jazz under the stars

so dallas is pretty cool.
it's taken me about a year to warm up to it, but there really are some fun activities here (and not to mention some pretty great people). one of my good friends from work, joshulyn, had the brilliant idea of going to jazz under the stars a couple weeks ago. the dallas museum of art puts it on every thursday evening in may and june - there's a big stage and a jazz band that plays for tons and tons of people sitting on blankets and lawn chairs. the first week we went, jordy came with us and we had a blast! it was so wonderful just to sit outside, chat, enjoy some vino and each other's company :)
last thursday it was rainy, so jazz was canceled. but this week we got to go! brady is in town for a visit, so he and i met up with joshulyn and some of her friends. we ate and talked and even danced a little. i'm so sad that there is only one more! we'll have to find some more fantastic events like this one...
our little picnic
brady was a trooper - we sat on the concrete for about 2 hours (he had just driven in from Austin). this was his second night of outdoor musical activities. he went to blues on the green in Austin last night. laura was jeal.
the fabulous joshulyn - she's so much fun, toward the end of the night we went to the front of the stage and jazz-salsa-danced our little hearts out :) we're very excited for next week too!

weekend time! well, in about 6 hours...
