Momma Went to Texas

At the beginning of March I was blessed with the opportunity to fly to Texas to see Johanna! Derek graciously told me to go and have fun and that he didn't mind at all keeping Joshua for the long weekend. He didn't quite know what he was getting into. Joshua ended up running a high fever all weekend and was not much fun. He ended up with an ear infection and Derek got the chance to take Joshua to the doctor twice in one weekend. I think he deserves an award for putting up with baby fussy pants. I had an absolute blast in Texas, although I was worried about my boy and missed both of my guys all weekend.

I got to Texas Friday afternoon and left Monday evening. It was so much fun to just have time to hang out with Johanna! We pretty much talked, and ate, and talked, and watched tv, and talked some more, and ate some more. One of our goals for the weekend was to sit and watch a Lifetime movie since we haven't done that since college. Saturday morning we accomplished that goal, although the movie we chose was absolutely awful. Don't worry, we watched it through to the end anyway. After our movie we went on a roommate date to Chick-fil-a like we used to do in college. It's the simple things in life! We also went and walked around Baylor where Johanna will be starting grad school this summer. (yay Jo!)

Going to see the actual Baylor bears....too bad they were sleeping in a cave and we didn't get to see them.

Then we went shopping, and Johanna bought me a cute skirt for my birthday! On Sunday we went to church, ate some Rotel, went to see an afternoon movie (what? who are we?) and stopped by Sonic for some cherry limemade goodness and FRIED PICKLES!!! I haven't stopped thinking about those fried pickles. They were so good! Our Sonic here doesn't have fried pickles.....sad day. You can feel sorry for me if you want. I guess I'll have to fly back to Texas to get some more. That sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Us with our Rotel....yyyyuuuuuummmmmmm0000000

Sunday night we played Mario Kart on Wii. I was pretty terrible, but it was oh so fun!

On Monday we went and got pedicures!! It's been a year since I've done that. Afterwards I had to go pack up so that we could hit the road to the airport. The weekend was much too short. I can't wait to go back!

Derek and Joshua survived the weekend. Little man was still sick when I got home so I got to take the day off on Tuesday and snuggle with him at home. By Wednesday he was back to his usual bouncing off the wall self. It took him a little while to realize when I left him to go to another room that I wasn't going away for good. I have to say I enjoyed the extra mommy love! I missed Derek and Joshua like crazy, but I am so thankful for a weekend away with my bestest good friend. Love you Jo!!
