We met up with her in Arlington on Saturday for dinner at my all-time, absolute, in-any-weather, most deliciously FAVORITE restaurant ever - CHUY'S - then for dessert at Pinkberry!! Pinkberry in Texas = a good thing! The first time I tasted the yummy goodness was on me and Emily's trip to Los Angeles over a year ago! Obviously, I had to include the flashback pic next to the remake!
Sunday after church, the Jimster and I headed to San Marcos for some shopping at the outlets and to visit Jimmy's sister Lisa. We had so much fun floating the river and hanging out at her apartment! Thanks for having us Lisa! :) On our way home we stopped in Austin to see Emily at her cute new house in Hyde Park!! I was so jealous of all the Chacos, bike-riding, and vintage living we saw.
Lately I have learned so much about what it means to be a loyal friend and how richly true friendship can bless your life. Emily makes it so easy to be her friend. She gets what it means to live the gospel and give grace abundantly. I want to be that kind of friend. I want to exude truth and mercy, to love with abandon and not be addicted to myself.
Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. -Matthew 16:24
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. -Proverbs 18: 24
