This is one of my favorite times in the
year as the weather changes and the light seeps in a bit later. The
past few weeks have been full of fun and insanity. We never seem to
slow down. The good and bad seem to flow together somehow. The
good... Chandra came in town and brought Landry to enjoy time with
us. Chandra, Hayley and I all took her to the Dallas Aquarium. It was
a blast! So good to have my best friend in town. The bad... the same
weekend Ina passed away. She was 86 and lived an amazing life. She
was like my other grandmother in a sense. I flew home and back in two
days. Dad was a pallbearer and Brenda and I sat with the family. To
me Ina was just this inspiration of a force that never stopped and
just changed the world as she went along. She was always kind to our
family. Stephanie and the entire Stewart family is just like family
to me. Dad went to stand by Mom's grave at the gravesite. I have been
out there so many times. It feels very far away in my heart as I do
know she is not there. It's almost surreal to go there because it's a
stone and some flowers. It's just strange to me now. It was all
emotionally exhausting, but I am glad I got to go honor such a
blessed lady.
Last weekend my Dad, Brenda, Steven and
his family all came into town. We took the girls to the Perot Museum
and just had a ball of a day. Ashley, Brenda and I went shopping and
had some girl time. The girls hung on Nick because kids just love
him. Those times are the best times in life to me as we are just all
together laughing and talking. We didn't take enough pictures, that's
for sure. Oops.
Wedding planning is still rolling
along. That would take a few blog posts so for now, that's what I'll
say!
