Thanks to the encouragement and love of friends and family, Simon and I recently took the plunge and traveled to Texas BY OURSELVES! Taking a deep breath, we walked through security, found our correct terminals and gates, (That was an adventure!) rummaged through my enormous suitcase to get it down to 50 pounds, met fellow passengers, flew across the country, exited the airplane, shuffled among many others who were also trying to identify their baggage, and finally met our dear friends and family with many hugs and smiles!
Our adventure together enabled Simon and I to enjoy some special time together. Simon was a perfect gentleman and protector as he guided us safely through Dallas airport.
After a safe flight to San Antonio, I had the pleasure of staying eight whole days with the Huber family!
Their energy and enthusiasm for life, their joy, and love for each other and their Saviour was wonderful. I enjoyed the fellowship of my precious sisters; Nikkae, Katherine, Kristalyn, and Kaylianna so much that I wasn't relishing the thought of coming home! :-) Thankfully, we made many many treasured memories that will fill my heart until we meet again.
Life was busy for the Huber family that week, and they were so gracious to let me be part of their family for a while. Brandon, Anthony, and Jonathon are in the heat of football season, so I was able to watch Brandon's first game of the season, (his team ended in victory!) and my first game ever on Saturday!
Some of the other things that filled the week were card-making, story-telling, dancing, sewing, many hours of chatting, (one of the best ways to spend time. ;-) laughing, cooking together, enjoying the delights of chocolate, giggling at hilarous video advertisments and clips, trying to get those last few obstinate chickens in their coop while doing chores, (You can look pretty mean with that stick in your hand Nikkae. Ha!) running errands with Nikkae, and watching some great movies! Including many viewings of North and South; a lovely film.
Thank-you so much for the very special week Hubers! God bless you.

Here are just a few photos of Brandon's football game on Saturday. Christian cheered his brother on (Number 3) with all the rest of us! Go Patriots!
Please check back soon for Simon's side of the trip. I'm trying to persuade him to write about it himself, so hopefully it will be up before long.
