Our trip up to Burk was INSANE! We left SA at 4pm. It's usually about a 6 hour drive (maybe a little longer because we take the toll road around Austin/Round Rock). I think everyone thought this weekend was Thanksgiving weekend! EVERYONE was on the road!!! It took us 7 hours to get to Burk. It was very annoying to me! Anyways... we made it to Burk late that night. Jason and Jenn and the kiddos were all there so we got to see them Saturday morning before they headed back home. (Jason and my parents were the only ones still awake for us to see when we got in Friday night).
I had my first official Scentsy party. Jenn is so gifted at stuff like this. It may be easy to those of you who are good at it... but if you're not, it's a challenge and I don't even have an "idea" of how to set it all up good! So, Jenn set up my party for me! THANK YOU JENN!
Nanny and A.O. came into town for the day. Here are Julia and Johnathan giving them hugs before they left.
Mom, dad, Steve and I went and had lunch at Gene's Tasty Burger (Mmmmmmmm!!!) in Wichita Falls- (good ol' greasy burgers!!!). After that we went to my aunt and uncle's house so I could see my cousin, Tony Marie, who I haven't seen since my wedding day 7 years ago! She has been through a lot in her life and I was soooooo thrilled to see her! As soon as she came in the door we hugged and cried together! I love her dearly and am proud of the lady she is becoming! Anyways... we hung out over there for a bit and then headed home for some "nap/relaxation" time before time to watch the fireworks.
We headed to Sheppard Air Force Base to watch the fireworks. It brought back such fun memories! We used to go out there all the time when I was a kid. Everyone parks along the highway and watches the fireworks on the base! Below are some pics of the fun evening!
Here a family parked in front of us and thought it was fun to pop their own fireworks! This one (and quite a few others) they set off on the grass RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR CAR! Got on my nerves needless to say... but thankfully the smoke was blowing away from us or I would have had to have a word with them! :o)
Here's dad checking out what his view will be like from the back of the car. As you can see, there are no cars on the road yet... we got there like an hour and a half early! (didn't realize it though!)

And... the show (sorry... most of my pics turned out blurry)
Steve watching from the sunroof- it was quite windy and chilly (believe it or not) so we didn't get out of the car
Me sitting in the window of the car (a little wind blown)
Sunday we went to church and then had some pizza for lunch. We headed back to SA on Sunday evening so we could "recover" from the trip on Monday. It was a great weekend! Great to go to my hometown and great to see family!!
