My Weekend in Texas

I have the best friends. And yet, sadly I live far away from more than half of them. Happily I flew to Houston this past weekend to spend a few days with Emily. It was a long overdue trip and it didn't disappoint. I had such a good time.

We had massages, facials, and pedicures.

We ate soooo much great food I probably put on a few pounds. Mmmm, I'm still thinking of the leftovers in Emily's fridge wishing I was there for lunch... Crawfish Corn Chowder or Shrimp Perlo or Monkey Bread for a snack? And that's just what we had at the house, every meal was too good.

Emily's friend threw her a suprise baby shower at the most charming restaurant.

I learned to play Settlers of Catan, but it would have been nice to win just once. :)

And then there were the endless hours of good old girl talk.

Her husband was such a good sport about staying with the kids for three days straight.

Although I don't feel too bad for Ryan because these kids are adorable!

And have I mentioned what a super-husband Brad is? He took off two and half days of work so I could go play. The kids barely noticed I was gone. He even took them to Ava's princess birthday party! And remembered to take pictures with his cell phone so I could enjoy the cuteness.

I had a GREAT weekend. I feel refreshed, a little sad to have left, and so happy to be home.

And lucky me, I get to visit Shaylyn in only three more weeks.

What can I say? I'm a little spoiled.
