Trip to Texas

Last week after I crammed three weeks of office work into 3 days, Kevin and I headed to Texas for a long weekend!

I was really looking forward to the trip and thought it would be a lot of fun.  We had a wedding planned and some other "tentative" things we wanted to do!  Wellllll.. the trip from the start had a different agenda than I was aware of.  Wednesday morning at 4 am (yes we had a very early flight) we woke up to 8" of snow on the ground.  Mind you; its the end of March here!  Soooo needless to say the trip was off to an icy start!  We were delayed all morning long in the airport.  This caused us to miss our connecting flight and spend all of Wednesday watching airplanes instead of enjoying the sunny Texas weather and eating Mexican food! 

 

this is my I'm not happy about the delay face.

 This also caused us to have to "re-schedule" our already tight time frame. 

The trip was ok, we DID get to eat a lot of Mexican food!!  And we DID see all of our family (even if it was for an hour here and an hour there)  but it was such a short trip and we were so rushed that we had NO.. I mean NO time to enjoy or relax.  It was too much. We did not get to spend much time with our friends, or enjoy Texas and the beautiful weather!  I also didn't get my Lasik surgery done (that is another whole story) and instead I am now back to wearing glasses.

By the time we left we were so exhausted. We had traveled all over the place to try to cram it all in. We did however get to do a few things...

Kevin was so happy, he hugged the wall!

Kevin and I both got a pair of boots for our Birthdays (which is in two weeks :)

We got to eat lots of Mexican food!

We got to visit our friends in Dallas (all of whom have turned into parents in the last year!!)

We did go to Drew and Sam's beautiful wedding in Grandbury.

And then in the blink of an eye we were back to the cold cold north! I must say I was so bitter about the snow and its never ending grip it has on the North. But it is now into April and its still snowing... so if you cant beat em', join em'

I'm off to build a snowman!!
