texas vacation and wedding week!

We got to go back to Dallas a couple weeks ago to see my sister, Sarah, get married! Matt took the whole week off and we enjoyed every minute of our time there, helping with wedding preparations and visiting with people that mean so much to us! It was a much-needed time of relaxation and re-connecting with sweet friends. Matt got to hang out a lot with three of his best friends from med school - Josh, Nathan, and Ryan - who were also on vacation and in Dallas that week. It was such a blessing that it worked out that way!

We got to spend time with so many other friends, including Haley and Ryan, the Langston's, the Gray's, Emily Brown, and Sarah Brundrett... and we found time to go to Gloria's four times that week for our fajita/margarita fix. :) I also got to go to my old office and hang out for a while.

(My only regret is that I didn't take enough pictures!)

The weekend before the wedding, I hosted a lingerie shower for Sarah, which was really fun....

We had a fun family dinner at Campisi's with my Mom and Dad, Sarah and Luke, and Kevin and Kelly ... taking advantage of all 8 of us being in the same city!
