Or so it seemed anyway. We landed in Houston on April 16th at 7:00pm CST after a 9 hour flight. I admit, I was a little out of it when we landed. It was a mix of emotions from exhaustion, excitement, anticipation all combined into one big blah. Our good friends picked us up and took us to a local place to eat some crawfish and have our first Bud Light in 6 months. It was great, it really was.
However, it wasn't log that I started to feel the full force of American food. I instantly looked and felt 6 months pregnant after all the sodium and "light" beer. The next day we got out LandCruiser out of storage which needed a new battery then went to Buffalo Wild Wings for more sodium infused food. Friday morning we took off for Mississippi. There we arrived to have a wonderful night with family by my parents pool just hanging out. It was great food for the soul. Saturday my husband and I spent with my dad going to Southern Miss spring football game then to a baseball game against LA Tech, which happens to be my husband's alma mater. My mom took the kids to dye Easter eggs and visit with other family members. We got back to my parents home around 6:30 to have three of my best girls friends show up last minute. It was so fun! We were really able to catch up and just be for a little while. Sunday morning was church followed by an egg hunt then more food, a lot of food. I kept telling myself not to feel to badly about eating so much. I wasn't going to have these foods again for at least another year.
Monday we took off to Louisiana to see my husband's family. There we spent time with his twin brother, sister-in-law and their 3 kids. Our kids really enjoyed getting to see them.
Thursday we headed back to Houston. Friday night we had a rehearsal dinner and didn't stay up too late in preparation for the wedding on Saturday. The wedding was at 1:00 on Saturday. It was a beautiful event and the weather was perfect. Saturday night I was able to spend more time with some other friends and didn't go to bed until 2:00. It was more catching up and chatting.
Our flight back was uneventful which is good. We were all stressed and tired. The border control line was SO long then MK's finger prints wouldn't go thru correctly. It all turned out fine but was stressful in the mean time.
We are home now and trying to get back into the swing of things. It's now 12:45 am and we are wide awake. I think it may be hard on the girls in a day or two. We shall see.
Now on to more adventures.
