Long distance friendship is always a knotty thing to manage.
You want to keep up with each other's live without annoying one another.
You want to have phone date or Facetime but you're never free at the same time. Texts can ping back and forth & before you know it the months have drifted by.
If you don't just say "hey you, i'm coming to see you" & get up and do it then you could risk your connection slipping into obscurity & losing the friendship altogether. It will be one of those things where you look back years from now and think "Hmm...I wonder what happened to so & so..."
And what is a little trip across town gonna hurt?
This time I booked my ticket & headed over to Dallas to spend the weekend with Jen & celebrate her birthday.
If you followed me on Instagram, you'd have seen this photo on my way to Dallas.
I got into town just in time to freshen up & get ready for dinner.
Jen & I met the other gals for dinner & drinks at Sambuca.
Sambuca is a buoyant & bustling restaurant with live band serenaded us with awesome covers.
We quickly get settled in our table with our cocktails.
This Sling Back cocktail was absolutely refreshing.
A splash of Grey Goose with St. Germaine & Champagne married well together.
We ordered just a little bit of everything to share.
Calamari fritti, Buca beignets, Niman Ranch Pork Belly, Seared Duck breasts, pizza & hummus trio.
Jen absolutely adored her new cowboy boots & cream infinity scarf.
The place was buzzing & every inch of it was filled.
But, isn't she just adorable?!
Jen, Annie & I ended the night with a bag of goodies.
Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits!
And harshbrown. mmmmmmh!
Perfectly greasy to absorb all the alcohol we consumed.
Goodnight.
See you tomorrow.
