The Stars At Night Are Big And Bright....

This week I headed down south for some southern fun.
I had no idea when they said "Texas Pride" how much they really mean it! There were Texas flags everywhere, Lone Stars, and the outline of the state all over the place. There are NO mountains!
My friend, Shauna has a house there they were getting ready to sell after renting it for four years. It really was a sweet house filled with great memories for them. We ended up cleaning and painting most of the house and spending some time working on a floor that was waxed but shouldn't have been.
We did take a short break to meet up with my Uncle George. He is like a dad to me, and it was a blessing to see him again. Tons of old memories came flooding back and I remembered how much I enjoyed living with him and my Aunt while I was young. He almost convinced me that my kids need a dog, but we'll see about that.
We ran into a few gecko's. I wish I could have brought one home for my kids to see, but we all know even if I could, that wasn't going to happen.
Shauna introduced me to this amazing friend, Maylea (hopefully I didn't just slaughter the spelling). We stayed at her house, ate her food and stayed up WAY too late having fun conversations. I'm glad I now have a friend in Texas.

As we flew in, I am reminded about what a beautiful place we live in. The mountains are gorgeous and colorful, the Great Salt Lake is a magnificent sight. I must say, it's good to be home!
