After a 24-hour car ride, I am back from Texas. We drove straight through. We had 4 drivers and thus there was no need for sleeping stops. Benson was stubborn and drove the whole time though. Overall the drive wasn't too bad (except the last 5 hours through Wyoming) and I discovered Bensons love for a walkie talkie. I am glad to be back and have him here with me. I thought I would share a few photos of our last days in Texas. We went to the Blue Bell icecream factory and discovered how their icecream was made. Good stuff.

I couldn't be happier to have him home! It is going to be a crazy next couple of months for me and him:)

Benson and I were able to venture to the Houston Temple this last saturday. It is such a pretty temple and a fun little day trip.

TEXAS

I haven't been so good about giving a Texas update. Let's just say I have been pretty busy and I am loving every minute of it!

Last night I did a Black and White dinner with some of my favorite girls. I spent a lot of time with these girls in High School. We took the same AP classes and shared a (very nerdy) love of room 133 together.

These girls are some of the most incredible people I know. We don't get together enough, but when we do it is a beautiful thing. It is weird that life has taken us in all different directions. We have all done our own things, yet remain great friends. I love themed dinners and am hoping we start doing this more often.

On a bit of a different note... I see this boy tomorrow!!!!
I have been talking to him on the phone all week. I couldn't be more happy, giddy, and excited to see him!!! We get two weeks of play time with his family in Texas and then I am bringing home with me!
