Fun first weekend in Texas

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:19 pm by Melissa

Jason and I have always had a fun and busy life together. We always make an effort to do something on the weekends with family as often as we can.

We went with the Cains to Aggieland to watch our alma mater play against Texas Tech. Very hot day and third largest crowd in the stadium’s history.

We met at Laurie’s townhouse and had a wonderful lunch courtesy of Jason’s family. Jason’s Mom even made her famous brownies! It was great to see Laurie and Jordan as well. Jordan has just started medical school in Houston so it was nice to see how things were going. Laurie has a wonderfully decorated townhouse, and I really enjoyed hanging out.

My parents, brother David, his wife Edi and my nephew Zachary also joined us for lunch. It was so much fun and great seeing family again. Zachary is such a sweet boy. I’m glad we’re closer so that I can actually attend some of his school events. It’s still a drive, but at least it’s not a flight away.

It’s amazing how much he’s grown. I remember him going to his first few Aggie games as a young baby. He’s so smart.

I won’t mention much about the game since we got outscored, but it was fun being in Aggieland again. You really start to feel your age when you visit your university. My brother is a Class Agent (meaning representing his class) for the Class of ‘88, and his class was being honored at the game. David was on the field, so it was special and wonderful to be there to share that with him. We were sitting on the side of the stadium where he was facing us. We could see Zachary on the sidelines enjoying the fans that are used to cool off the football players.

After the game, we ordered pizzas, and then we headed back to Austin. My parents drove up and visited on Sunday. It was fun showing them around Austin.

Now, it’s back to househunting. I know I will love living in this part of Austin. It is starting to feel like home.
