We left San Antonio in time to arrive at our next event only a few minutes late. My ex-roomie and friend, Bianca was throwing a wedding reception to celebrate the wedding she had in Vegas a few weeks beforehand. It was held at her parents lovely home in Spring Branch TX. It was great to see her and a few other sorority sisters and to meet everyone's husbands.
We continued our frantic pace by leaving the reception to run over to my cousin's new house in The Heights in Houston and so that Ryan could see their new baby. I had already met the baby in April on my visit home but it was his first time. Neither of us had seen the new house. It is much larger than their old one and very pretty. They are having trouble choosing furniture so it is pretty empty but I am sure it will be beautiful when completed. My parents met us at my cousin's house and Ryan and I took off with my father to see a Dynamo Game.
Ever since World Cup, Ryan has been very interested in MLS soccer. A friend of mine in Houston has season tickets to the Dynamo's and as his wife's boss had offered them box seats for this particular game, his seats were open. They were just to the right of the goal box and it was an interesting experience to sit with all the regulars. The game ended 0-0 but it was fun to watch and even more fun to watch the crowd.
The next few days we just rested at my parents house, enjoying the pool and reorganizing the wedding closet. Monday night we celebrated birthdays. Ryan's birthday happened on this trip and my mom's is close. One of my cousins joined the family for a huge dinner at Perry's Steakhouse. Note to veggies- they smear their baked potatoes in bacon fat before they are cooked! The salads are very good though!
However on Tuesday morning it was time to be off once again!
Just in case you aren't keeping track; 1 wedding, 2 receptions, 2 babies, 2 birthdays.
