We’re only 4 years apart…for now

Posted By Hup | January 15, 2009

For the next 15 days, Stephanie and I are officially only 4 years apart. Today is her birthday (coincidentally it’s my mom’s birthday, too) and she’s now been gracing us with her presence on this Earth now for a whopping 24 years. If you talk to Stephanie about it, she seems to think that turning 24 means that she’s ‘really starting to get old’, which is awesome considering that I’m 28 and will turn 29 in 15 more days on January 30th.

But, for the time being the age gap between us has been lowered just a little bit and until my birthday we’ve only got a 4 year gap between us, which I guess makes me feel just a tiny bit better about myself. Not much, but just a little bit.

To celebrate her birthday we’re going down to Houston, TX to see her dad and step-mom, Bart and Shannon — aka ‘Shart’, and we’ll be rockin’ it out Tex-Mex style for the next few days. I’m pretty excited to check out the Texan lifestyle and from what Stephanie’s told me it’s basically the opposite of what we’re used to out here in California. Here are a few of the differences that I’m looking forward to seeing for myself:

Also, as I type this at the Oakland airport with Stephanie sitting next to me, I just realized that we said some of the same stuff in our posts (we’re both on our laptops), which is pretty gosh darn funny if you ask me. Anyways, we’ll update you later on in the week with some more Texas fun and hopefully some sweet video goodness to go along with it.

YEEEE HAW!

      Ah, Texas. I myself lived outside of Dallas for a year, and my sister and her partner live in Austin. I much prefer the latter. Also where I came by those killer cowboy boots all y’all in the office are so fond of…

      Enjoy, and Happy Birthday Steph!

      Tsk, tsk. I’m a vegetarian health food nut that moved from LA to Houston (then to SF and then BACK to Houston), and have had zero problems eating like a bunny down here. Everything is NOT deep-fried! I mean, ew! We have sushi and frozen yogurt, silly. The only difference is that it’s warm enough to eat it year ’round ;) Plenty of people drive hybrids, and in fact, I’ve seen more Smart Cars here than when I lived in SF. And I’ve never been to a beef jerky buffet. That sounds icky. But I have been to an all-you-can-eat crawdad joint. Yum. And they weren’t even deep-fried!

      But you are right about one thing. You most definitely don’t mess with Texas ;)

    What do you want to tell us, hmmm?
