Trip to Houston

This past weekend my sister and I were able to go on a little road trip to Houston. It was a long time coming, as I miss my family dearly. But before we headed to Houston I wanted to stop by my old Starbucks to see some of the people I saw EVERYDAY for a long time. On our way over there I called and simply asked "who is working?" Sweet Courtney gave me her name and every one else... she sounded a little creeped out. :P I thanked her and hung up! I walked in the door and there were the most beautiful faces- all smiling!! As soon as I saw Sarah I couldn't help my myself, the tears began to fall... She is pregnant and I have missed it, but I am so thankful that she is prego and  that God is Good! All the ladies looked so beautiful, Tara and her exciting adventures ahead are so sweet, maybe she will be a co-worker with me?!?! :P Courtney and her new hubby... she is one awesome lady, working 2 jobs- I love it!! And of course there is Stephen, oh Stephen...haha I am so happy for him and his wife, newly married a few weeks ago!! I will say there was one really sad thing about the surprise visit, my Patrick was not there, aka Sammy. But I hope to see her soon, I know UTA will be her stomping ground soon (fingers crossed) So now, on to Houston...

Friday I ate lunch with my little sister Katherine, aka Subea, and she loved it. She is growing up so fast and I hate that I can't be there more to see it. She is so beautiful and smart! I did "embarrass" her after lunch, I know I know, I shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't help myself! I gave her a big kiss on the cheek and said "I LOVE YOU" all her little friends giggled, I think one little boy said, "ooo kisses". Later I find out from mom her version of the story... she secretly loved it :)

Next on the trip was my sweet sweet time with my long time friend Haleigh! Wow, had it been a long time since we had seen each other. Seriously I think at least 3 years. But of course as soon as we got together it was like no time had passed at all. Her love for her husband and family is so refreshing to see and hear about. Her heart is focused and truly seeking after God's provision for the next steps in their life! :) 

I also got to spend time with my grandparents. Both have been such an inspiration for my life. I am truly blessed to have such great support and love. My mommy too, I got see her a lot, she is wonderful! ;) Also seeing Deb and Dad was great, we love talking politics with them! haha.
