What A Week!

What a busy week! Nothing real interesting...just thought I would share how I drove ALL over Texas in a week's time. :)
I returned from Galveston on Sunday afternoon.
On Monday, we had Tyler's Confirmation and Gabe was his sponsor. The kids did pretty good while we were at the church, considering we were there for 3 hours!! We then had dinner (mexican, of course).
My parents were in town and they invited us (me & the kids) to go to Matagorda with them for a couple of days. The work on the inside of the house is done, but now they are getting a few things done to the outside. A new paint job for the house and garage and new driveway...it doesn't even look like the same house!
So, we left on Tuesday morning. We were there until Thursday morning.
Thursday was a long day. We drove the 2 1/2 hours back to Cypress. I then had to drive to Humble for a close friend's mom's funeral.
My Dad really wanted to drive back to Matagorda because the work on the house wasn't completed yet, so I offered to drive my Mom back home to Limestone.
My Mom, the kids, and I left for Limestone at 6pm Thursday night. We stopped in Bryan to eat dinner and made it to her house after 9pm. Whew! Thank the Lord, it was bedtime!
On Friday, we drove home to unpack, wash some laundry, and repack because on Saturday, we were leaving again.
This time we were heading to Corpus, but unfortunately not for a good reason. Gabe's Uncle Gabriel had passed away. We had the viewing and Rosary on Sunday and the funeral on Monday morning.
On Tuesday, we headed back home...finally!
Two funerals and three different road trips are enough for one week...let me tell ya! It was so nice to be home and back in my own bed.
