Carla and Nik were both there to greet me. I think we were both really excited. I got the grand tour of thier beautiful home and church. We then cooked (ok, they cooked) my first homecooked meal since I had left home. Wow! It was really nice. Then we rushed off to the baby shower. For pictures, please see my sister's blog which I am sure you all have already seen. They received so many wonderful things. I met so many nice people who just adore them.
After the shower, we went home and reopened everything with Nik. I didn't think I would ever see my sister stay up that late!!!!!
I woke the next morning with an excrutiating headache. Sad, because this was the only day I got to spend with my sister. But luckily it eased pretty quickly. Yeah!!!! We headed out to spend a wonderful day together. Here is a picture of my beautiful "glowing" sister and my nephew that you can't see yet.
I had greek food for the first time ever. It was good. I agree with my sister.....I like Feta cheese on my salad. I liked the meat and was sad that the chicken was a little dry that day. I had ordered a sampler so I could sample a little of it all. Ha Ha! Humus was actually good. I didn't think I would like it but luckily Nik let me try his. I think Carla offered me his plate technically before he agreed but he seemed fine with it. (That makes me giggle). I really loved the gyro sauce they serve. Anyway, I could go on and on.....I liked it!!!!
After a little shopping, I took a short nap and had the craziest dream. I actually woke up sea sick from these dolphins spinning the ship I lived on round and round. So, I still haven't figured out if the greek food or all the headache medicine I had taken that day was responsible for that dream. I am just glad Carla woke me before it got any worse.
I did learn all about the BEST TEA ever!!!!!! (That makes me GIGGLE even more!) No, just kidding. But I do have to give it up to Busch's Chicken (I think that's what it was called). They have good tea and GREAT happy hours. I helped Carla and Nik prepare for thier rumage sale that night.
On Saturday after taking my time that morning, I left Temple, TX. Granted, I left the wrong direction. After ending up in Fort Worth, I started on the right way and finally made it home about 9:30 that night.
Overall, I had a great time. I really needed that vacation. I love my family so much and enjoy every time I get to see them (even it is for only an hour sometimes)!!!!
