Seattle and Dallas

As you all have figured out by now that we've been traveling A LOT this fall but we wouldn't have it any other way!  Fall brings lots of football, friends, and traveling for us especially with Lee's job.

Last weekend Lee headed to Seattle on the annual U of A donor trip to see the Wildcats play against the University of Washington Huskies -- which the Cats lost in the final 2 minutes.  What a heartbreaker!  Here are a few pictures from Lee's trip.

This is the boat Lee and the donors took to the stadium!

The stadium is right on the water.

While Lee was in Seattle, I flew back to Dallas to spend a weekend with my family.  I am so grateful for the time I am able to spend with my family, and I love them so much.

My trip to Dallas was pretty restful compared to most of my trips back to the "Big D."  I wish the weather had been nicer but it was great to see rain and experience the cool front while it lasted.  Those are two things Arizona doesn't have very much of!

I flew in Friday night and mom, dad, and I immediately went to Mi Cocina (my favorite tex-mex restaurant) for dinner.  Oh how I miss tex-mex and wish I could share it with all of our AZ friends!

On Saturday we woke up early and went to see my aunt's new house and shopping for a little while.  After that mom and I went to Panera Bread for a late lunch/early dinner and then we watched a movie at the house. 

Sunday was a pretty full day too!  We went to early service at church and then met my dad's side of the family for lunch at Pappadeaux.  After lunch we all gathered at my grandfather's gravesite.  I can't believe it has been a year since Papa has gone home to be with Jesus.  I can just picture him playing golf with Jesus right now and that makes me smile! :)

Monday morning rolled around and mom and I got a mani and pedi from the best nail salon in the world!  It was so relaxing!  We went on to meet Granddaddy, Shirley, and Shirley's daughter, Kim, for lunch to celebrate Shirley's birthday.  Then I headed to the airport to fly back to Tucson.

It will only be two and a half more weeks until my mom, dad, and my grandparents come to Tucson to visit.  I can't wait!!  But first, Lawrence and Mike visit us and then Lee's parents come the following weekend.
