Here he is again, the women just can't stay away from him
Nick is standing by to chaperone
   
 Here I am, trying to make these troublemakers be good
 
There was a joke that went with this, but I've forgotten it.
I'm sure it was a good one!
   
 Me, Truong, and Runnestrand sneaking a peak behind us Ron, once again surrounded by ladies
   

 Speaking of ladies - what a group of hot babes! 

    

Scott feeling pleased with himself  /  me & Amy - happy as usual   / And Ron with the ladies again.  What's a guy to do?

 
   

Trouble is brewing.  Why didn't someone separate them?!!
   Don't ask!  
   
It's a contest!  Who's hair sticks up the most?! We will miss you Ron, you're the best!!
