She just had a baby in Sept, and it had been a couple years sense we've seen each other. The trip was long overdue. Texas is...big (Yes I'm captain obvious today) Jill and Eric live in College Station/Bryan, which is "small". Bigger then tri-cities though, and they are only an hour away from Houston. Any hour away from us is...farm land, empty space, in short, NOTHING. Needless to say I had a blast and I loved being with her and Lani all day. Oh my gosh I've never seen a baby smile so much. All she did was smile. "Good morning Lani" Big smile,"You're so cute Lani" Big smile,
"I'm going to kidnap you and take you home with me" Big smile.
I took more pictures of her smiling then I did of anything else on the trip!
As per Joey's request I took a picture of myself in front of the Aggies Stadium, home of the 12th man. Jill and I drove around the stadium a couple times before we found a spot to take a picture from. We also discussed what the 12th man thing was, totally confusing. We decided it was the Male cheerleaders/Callers, because they don't have regular girl cheerleaders, until we asked Eric who told us that the Crowd was the 12th man. I get it, I just think its stupid. But then again Aggie fans aren't your normal college football team fans, they are insane! Gig'Em! (Now I don't know how this happened, but while I was editing I found out that I didn't update the picture of me in front of the stadium. but sense the date is now 1/10/10 and this all happened at the first of December, I'm done working on this post so lets all pretend its on here, Jill will vouch for me that I really did get a picture in front of the Aggies Stadium)
Sense this was a birthday/Christmas trip we had to make gingerbread houses. I mean its right there in small writing under 'Christmas visits to friends you haven't seen in a long time'. Jill and I made the gingerbread from scratch, not as hard as it looks...we did burn them a little. We also made gingerbread people, man and women. The gingerbread lady came out with a bubble that made her look pregnant. Even the stupid cookie people are getting knocked up, whats wrong with me!
While I was down there, Nate Mcphie came to visit us. We had a great time talking and hanging out. Its great catching up with old friends.
Over all the trip was a great success, I still wish Jill would have let me buy that sweater (I'm still thinking about it Jill). It was cold, my flight was delayed in Denver because of the Snow that Houston got, but by the time I got to Houston all traces of snow was gone, except some left on cars, only proof that there really was snow.
After a week of being away I was missing my husband, and he was missing me.(He thought he could play video games all week and not miss me, boy was he wrong!) I just hope it doesn't take another 2 years and a baby to see each other again.
I had an hour lay over in SLC so my parents, Kimmy and Nick came to see me. It was really nice to see them. 
After that my flight home was relaxing. Joey picked me up, swung me around and kissed me when I landed safe at home.
