Gina Arrives In Houston


Thursday Gina, Ashley, Parker and Jolee flew into Houston. I made it to the airport to pick them up which normally wouldn’t have been no big deal. However, Houston has been getting a lot of rain. Thursday was no exception. The interstate was not moving so I decided to take a few back streets. Big mistake as the roads were flooded. Had to turn around and sit in traffic. I arrived at the airport just as they were walking out with their suitcases.

 Jolee is becoming the frequent flyer. She received her second set of wings. Gina said, she does very well in the plane. She must since all the pictures I see of her on the plane show her smiling.

 It was lunchtime so we all went to a really good pizza place and had pizza. After we ate they dropped me off at work since I had an afternoon meeting. Parker and Ashley then went to their hotel and Gina did what all women do to relax, go get a pedicure and manicure. I called Gina after my meeting and she was just finishing at the nail so I told her to come by and pick me up when she was done. We had to make a stop at the grocery store and then it was home. Okay maybe our second home. I call it home since it’s where we spend most of our time. We were both still full from lunch so we just enjoyed happy hour by ourselves. Inside of course since it was still raining. I know out west they are in a drought. However, that is not the case here in Houston. After the drought they had last year they need the water.


Friday morning I went to work for a few hours and then picked Gina up for lunch. I took her to Babin’s, which happens to be her favorite restaurant in Houston. The food was great like always and we probably overate just a little. We then came home and waited for Jolee to arrive. We were babysitting her tonight. Of course, she arrived just when another thunderstorm was rolling through. I opened the awning for her when she arrived but even with that she got wet. Alright she didn’t get that wet. However, Ashley got wet. They left to go out to eat after the storm passed and I got to hold and rock Jolee. I also got to play with her a little too. She sure is growing fast.

Shane and Nicole took a short vacation last weekend to Las Vegas and here is a picture she sent to me.

 Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
