summer break. ish.

for my 6 day summer break, arley came to visit.  we got sushi (totally texas, eh?), went to a rodeo, floated the river, went up the "tower of the americas," watched a 4-d movie (where i was screaming the whole time and arley was super duper embarrassed) went to the alamo, went to the beach (port aransas, near corpus christi), ate barbacoa, thought about going hiking, and watched a lot of movies.  i forgot that arley is a movie watcher!

it was really great.

when i first left for texas, i was so nervous, because everyone knows that long distance things don't work out.  and then we figured it out.  and then i was nervous, because what if we only knew how to have a long distance thing?!  but it all worked out.  we were only awkward and weird and shy for about 10 minutes.  or 20...

and everywhere we went, i forgot my camera.

here is the evidence that arley was ever here:

leaving port aransas.  we saw sea turtles and dolphins!

after the trauma of a 4-d movie

waiting to ride the squeaky, rusty elevator a billion feet up in the tower of the americas.  arley is doing his movie star face, i think.  i'm just trying to be supportive.
