This has been one whirlwind of a week, but most of our weeks are like that. Amanda is in her second year of doctorate work, so this week was the infamous week in Ft. Worth, Texas for classes. The fun part was that Chris got to come along and keep me company when class was over. He has several friends in the Metroplex, so he stayed pretty busy during the day...visiting friends, moving furniture in 106 degree weather, and then waiting for me to get out of class. Since our vacation was technically the first two weeks in January for our Honeymoon to Hawaii, we considered this a sort of vacation week...minus the classes, schoolwork in the evenings, and the mental brain exhaustion at the end of the day. (Side Note: Hawaii was beautiful, but be careful NOT to spend all your vacation time the first month of the year! Makes for a very long year :) ) Anyways...it was good to be around friends this week, and have the challenge that comes along with classes.
We also had a wedding in family. Cari Ritchie (Chris' cousin) was married this evening to a great guy named Jake. We had a blast hanging out with the Walker/Ritchie bunch and it was just good to be together. It's crazy that we live only 45 minutes down the road, and we still do not get to see them. His family is a pretty big family, and they are quite precious.
Blessings to Cari and Jake as they begin new life together...you are in for the ride of your life! Enjoy every moment!!!
