Moving home!…well at least one of us
I am moving home! Sadly, Matt and I have decided to separate…but only for about 3 months! We set out on July 4th for the LONG drive to Humble. Since we knew the drive was going to be long and our last bit of time together so we planned a few fun stops along the way. On the evening of July 4th we arrived in Las Vegas, NV. I had never been to Vegas so Matt saw that I enjoyed the ultimate Vegas experience in 10 hours! We ate, walked the strip, and took in all the lights of Vegas in one evening. Unfortunately we didn’t have more time to spend but I do look forward to visiting again, and doing some shopping and maybe even trying my hand at becoming a Vegas show girl! We got up EARLY on the 5th and began the 2nd leg of our trip. We visited Hoover Dam on our way to Albuquerque, NM. Hoover Dam was a beautiful site to see, the water was so green, amazing! We had a nice stay in Albuquerque and set out for Austin the next morning. We enjoyed driving through Texas…Fredericksburg and Austin are some of our favorite places; we knew we were home when we got to the hill country! Matt’s brother, Adam, and his girlfriend, Genie, were nice enough to host us for our 3rd night of the trip. We had a blast hanging out with Adam and Genie in their new apartment. We ate at Chuy’s for our first night back in Texas…I think we were both in heaven. In addition to getting to see Adam and Genie we enjoyed breakfast with one of my best friends Myra, her husband Patrick and their very precious daughter Morgandy. It was so much fun to see Myra, enjoy Patrick’s waffles and watch Morgandy show Matt and me all that she has learned in the last few months. After visiting with Myra and Patrick we spent more time with Adam and Genie. We managed to fit in BBQ at Matt’s favorite restaurant, Rudy’s and a time of shopping at the Arboretum. Later that afternoon we headed for Houston, the 2,000 mile trip was almost over! Home was such a great site after our long drive but it was sad to know that Matt and I would soon be leaving each other’s sides. The countdown has begun…its only 3 months! We’re going to be utilizing our airline miles…I feel like we’re dating again. J
