My stepdad has always been one of my biggest fans: he always recognizes and is proud of my accomplishments, but also challenges me to go further, knowing "further" is within my grasp. Gene also loves to celebrate these achievements, and is damn good at doing so. Today he came to Austin for the day to celebrate me finishing my second year of law school. We had such a relaxing day and it was wonderful being able to spend time with him, which I haven't been able to do much since moving back to Austin. We brunched at Trudy's, enjoying late morning margaritas as Gene and I are wont to do when we dine together. Then we proceeded to the Domain for some wonderful outdoor shopping. After exhausting the clothes racks, we caught an afternoon showing of the Hangover 2, which was absolutely hilarious although exactly the same as the first. We ended the day with an amazing dinner at Truluck's downtown over some perfect martinis and incredible seafood. It was a day full of being absolutely and entirely spoiled rotten, but the most important take-away from the day is knowing I am so incredibly blessed to have Gene in my life and am so grateful for the relationship he and I have. I love you Gene-o, thank you for everything!
