I’m a week behind but I still want to capture it. Long update from a week or so ago that made me smile from ear to ear. You can just look at the little number of pictures I have embedded.
Friday, April 10th: I met Liliana at her house where we caught up for hours and started planning out our mini Austin trip for when we go to Lake Travis for a wedding. I cannot wait! Liliana then treated me to a dinner which I didn’t know she would do until we got the check. Thank you, Liliana!

Egg rolls, quail eggs, three different types of sushi rolls, and a ceviche type salad. Everything was lovely. I would definitely go back to this place again. Hopefully then they’ll actually have that Love Shot we wanted to try.
During my time with Liliana, Cantu had texted me talking trash about how the Spurs were going to beat up the Rockets.Him contacting me was perfect timing because I was going to mail something to him when it neared his birthday. Before the night ended, we decided that if things work out, we would meet up for a bit the next day. I was really hoping we do since we hadn’t seen each other in 4 years. Crazy how time flies.
Liliana and I head home to find Patricia and Ricardo chilling in front of the telly to which I hung out with them a bit before we all headed to bed.
Saturday, April 11th: Liliana headed home for the Bluebonnet Festival so Patricia and I had our date day. IHOP for breakfast, HEB to buy goodie bag items for some FTKers, then went and watched an early bird showing of Furious 7. I wept like a baby. Ride In Paradise, Paul.
Patricia’s friend sold beauty products and invited a few friends over to see them while I put the goodie bags together. Once the last person from the event left, Patricia and I went off to UTSA for the 2015 FTK Dance Marathon. Midway through Patricia and I grabbed a late lunch at A&W — which I really don’t recommend. The floor was slippery and felt like it hadn’t been cleaned so everything just made my stomach turn.
We went back and stayed til the end to see FTK surpass the previous year in fundraising. So proud of them and thankful I was able to catch up with old friends and advisors. Many tears and laughter.
Since I had dinner plans with some FTK folks, I did a quick meetup with Cantu. I couldn’t stay long so I jumped out of Patricia’s car and stood outside where we did our hugs, gave him his gift, and caught up as fast as we can in the 5 minutes of what felt like 2 seconds. I was sad I couldn’t stay. He opened his gift after we departed and he loved it … or so he says. Which I am happy about. Love when people are happy because of the little things!

We met up with the other FTKers where everyone ordered alcohol and food and I stuck with wings. Which I regret getting because they were so delicious I couldn’t stop until I had a few left. Sigh … It was a grand time. I really do miss seeing these almost every day. Everyone move to Houston, puhlease.
Afterward it was back home to watch telly and fall asleep.
Sunday, April 12th: I drove home promptly after waking up (with the little sleep I had) and pretty much passed out from exhaustion.
Monday, April 13th: I got a text message from Matthew H. I hadn’t spoken or seen him in almost 2 years and catching up with him, seeing he’s doing well and even better than before makes my heart swell up so big! I love hearing from people from my past and how wonderful they are doing.
The fact I got to see Cantu and catch up with Matthew definitely made my month.
