I flew by stealth to Dallas yesterday morning in order to surprise Laura and Scott. A lunch of the PHPC gang was planned in lieu of a shower, and so Judy and Ellen conspired with me to come join in the fun. Ellen and I, without intending it, ended up sitting one seat away from each other on the same flight, so we were able to ride in to El Fenix (where else?) together. Our group consisted of Dr. Bill, Judy, Steve, Laura, Scott, Ellen, Margaret, and me. It was really fantastic to sit down with all of them again and reminisce.

Afterwards Ellen and I scoured the swanky new Northpark Mall for silver shoes to go with our bridesmaid dress, courtesy of Scott. :) And of course a homecoming wouldn't be complete without a dinner at Angelo's with my family.

Today is a little more loosely scheduled, although the idea of a breakfast excursion to IKEA has been floated. Tonight the larger Harris contingent is descending upon Buca di Beppo to see each other - I'm just glad I could be here for this one!

I didn't bring any form of camera on this trip, which feels a bit odd but also freeing. I'm here to just enjoy.
