Several things to look forward to

There are several things that I'm looking forward to during my trip home:



~ Celebrating my mom's 50th birthday!

~ Seeing all of my family over the next 6 weeks.

~ Admiring how much my two nephews and niece have grown.
~ Shopping: I can't wait to shop on Black Friday. It's a tradition that I have been doing with my mom since I was a littler girl. My cousin Taylor has joined us on and off throughout the years and I'm hoping she will be able to make it this year. Not to mention, that there are so many more options and places to go in Houston.

~ Getting my trimmed and styled by my sister. She is the only one I trust with my hair and my favorite part is the shampoo.

~ Bagel Cafe! It's so yummy and I can't wait to have my everything bagel toasted with butter and my decaf coffee.

~ Thanksgiving & Christmas with our families. These two tie for my second favorite holidays. The first being the 4th of July of course.

~ Visiting some of my favorite eating spots (not that I will be able to make it to all of them): Chuy's, Hasta La Pasta, El Jarrito, Atami's, Whataburger, Freebirds and Kolache Factory (they don't have kolaches in California).

~ Hopefully getting to see as many friends as possible. There are some friends that I haven't seen since High School and it's been way too long.

~ Marissa's trip to Houston. My friend Marissa, is flying in to visit us over her birthday weekend. It will be her first trip to Houston and I can't wait to show her all of my favorite spots, especially with everything decorated for Christmas.

~ Cuddling with my puppies Holly & Cassie that live with my parents. Holly is old and not doing so well, so this could be my last visit with her.

~ Watching Mason's face every time he is around Christmas decor. We have been to some of the stores in Bakersfield that have the decorations already up and the boy goes crazy with excitement. I love it!
