And that problem is TRAFFIC.
Holy night, have any of you experienced the wonderfulness (that's a word, right?) of Houston traffic?!? It's basically a parking lot at times. Amazing.
Living in Amarillo, I forget the small things like being able to drive from one end to the other of the city in about 25 minutes. In Houston, it takes roughly an hour and a half to get 12 miles. Sheesh!
I speak of Houston because that is where I am! Thanks to an overly kind mom and grandma, I got to make the trip here with them for my aunt's baby shower. Yes, my sweet aunt, Jamie, is preggers with her 1st baby--a boy--due in May. Her shower was thrown by her hubby's family here in Houston, so we thought it only appropriate (and of course fun!) to head down here and join in the celebration. Baby Boy has no name yet...hints the use of the reference to Baby Boy. Duh.
Anywho, we are having a fabulous time. My bro, Josh, still lives here, so we are camped out at his casa for a few days. Nothing like blow up beds and crazy night time talks to make for an exciting weekend.
We've already been to the shower, Urban Outfitters, Starbucks, Target, and Wal-Mart. I think our trip is fairly complete. :0)
I have really enjoyed this time of just being with this group of family members. I do, however, totally miss my sweet husband and babies back home! I know they are having fun, but I rarely ever get out and about without at least one little body with me. John is such a good daddy. I'm so blessed to have him in my life!
Tomorrow, we will visit with Jamie and her fam one more time before leaving on a jet plane back to A Town. I've loved the quick trip--had some great sleep, and I'll be ready to take on the next week of Spring Break. Super busy times to come!

Dry my eyes and calm my heart...no...Ikea visit?
I know!!!!!!!! You know me WAY too well! :) We didn't have time, nor did we have space to take things back. Boo.
I saw on facebook you were there for your aunts shower. Jamie is the only aunt I ever meet and wondered if it was her! How FUN!!! Tell her congrats for me and tell the lovely ladies you are with hello.
Yes, it is Jamie! We were so completely excited to go to her baby shower. I loved the time with my bro, mom, and grandma. John held down the fort with style! :)
