On Friday, March 15, we crossed into one of our favorite states and the birthplace of Becca & Isaiah – Texas.
I realized I made a scheduling blunder when the day before I contacted the friends we were planning to stay with and found out I had told them we were coming a week later. Thankfully, our hosts were very gracious and still able to keep us for the night. We had a good time visiting with Steve & Kelly.
We left Saturday late morning to spend the afternoon with our friends the Bennetts. The kids enjoyed harvesting, preparing, cooking, and serving onion grass.
From there we went to Arlington to spend Saturday and Sunday nights with the Gamblins. We enjoyed visiting APC on Sunday and seeing many of the friends we had when we attended there.
Monday (the 18th) we had lunch with our friend Leon.
Monday late afternoon we got to Gary’s & Karen’s home, our home for the next five nights. Our kids got their first taste of March Madness.
Tuesday we had lunch with the Olsons.
After lunch we headed to UTA to visit our old stomping grounds. Lots has changed since we were newlyweds – we’ve gone from 2 to 7! Lots of memories. Becca was happy to visit a favorite tree.
Tuesday evening we got to see the Countrymans.
Wednesday we made a visit to my OBGyn. She was delighted to see Becca, Isaiah, and all of us.
We then went to visit the NICU. The nurse at the desk recognized us immediately. They were delighted to see Becca and us all.
Wednesday evening we got to visit with the Johnson’s.
Thursday lunch we met with one of Becca’s NICU nurses.
Thursday late afternoon (March 21) we met with our program coordinator at The Seed Company and enjoyed eating/playing at a park.
And that sums up our first week in Texas! (Tired yet? 😂)
