Yes, I know, excuses excuses…but really, I have been very busy here lately!
It all started when we sold my car…
Saying Goodbye! =(
this was harder than I thought it would be!
…which happened A LOT faster than we thought it would! On top of that, .02 seconds after the above picture was taken but camera decides it’s done and would rather not work, EVER AGAIN! So, at this point I have no car and no camera, all within a matter of moments! I’m feeling very empty inside!
The very next day I get a call from my Dad (who we had doing some leg work back in San Antonio for us), who luckily says “I’ve found y’all a good deal.” Sure enough, he did!
The second Justin walks in from work we put the pedal to the metal on getting all of the paperwork for our loan through so I can fly to San Antonio in 2 days to pick up the car in time to get to Tyler to pick up Courtney so I don’t have to drive back to Columbus on my own! AHHHH!
Paper work goes through, I book my flight, I get to San Antonio on Friday the 12th, get picked up from the airport in our FABULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL new Honda Pilot- which I can’t take any pictures of because my camera decided it was done- enjoy some pampering at Petra’s, eat the best queso in the world from Salsalito’s with Dad and Petra, get some great new clothes, watch Bride Wars with Dad and Petra, pick Dad up from surgery (dental work) and take him home…….that was my Friday & Saturday! like I said, busy!
Sunday, I hop in the car to start my trek back to Columbus. On my way, I stopped in Temple to see Granny and visit with her for a bit! It was a great visit and she looked cute as ever- sorry no pics =(
Finish driving home- in the world’s worst I-35 traffic, I swore I’d never drive that way again, we’ll see- eat Texas Roadhouse with Mom, Mime and Nana-Yum!…that was my Sunday evening.
Monday, I get up semi-early to go on the lake with my favorite red-headed nieces and their two older sisters…we had a blast!!! We found a HUGE turtle in their pool (Ashlyn has pics to prove it)!! It was a super quick visit but I was glad I got to see them at all!
At this point, I am DYING to get home to see my husband and show him our new car!!! So Courtney and I load up bright and early on Tuesday morning to make the 8 hour drive from Tyler to Columbus! She was a lifesaver!! I would have been bored out of my mind if it’d just been me! Instead we got in some great girl talk and made it home pretty quickly =)
I did a lil last minute straightening (I had cleaned before I left bc I knew I’d be in a time crunch) for the Georges arrival on Wednesday and they got here Thursday afternoon! We had a great couple of days with them but it went by entirely too fast!
Don’t fret! They have a fabulous camera, so we got several wonderful pictures!!!
