Congartulations to Ben and Andrea - Just Married!

We went to Dallas on Feb. 27th to see my cousin Ben get married to his fiancee, Andrea. It was a beautiful wedding... though I didn't get too many pictures. Obviously, I was too busy enjoying myself to do a good job at the picture taking! We all had a ball at the reception. Chris and I managed to dance together many many times which is what I love to do the most!

Emily befriended the lovely flower girl, McKenna. They danced and played all night!

I did manage to get this great shot of my cousin Joe dancing with my Grandma. She looks so happy here!

We were lucky to stay with my cousin Tony and get in a good visit with him. After mass on Sunday, we headed home. The drive home always seems very long... but we did find a great highway rest area to stop at. It had a park, a museum, and a nature trail. Score! So the kids played, we took a nice walk, and learned a bit about Sam Houston, cotton plantations, and more! Chris will remind me what I forgot so I can edit this later. ;-) I will also add a better picture of Andrea and Ben when I get one.

And before I forget, we listened to the entire audio recording of God's Troubador, The Story of St. Francis of Assisi by Sophie Jewett on the way up. It was an awesome story! Now how about that for some Lenten reading!
