Texas Forever :)

Well I am back in Albuquerque from a very short weekend trip to Houston, Texas. It was a blast and we did so many things in only two days!


We flew into Hobby Airport on Friday morning and went straight to the Houston Galleria, which was so fun! I am fashion illiterate and had no idea who most of the designers were so my mom was giving me the crash course for future reference, but I'm sorry to say I still have no idea who many of the designers were. :) We shopped for hours and even got in big trouble for taking pictures in Dylan's Candy Bar!! Haha. We still managed to get some though and they are a few of my favorites from the trip!

After shopping for hours and going to some great stores, my mom's favorite was Charming Charlies (a little jewelry store that is so cute!!), we met up with my friend from middle school and his girlfriend. It was so fun to see Tray and hear what they have been up to since I moved away.

After went spent time at the Galleria, we headed to Toyota Center for my cousin's graduation, which was the whole reason we went to Houston in the first place haha! It was a great graduation but it was really bizarre that you could buy popcorn and pretzels at the concession stands, what the heck. And, oh my goodness, some of the names were beyond funky. When you have more every vowel in your name, some of them repeating a lot, something is wrong! :)

After the graduation, we went to our old neighborhood, Sienna Plantation, and got closure on the reason we left (my dad left us and we moved to ABQ shortly after). It was so cool to be back and we even stayed with some old friends, the Parlantes, so it was a blast to tell stories and see what has changed over the last 6 years.

This was our old house :)

Then came my favorite part of the trip, THE ASTROS GAME AT MINUTE MAID PARK!!!! :D It was such an incredible game. It started off bad with a Cincinnati lead of 8 to 2 in the 2nd inning. But then the 4th inning was a turn around!! The Astros pulled ahead 9-8 and even though they ended up losing 12-9, it was an INCREDIBLE game! :) And it was so fun to see them back at Minute Maid.

It was such a great trip and I am exhausted from the early early flight we took to get back home! So goodnight, y'all and  I will give you an update on how the trip to San Antonio goes this weekend :)


TEXAS FOREVER! :) How I wish I could go back.
