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!

Las Vegas

I went on a little get away Vegas get away this weekend for Bri-Bri's farewell. On Friday we loaded up the car and made our way south.

It was blazing hot which made it perfect pool weather. We did a little night and day swimming. While we were shopping it was 109 outside. I thought my shoes were going to melt to the pavement. I am still not sure why most of Vegas shopping is outdoors. Good thing the stores make it worth it. I managed to find the H&M:)

Before we went shopping on Saturday we hit up Long John Silvers. Selina had never had a hushpuppy before so we made sure she had the experience.
She was hesitant at first, but managed to eat the whole thing.
One of my favorite parts of Vegas is the 7-elevens (I think it is because of the heat) I have a things for slurpies and they have 7-elevens on every corner. Viva Las Vegas!
