I’m Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Did you miss me? :)

eSuitor and I took a trip home to the Lone Star State for a visit with the family from Friday to Monday. It was the first time for anyone in my family to meet him. We had a great time and everyone loved him!

We spent Friday and Saturday with my Dad. My sis and bro-in-law hung out with us, too. My Dad lives WAY out in the country on a ranch. It was so beautiful to look up and see the stars sparkling like diamonds in the night sky. We rode around on my Dad’s 4-wheeler, ate delicious barbecue, and enjoyed the swimming pool.

Saturday afternoon, we drove from my Dad’s place to my hometown and went country-western dancing that night. My man knows how to boot-scoot! So much fun! The dance hall also had a karaoke room, so you know I had to sing my signature song, “Son of a Preacher Man”. eSuitor said he felt proud that I was his girlfriend when I was up there singing. MAJOR BROWNIE POINTS!!! ;)

Sunday, we went to church where he met a lot of my friends. After church, we went out for lunch with my mom, sis, and bro-in-law. Mom treated us to a scrumptious brunch, and it was fun to be all together. Sunday evening, we had a cookout/party where more friends and family convened to size up the man! ;) He was a real trooper, and so far all feedback from the Texas contingency has been positive.

Monday, we relaxed, ate Tex-Mex, hung out with the fam, and then got on the plane to come home. It made my heart melt a little when we collapsed into our seats and he told me what a great time he had. Then he said, “I love you” and I dozed off with my head on his shoulder, exhausted from the weekend, with a big smile on my face. :)
