After my last summer school class finished, Jeff and I packed up the car and began the long drive out to Texas. The drive out was, technically, my first time in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana - but since I slept through all of Mississippi, I don't really count it as a place I've been to. We spent two wonderful weeks with his family there - swimming, eating, and just enjoying being around each other. I got to spend lots of time with my adorable nieces and nephews - we got to run around, make whirlpools in the pool, paint rocks, and build wooden airplanes together. We were sad to leave, especially since I was not at all ready to go back to school. On the way back, we got to stop in a beautiful suburb of Nashville to stay the night with some of my extended family, whom I haven't seen since their wedding nearly 11 years ago. It was a great visit, albeit too short, and I loved meeting their six children. Here are some pictures from our trip:
