I feel as if I haven't stopped eating all day and, for the most part, I haven't. After a late night spent showing our Yankee friends what Austin, Texas is all about, we woke up this morning with Juan in a Million on our minds. Queso, a migas taco, and a nopalitos con huevos taco later, among their multiple Don Juans, we dropped the Yanks at the airport. Without realizing it, I had eaten breakfast two hours before a Freebirds lunch date with my lovely friend Ashley. I love me some Freebirds though, so it wasn't too difficult to get excited about another meal so soon after breakfast. One long lunch later, I went home to get ready for a relaxed Sunday dinner party with Kate and Kevin. We made stuffed shells and broccoli while we rehashed the weekend, talked politics, and listened to some great records. With all of the delicious food I had today, it's incredible I'm not in a deep food coma. There are still a few hours left in the day, though, I'm sure I could make it happen if I was intent on doing so!

June 4, 2011
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!
