Visiting Houston for Family and Angie


Dave was flying this weekend. He had an overnight in McAllen, Texas so I decided to go to Houston to see many family members and my friend Angie. It was really nice to see everyone! I saw my mom, dad, Patrick, Lydia, John, Michelle, Reganne, Pop, Polly, Great Aunt Jean, Cousin Patrick, Cousin Dan, Sheri, DJ, Chris, Cody, Great Uncle Dan, and Great Aunt Delle. We all met at Aunt Jean's house. There was a ton of yummy, yummy food! We talked, took pictures, and ate.

Then I headed to south Houston to meet up with Angie. She and I hung out with her friend Amber because it was her birthday. We had some yummy pizza and wine. Later Angie and I tried to stay up all night so she could take me to the airport around 4:00 AM. We ate Taco Cabana tortillas and cheese to help us stay awake. (YUMMMMMMM!! - we don't have Taco C. in Ga. - that I know of.) After that we took a two hour nap and then took me to the airport. I got home around 8am and decided to take a 2 hour nap again. I had an awesome time!

Arizona trip (in short)


Dave will probably post a more detailed description of our trip but, I wanted to share just a little while he's on a trip. After the wedding shower in Austin, TX I flew back to Atlanta Sunday April 2nd. Then Dave and I got all packed up and we left for Phoenix Monday April 3rd to go on a quick tour of Arizona and Vegas.

We rented a Saturn SUV for all of the mountain (and some off road) driving. Here are the places we went: Phoenix, Prescott (to see all of Dave's college places - and have In N Out and eat at the Prescott Brewing Co.), Prescott Valley, Jerome, Cottonwood, Sedona, Flagstaff, The Grand Canyon, Ashfork, Kingman, The Hoover Dam (where we almost got blown over the edge of it), Boulder City, and Vegas!

It was pretty quick for about a 3 day trip. We had a great time though! I had never been to that area of the US and it's one of Dave's favorite places. We have pictures of the trip and if you would like to see them just email us. (o;

Sarah's Wedding Shower


(In the picture - I'm running because I am still learning how to work the timer on the camera. hehe)
April 1, 2006 I helped host a shower for Sarah Holt. Even though I'm in Georgia I talked often with Sarah's friend Wendy to work on setting up a shower for Sarah. That weekend I was able to get Melanie Veatch to come fly with me to the shower and meet up with Katy Ellis. It was a great reuinion for us all. Sarah was so happy that we all could make it. The shower seemed to go great and everyone had a wonderful time. While I was there I got to visit some awesome local Austin places: The Oasis, Kirby Lane, and Trudy's. Plus it was nice to be back in Texas for a little visit.
