Weekend happenings

One of the many things that excited me about being back in Katy, was attending the church I grew up in and getting meeting new friends. Instantly we fell in love with our ABF (Adult Bible Fellowship aka Sunday School) Insula. There were so many young couples that were our age and had children around the same age. Every month, we have a ladies night out and a guys night out. This past weekend it was the ladies turn.

For dinner, we went to one of my favorite local Italian restaurants, Hasta La Pasta. The food is always so delicious, but the company was better. I loved getting dressed up, although I was probably the most dressed up wearing a tunic with leggings and a heels.

After dinner, we went to Bethany's house for dessert and games. We seriously had the best desserts and Courtney made a snickers dip from Pinterest that was to die for. We played a game that incorporated pictionary and telephone into one. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. I had tears rolling down my face and will definitely be playing that game again.

This is Nichole and I. Nichole moved to Texas almost a year ago in December and she is from California. Her family lived about an hour and a half from Bakerfsield, so we are very familiar with the city she is from. Our kids adore each other and we have become fast friends.

This is Bethany explaining the sequence of the cards to everyone else. If you ever come to my house for a game night, we will be playing this. Be prepared to laugh!

 

 

Saturday morning, our family has made it a tradition to have breakfast at The Bagel Cafe. Everyone in my family loves this place. I'm so glad to be back in Katy so that I can frequent my favorite eatery more often. Peyton decided to try some of Taylor's bagel and you can tell by her face how much she enjoyed every bite.

The rest of Saturday was spent at the Train Park in Old Katy and watching college football. We discovered how much Peyton loves to swing. This is probably our kids favorite park. We missed Baylor's Homecoming this year, but we were happy to see the Baylor Bears win.

 

 

Sunday was National Orphan and Adoption Day. Our church has an adoption ministry called Tapestry. This year to bring awareness to this special day, the Tapestry ministry asked all families that have been affected by adoption to join them on stage wearing these special shirts.

 

They played Third Day's Children of God song and during the bridge, we walked with our families on stage and sang the song. It was so cool to see all of the families who have been touched by adoption in some way on stage. It was hard not to tear up. I'm so thankful for my family and that I've been adopted into God's family.
