Allie's Wedding- Part 1

Matt and I just got back from our trip to Texas. It was a fantastic trip filled with lots of great memories! We were there for 10 days, so I'm going to do 3 blog posts about the trip. Up first are the days leading up to the wedding. We got in on Saturday and our flight was delayed for an hour,because of some computer issue, it was so dumb! Once we were on our way we had a great time. Saturday was spent catching up with my family and seeing my great aunt and uncle who were in town for the wedding. Sunday we went to church and it was so great being back in my home ward. I love being back in that ward, it really does feel like coming home. After church we took advantage of the sun and laid out by the pool. The weather this trip was in the 70s, so it was pretty perfect except it was a little chilly to go swimming. My aunt who lives in Florida kept telling Matt and I that we needed to get some color because we were so white!

On Monday we woke up and went on a run/ walk with my mom and Oma at a local park. It was so nice to be able to get some exercise and just enjoy each other's company. After the park we headed over to Whataburger- Matt's most go to place whenever in Texas. A few hours after the park my sister got into town with my littlest nephew Luke. She wasn't planning on coming,but after skyping the night before she couldn't stand to not be apart of all the fun happening in Dallas. My nephew Charlie was sad to not get to come,but he was told that it was a "women's week" and seemed to accept it. All the girls went shopping and afterwards, Allie Matt and I went to meet up with Trevor at Top Golf. I had never been before, so I was really excited to see what it was all about. It is a glorified driving range, where the golf balls have chips inside of them,so when you hit them towards different goals, a computer can read your ball and give you a score. I am terrible at golf! It was really nice for Matt to get to know Trevor more and to escape some of the wedding prep. We played for an hour and then Matt and I headed over to Jessi's house so I could get my hair cut by my cousin Sam.  While Sam was trimming my hair, our husbands and Jessi  went and got us dinner. One thing we really miss about Texas is all the great Mexican food. Jessi has two really good places by her house, a street taco place and a pupusa place. Both were fantastic! We also shared a delicious horchata. Yum!

Tuesday was chill day. We started the day by going to the temple to do some initiatories for some of Matt's family members. I love the Dallas Temple,so I'm thankful we were able to go this trip. After the temple, Matt dropped my off with my sisters and mom,so we could all get bra fitted. I was hoping since I lost weight I would go down a few sizes,but that wasn't the case I did go down a cup size and got a new bra, so that was good.  Rest of the day was spent swimming with Allie and getting pedicures.  I also went on a run with Allie and Breanne and it was so nice to be able to keep up with them! Breanne and I almost run the same pace,so that was a nice non scale victory!
Wednesday we had a nice lunch with all the Miller relatives that were in town for the wedding at Cheddars. That night we had a bridal shower for Allie. Her friend/bridesmaid Kelsey threw the party and it was perfection! It was so cute and  everyone had a great time!
