Since I came home from Texas a month ago tomorrow, I figured it's time to wrap up my adventures in Texas. Thankfully, the rest of my time there was much calmer than the first part. Sunday morning was my first experience at their new church. It's a pretty small church and you feel like you are walking into the past when you walk into the doors. Everyone was extremely friendly (well that was just about everywhere we went really). I really enjoyed the morning service, which was a nice surprise because I didn't know quite what to expect.
Their New Church
That afternoon we relaxed a bit. We had been working so hard for a couple of weeks and we all needed the rest. At this new church every 5th Sunday of the month the church has their Sunday evening service (yes they still have Sunday evening services) at the lake. One of the couples in the church owns a house on the lake and they have their service there and have a potluck after. It was really beautiful and very relaxing to sit around by the lake. Some went fishing and others just sat around and talked. All in all a very nice evening.
Isn't this house incredible?

Monday the three of us got up and went to the house to see how much unpacking we could possibly get done. It seemed pretty overwhelming at first. However, by the end of the day the end was in sight. We got very close to finishing up and my parents were able to finish things up on their own in a matter of days. We did, however, end up spending the whole time I was in Texas at my uncle's house. My parents didn't spend their first night in their new home until I already left.
Tuesday was a difficult day. Actually, I tear up just thinking about it. My flight left around 3:00 and we had a three hour drive to Houston to get me there. So we made sure to leave the house early enough so that we had plenty of time. We got to the airport and said our goodbyes at the curb. That was really hard on all of us. I really didn't want to go. Honestly, if it weren't for J.R. I probably wouldn't have.
I then had to wait at the airport for a couple of hours which thankfully didn't seem to long. I had a short layover in Phoenix where I didn't even change planes just got off and right back on. Both flights were packed so I was uncomfortable most of the trip. Oh well. Then I finally made it home to find J.R. there with these.
(And a sparkly clean house to boot.) I love that man. He knows how to take care of me, that is for sure.
