The highlight of this week was a visit from my Aunt Kathy. She lives in Georgia, but had to come to the metroplex for a conference. And what do you know - her hotel was only about 10 minutes from my apartment! She and her friend Karen came over as soon as they arrived on Friday afternoon, and after introducing them to Brodie and giving them the grand tour, we headed out to the Texas State Fair. They were impressed with how large the fair was, and I even convinced Kathy to ride the ferris wheel with me, but we all agreed that the fair was a money pit. We had a great time though. On Saturday I took them to experience a more Texan environment - the Ft. Worth Stockyards. We enjoyed a lunch of Riscky's barbeque and then wandered around checking out all the western gifts and apparel and enjoying the fun atmosphere. The fact that it was a gorgeous day made it even better. That night my cousin Colton (Kathy's son) drove in from Lubbock, so we just hung out, visited, and watched Bama drown the Florida Gators. And I even got to meet them all for lunch on Sunday before Colton headed back out west and Kathy had to attend meetings at the conference. It was so good to see my aunt and cousin again and to show them around my home. But seeing them made me really ready for the holidays when I get to be around even more family. It won't be long!
