We're the Espinosa's

A Saturday in Columbus October 11th, 2009 by Kim

My sweet friends drove to meet up with me in good old Columbus, Texas…or Columbia as we kept calling it. We ate at Schobel’s, which I had heard a lot about and always wondered about. As I waited for the girls to arrive (after a quick-quick stroll around wally world) I naturally did some people watching Columbus-style. I saw lots of people enter the restaurant who I imagine have decades of Schobel’s experience behind them. It was really cute, and I imagine it’s a big hit on Sunday afternoons, if they’re even open.

To our surprise, Schobel’s is a buffet until 3 pm. Who knew? (we were there long enough to shut the buffet down though, no worries) So we loaded up with typical buffet “fixins”. Really it just felt more like we would eat, talk a lot, then go for a second, third…. lunch. I mean, we took advantage. Our waitress was also excited to meet our Baby Mama, and we were equally excited to tell her about our future baby girl.

It was really, really good to see Grace, Marisa & Amanda!! We missed the rest of our girls- poor Corrie was sicko. We had much needed face to face convo and laughed a good bit. It was like a tease though and made me want a good long weekend with them + others.

Sidenote: We discussed Grace’s bday a while back when we all piled in a 15 passenger van…Grace brought to our attention that many of us have since forgotten that the main event that night was her birthday, and now act as if we were only celebrating the usage of a 15 passenger van. (which in itself is worth celebrating if you ever have the opportunity for a joyride in one) You should know: I just said, “hey nick, remember the night of the 15 passenger?” nick: “yeah” me: “why’d we go out that night?” nick: “it was Grace’s birthday!” …Grace, I just thought you should know!
