The Busy Girl's Blog: The Busy Girl heads to Texas!

Texas has been a world-wind adventure for this Busy Girl!

Houston Rodeo!

Wagon in Hobby airport!

So far I have met great conservatives, have prayed with 2 people, and had someone make me lunch! I could stay here forever.

I love Conservatives in Trucks!

Since Day One I have been terribly busy!

Day Two was Valentine’s Day. I woke up to a midnight call from my love, the Urban Farmer. He is absolutely positively the best! And although we weren’t together on Valentine's Day, it was nice that we were able to still talk.

Because check out for my hotel was at 11, I left the hotel and went searching in town to set up and work. Well there was NO Starbuck’s or Panera’s in sight! Therefore I ended up at a McDonald’s.

After taking a few bites of my burger I realized how bad I was and have been treating my body. At that moment in this small McDonalds at the end-of-the-world I have solemnly sworn of McDonald’s for the rest of my life. Now this may be a drastic measure by this once a week closet McDonald’s eater but I swear I can no longer EXPECT to fit in a bikini when I gobbling down HUGE cheeseburgers!

In this moment, I realized that I need to start loving myself and taking better care of myself. This means NO McDonald’s anymore. Well except for Sweet Tea!

After my meeting in small town Texas I had to haul butt down to Dallas Lovefield airport in 2 hours to make it to my flight -- I had a 2 hour and 20 minute drive.

Luckily, I made it to the airport and to my flight on time.

I landed in Houston and had plans to go play Trampoline Dodgeball and then head out for some Mexican.

Unfortunately, I got lost in Houston. It took me close to an hour to get to my hotel even with the help of my cousin, Amanda!

But by the time I was dressed and ready to go Trampoline Dodgeball had been canceled. Therefore the drinking started earlier.

Amanda was the best substitute Valentine’s Date EVER! I miss her so much and need to visit more! We went to a Mexican restaurant and had a Fajita FEAST! It was amazingly delicious! And the margaritas were even better!

Valentine’s Day was a long day! But it was definitely a great day.

The next day, I started my day in Houston and then headed over to Beaumont. Beaumont, TX is probably the first big city you reach when you come in to Texas on I-10 from Louisiana. Beaumont is actually home to my Daddy. He grew-up in Nederland and his parents lived there until they died. So it was a brief trip down memory lane.

I got in and out of Beaumont and straight to Hobby airport to head to Midland-Odessa! My FAVORITE part about visiting Texas is eating at Pappasitos! It is a great Texas chain Mexican Restaurant that is a must-see for my family. Luckily, I got some in the Hobby Airport! It was DELICIOUS!

Mmm Fajitas!

My Pappasitos meal!

I made it to Midland pretty late and passed out pretty early.

Today, I was up at the crack of dawn for my 3 hour drive! I ended up in a town that loves sheep. No seriously there were sheep EVERYWHERE! It was kind of cool.

Sheep!

More Sheep!

I ended my day with a 4 hour drive to my hotel and some yummy food.

So four days in Texas and I have been in 5 airports! 3 more tomorrow and I will be on my way home! I have very much enjoyed my time here except the fact that all it has done is RAIN! I know they need it but I was looking for some sunshine when I was down in Texas!

My Mom is in town this weekend so I am so excited to hang out with my best friend all weekend!
