Monday I had lunch with Kirk and his mom. It was nice, I like his mom. We went to my favorite mexican restaurant in town, and when they dropped me off, we took pictures in my driveway. That evening, Kirk and Brandon picked me up, and we went to Kirk's to eat. His mom made ham and brocolli, rice, & cheese casserole at Kirk's request. After dinner we sat on the porch and talked, then watched a movie. Before we started the movie, Kirk said he had a surprise for me. He gave me a silver and pearl frame with a picture in it that we'd taken at lunch. He was so proud of himself, lol. After the movie, which we didn't finish because Kirk and Brandon got distracted and beat the crap out of each other, we went to Kirk's grandma's to play pool, his friend Kevin met up with us. The guys played drinking games and told old football stories and talked about Kirk's job. Then we went to a truckstop for breakfast, and the boys embarrassed me. We took the boys home, and Kirk and I drove around until I had to come home and then said goodbye. I didn't get emotional, I just hugged him and told him to be careful. Yesterday when I got off work I had a voicemail saying he was in Dallas and would call me when he got to Kuwait. He called today from Ireland and talked to Daddy. So I should get a phonecall this evening from him. For the record: No, Kirk and I aren't "together", we're friends. I'm so excited! Jack Ingram, one of my favorite Texas country artists, is going to be in Inez a week from Saturday! My mom's even going to the show with me. I can't wait!
