REASON #1: I love going HOME to the house I grew up in! My parents have been in the same house since I was two years old! There is nothing like going home!
REASON #2: Seeing FAMILY! I love to see our family! My mom and dad, my grandma, my brother Bill and his wife Nicole, his kids - Connor, Lilly and Caroline and Lynnie and Papa John! I especially love to spend time with my nephew and nieces because I don't get to see them much! The kids spent the night at grandma's a few nights and we had fun! We went to see Bedtime Stories and the kids all slept on the floor in the game room!
REASON #3: I love MEXICAN FOOD!! My favorite would have to be Lupe Tortilla's! I think we usually go the day I arrive and I always go at least 2 or 3 times total! There is nothing like good Mexican Food! YUMMY!

REASON #4: SHOPPING with my mom! My mom works during the week but we always spend some time on the weekend doing some shopping. In fact my mom wears me out and I usually can't keep up with her!
REASON #5: Seeing my GIRLFRIENDS that live down south!! I usually try to see all of my friends while visiting!! Unfortunately over the holidays it was hard to see everyone but I did see a few! One night we went to Cheesecake factory to celebrate Erin's birthday!! We also went to see 7 Pounds after! Did anyone like that show??
Kim Parker and Stacy Kirkham!! My college Roomie Natalie came too!!
Stacy singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It was so funny because they sang so loud in the restaurant and so off key! We were cracking up!
I also went to lunch with my girlfriend's Kristy, Natalie, Lyndol and Judy (Kristy's mom)! Kristy and I have known each other since 5th grade! We used to do gymnastics in the front yard and all sorts of crazy things together! Lyndol, Kristy and I all went to high school together! Those were the days! Lyndol is living in Paris right now and is a very talented artist/photographer/musician... nanny! She does it all!
REASON #6: Getting my nails done! I have been going to the same girl down there for a long time and I always enjoy going back when I am home!
REASON #7: Eating Bluebell ice cream! Need I say more?? Dutch Chocolate is my favorite!
REASON #8: Sleeping in! My mom will usually get Ian up in the morning and my dad will get my kids a bowl of cereal so I get a little extra shut eye! I love it!! I totally catch up on my sleep when I am home!
REASON #9: Cable TV! I know I think we are the only people on the planet without cable tv. When I go home I always catch up on my shows! Iron Chef, Project Runway, and a few others.
REASON #10: Going on fun outings with Jimini, Grandma, Nana and Papa John! There is always so many fun things to do in Houston! This time we enjoyed going to the Aquarium with Nana and PJ. The kids LOVE the shark train ride and enjoyed getting their faces painted! Nana has those pics on her camera! I'll have to post them when she emails them to me! We also went to a fun arcade with my dad! The kids had a great time!
We will enjoy our memories until we go HOME again!! Thanks MOM, DAD, NANA and PJ for making our visit such a great one!!

Glad you had a great time!
Yeah! That's why you need to MOVE BACK! JK- I know you are happy in Utah! It's nice to know that we can see you at least once a year! Love ya!
I loved your top ten list! So much fun you had. I was totally waiting for the pic of Stacy singing happy birthday and you did not disappoint! So fun to see you! I meet so many great people because of you!
Aww...what a flood of TX memories! I think I need to copy and paste this list on to my blog. :) And I agree - The Mexican food (and Blue Bell) back home can NOT be beat! Fun times going back home to Texas.

Love the blue bell! You really just can't beat Texas food--it is the best!
