Since it's Chad's spring break, we had decided to go camping this past weekend. I had packed the car full of sleeping bags, blankets, and our tent...then all of south Texas decided to open up and pour rain. :( I was so disappointed and just had a urge to get off this dang island. So at 11:30 a.m. I texted Chad, "I know this is a crazy idea but what if we drove 7 hrs to Wichita Falls for the weekend." After some convincing, Chad texted back, "Ok but we have to hurry to beat Obama." At 11:50 we were in the car driving. Obama had decided to come to Houston and I-45 was going to get shut down for a while. So we had to hurry and beat him!!! It was very funny once we got to Wichita Falls what we did and didn't pack in the rush. For example, we forgot my comb, Chad's underwear, and Georgia food bowl. But we had a wonderful time.
(Famous Statue in Wichita Falls...when we are all bored Susan always suggest, "Let's go look at the statue!")
There is just something wonderful about being with family and getting spoiled, no matter how old you are. Yes, I did have 2 Braum's milkshakes and Yes, we ate sushi for Sunday lunch- it was awesome. After being weighed down with stress and worry about the future, family was the answer Chad and I needed. I was even happy when we arrived back on our little island. And what makes it even better is my parents will be arriving in 8 hours to spend the week with us. Hooray! Chad and I are extremely blessed by the amazing families we have.
I am very thankful for them all!
May you have wonderful week!
I love that statue! :) I think because it has Indians and horses. I spent s lot of my childhood playing cowboys and Indians. So glad both of you came. It was a great weekend!
