Texas Trip-September 2013

I knew that I missed Texas,but I didn't realize how much until I went back and had such a good time. It still is my home after being away for so long.  I went from Wednesday to Sunday.  I flew into Dallas and spent the first day catching up with my best friends and family. Thursday,Friday, and Saturday were spent in college station celebrating Allie, Saturday we came back to Dallas to enjoy a little more time at home and then Sunday it was already for me to head back to Matt.

Wednesday: Dos charros, Babes, Zumba, Caiti, Donovan 
Thursday: Chick fil a, Buccee's, LUKE,Tucker,Chars
Friday: Fun run,lunch with Tuck, Whataburger, Ring day
Saturday: Back to Dallas, Cheddars and Braums
Sunday: Back to Mass

As you can see Texas has really good food. This trip really was about the 3F's family, friends, and food.

So excited to see my bear cat

Allie's Ring Day

I just got back from Texas and it was a great trip! It want by way too fast, and I didn't want to leave. The main reason I went down there was to see Allie get her college ring from Texas A&M. It's a BIG deal to get your aggie ring and Allie said she would rather have people come for her ring dunk then her graduation.

I flew down on Wednesday morning into Dallas and then headed down to College Station on Thursday. She didn't get her ring until Friday,so Thursday was a day to just spend with family and I got to MEET MY NEPHEW LUKE!!

On Friday we headed up to campus to get her ring. It is beautiful! We took some shots on campus. Then we headed home to get ready for the ring dunk. A ring dunk is normally a pitcher full of beer that has your ring in it.You then try to chug it down as fast as you can to get your ring in your mouth. Well since we are LDS, Allie decided to do a pitcher of gatoraide. It was a really fun event and I'm glad I was able to fly in to celebrate with her. Now the pictures!
Just got the ring!
