The Beginning and End ...

My sister Jenny picked me up from the airport, and we shared some great chopped beef sandwiches and creamed corn from Rudy's ... I was in great need of true Texas Bar-B-Q!!

Then we treated our feet to pedicures before meeting my dad in Briggs.
This was a nice treat! And I felt Avery kick while we were getting pampered!! Exciting!!

One of my best friends came to visit during my first full day at the farm!
She is a true treasure in my life!

I met her son Hudson for the first time ... he's a cutie!!

And last time I saw Anna, she was under a year. That day we spent touring the Fort Worth Zoo ... and Anna is precious!!

And then we had our family reunion; I'll post pictures of the event next ...

So ... I began the trip with friends and ended the trip visiting friends ...

I met Nathan, Sarah Beth, and their son James at Central Market!!

I got to see Sarah Beth before their arrival of their second child ... She's so cute pregnant!!
She's another treasure in my life!!

Before meeting Jessica and Dwight, I hung out one last time with Will and Andres eating
Sno Cones ... a favorite of mine that North Carolina does not embrace ...

Will and me!!

Dwight and Jessica took me to the airport after a nice sparkly drink at a local coffee shop!

It was a great time being home and visiting friends and family ...
And within the day, I'll post about the 2010 Garner Family Reunion!!
