A Farewell Fiesta for the Pete & Jenn

On Friday, September 7, my friends Kristian & Quince hosted a farewell party for Pete & Jenn, two awesome people! They, along with Max, Rocket, and Suby, headed for the rocky mountains of Colorado on Sunday. :(

I still remember meeting Jenn, Meredith, and Leia three years ago during a 12-mile Dallas FIT run. We were on the back side of White Rock Lake when Jenn asked me if I had any good stories. Following the end of the run and first introduction, she invited me to join her along with a host of friends, including Pete, Lynden, Meredith, Saul, Cathy, Elyse, and Brian, for breakfast at Cafe Brazil where Jenn inquired as to whether I was gay or straight. At this point, Leia was making excuses to not hang out with us. I'm sure that there was a tiny voice in her head warning her to stay away from me in particular. Whether or not that tiny voice is correct is yet to be determined.



Little did I know then what that would have turned into. Since then I have met some of the finest people I have ever known--we've run together, dined together, biked together, camped together, and, last but not least, partied together. I cannot say enough about what awesome people they are and about how they've impacted my life.

I look forward to many more adventures together, but, in the meantime, Pete & Jenn, you will truly be missed...

Love you guys,
