We went to Houston

For the 1st time ever, we went to visit Houston, TX. We went to see my old roommate Karen and her new family. We also went to help her decorate and organize her beautiful new house. She lives in a place called Spring just outside Houston. The homes were lovely and quite large in that part of Texas, but isn't everthing bigger in Texas!! Her husband is a very nice guy and the step children are so sweet. They love her and fact that she is now their mom.

Karen and Flint

Matt, Eden and Dane

When we arrived Karen had our room set up like a hotel suite complete with Martenellis, chocolate cupcakes, candles and a card. It was our 27th anniversary and she had been a bridesmaid so it was fun to celebrate with all of us together again.

We went to the Houston temple. The granite on the outside and the peaks at the top reminded me of the Salt Lake Temple. After the temple, they took us out to dinner.

1st dinner in the new dining room-Mr. Dane, Uncle Bob and Miss Eden


and the big dawg, Mr. Matt stretching out after mom's delicious chimis!!


Mr. Dane took a strong liking to "Uncle Bob". It was really cute and followed him around. I even found Bob laying on Dane's bed reading a bedtime story one night!


We worked our tails off but I think her home is ready for the holidays!

Gwen,

This is Eden. I really liked the part where you put about the temple and how you came to visit. And, I really thought it was funny when you were talking about Dane following "Uncle Bob" around everywhere. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
