Return to Houston September 11 - 14, 2003 |
|
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!! |
