Louie and I, finally made it back to Texas... TOGETHER. Although I have made it back to Texas on multiple occasions, Louie had not been able to take a trip South since we made the 18 hour move up here last June. His goal was to eat more Mexican food then any man has ever consumed before. We definitely gave it a valiant effort. My tummy did not not appreciate the adventure.
The weekend of the 24th, we flew into San Antonio and headed straight to Round Rock for Luke and Emily's wedding. Unfortunately, we could not make it in for the rehearsal dinner but the wedding was gorgeous, complete with cowboy hats and plenty of tears. The cermony took place outside and the pastor, Luke, and Emily stood under an arbor that Luke and his uncle made. It was made from wood carved to look like branches crawling up four posts. The arbor is the correct dimensions for a queen size bed and will serve as the bed frame for their master bed. The bride, Emily, truly looked like something out of Bridal Vogue.
Here is a link to a picture of the two of them under the arbor.

On Monday, Louie and I headed to Houston to visit his family. We had a wonderful visit with Garvin, Carol, Stephen, Sarah, and JoAnna. It was so great to catch up with them and I know Louie enjoyed every minute. He especially had fun helping JoAnna show off the gigantic bubbles she was blowing out on the porch. She would blow a large bubble and then yell "open it, open it!!" so Louie (or Garvin) would open the porch door to show everyone inside. This would have been fine every couple of minutes, but it turned out that JoAnna thought every bubble was bigger than the last so Louie was opening the door about every 3-7 seconds. It was too cute!
Louie's parents are in the process of moving into a fabulous condo near downtown Houston. We were able to take a tour on Tuesday morning and can see why they are so excited about their new place. We can't wait to see it once they've officially moved in and made it their own.
Tuesday afternoon, we were able to visit my old school and enjoy happy hour with some of my teacher friends. It's always nice to visit with them and catch up, although a little bittersweet. I really miss seeing them everyday, and visiting them reminds me how lucky I was to be a small part of their lives.
Dawn, Donna, Sandy, Rachel, Baby Georgia, and MeAfter our Houston trip, we headed back to San Antonio to continue our Texas Tour. My grandmother, Grommie, came in on Thursday and we were able to have dinner with her that evening. It was really nice getting to visit with her.

That Friday, the John and Sarah Wedding Events began. Everything was beautiful and just as Sarah wanted it to be. To keep our two Sarah Owens' apart, we've started calling the newest Sarah - Sarah Caroline (her middle name). It helps us keep things straight. See the wedding pictures below for the rest of the inside scoop.
The wedding pictures will soon be posted at:
