Betsy and I flew to Texas for Sid's wedding. Our flight was delayed a few hours so it messed up our plans Thursday. Originally we were going to make it there to go out for Lydia's birthday but sadly we missed it.
We ended up landing around 7:30. By the time we got our luggage, rental car and out of the airport it was around 9:00. So Betsy and I went to Torchy's Tacos. It was so good!
We made it to Charlie's around 10:00. It was so fun being there with Charlie, Ali, and Betsy!
We were up late catching up. I was so grateful for Charlie and Angeline letting us stay at their home. Also, Ashlyn and Lydia gave up their rooms so Betsy and I got our own rooms. It was way better than a hotel and fun to all be together!
Friday morning we got to sleep in. Then Betsy, Ali and I drove to a trail in the Balcones. I ran the trail and Betsy and Ali hiked. We met up at the car an hour later. I decided I would run out a half hour and then run back since I didn't really know the trails and area. I was trying to push it and run fast but it was hard. It wasn't too steep but definitely had some good incline. I finally got thirty minutes out and then turned around. I told myself I was going to try to run faster so I could get back in time. I had stopped to take pictures so I was worried I would be gone longer than an hour and Betsy and Ali would be waiting. Right after I turned around and tried to run faster, I tripped on a rock and fell. I haven't fallen on a run ever. It totally caught me off guard and humbled me. I had some road rash but thankfully I wasn't injured worse than that. I carefully ran back and got to the car right after Ali and Betsy. The weather was overcast so that was nice so it wasn't as hot.
That afternoon we drove to a Thai place by Katie's house. It was fun to try but not my most favorite Thai food. They did have really yummy chicken satay.
Then we went to Katie's to help set up for the dinner. I love spending time with my sisters!
That night we had a fun dinner with Brandon's family. It was nice meeting his mom, dad, and siblings. We enjoyed visiting and eating yummy food. Aunt Wendy and Uncle John came from Dallas. They were so awesome to drive my parents back to their hotel in San Antonio that night after the dinner finished.
Saturday morning I went running but there are so many dogs in Texas so it was a little nerve wracking! I went pretty early so as I ran out 3 miles I didn't see or hear too many dogs. Then you could tell they all woke up because I saw and heard way more on the way back. It was frightening. All were fenced except one dog jumped over the fence and came toward me. It seemed like a nice dog but it was big and I felt scared still. So after that I ran with a stick. Haha!
We left to San Antonio that morning. Betsy was the driver the whole trip which I was so grateful for! So Betsy, Charlie, and I rode together. We went to the temple ceremony in the San Antonio Temple. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony.
We missed Kasey but I'm glad we could get a partial sibling picture.
I'm so grateful my mom and dad felt up for going to the wedding. My mom has recovered well from her Meneire's and Covid episodes.
After the wedding we went to Fogo De Chao, which is a Brazilian Steakhouse for the wedding luncheon. It was like Tucanos. It was very good and it was a very enjoyable meal.
I'm so happy for Sid and Brandon!
On the way back to Austin I stopped at Buc-ee's to get souvenirs. James, Lynnlee, and Kade got t-shirts. Sienna requested a blanket. Tag was up for anything so I got him a sweet pajama onesie.
This is what Tag got. It's perfect for him and he is going to wear it for his Halloween costume so that's fun too.
Saturday night we hung out at Charlie's one last time. Katie's family came too so that was awesome to see them again!
Sunday we went to Charlie's ward. It was a later time so we left straight from there to the airport. Our flight was delayed a little but thankfully only a half hour so we still made it home at a good time. I was so excited to see my family and they loved their souvenirs.
