LB and K take Houston by storm...

Happy Tuesday!  For right now, I'm relishing the fact that I am still wearing my pajamas at 10 a.m.  I have some errands I want to run later today, and I'd love to go to Zumba at 4:30 p.m., but for the moment I am enjoying that there is NOTHING I HAVE to do.  Just things I want to :)  Woot!  

Speaking of things I want(ed) to do... yesterday I went to Dance Jam.  The dance was a little bit harder than the last one, but it is such a good workout.  I sweated so much... can't wait for next week!  I'm hoping that Dance Jam plus Zumba will be good cross-training for my half marathon. I do need to start running though... hmmm. 

At Wild West

Anyways, I wanted to blog about my little sister's Texas experience!  I know that I had a great time, and I think she did too.  We went to Space Center Houston first, which was pretty cool.  I kept telling her how big the Saturn V rocket was, but when we walked into the building in which it is housed, she just said, "Whoa."  

That same night we went country dancing with some of my friends from Bible Study!  It was a blast... Laura and I rocked the dresses with boots. :)  We stopped at a coffee shop on the way home and didn't get back to my apartment until after 3 a.m.  You know it's a good night when... haha

Saturday was just a relaxing day. We drove down to Galveston Beach, which is only about forty minutes from my apartment. What a remarkable change from when I first saw Galveston in January... the beaches were packed with families and lots and lots of swimmers.

 That night we went to Rudy's (a BBQ place) for dinner before hitting the mall.  Laura didn't buy anything, but I splurged (kind of) on a full-price lace top from Charlotte Russe. Okay, it was only $15, and I can wear it a lot...

Go Astros! On Sunday, Laura and I drove into downtown Houston for the Astros game in Minute Maid Park.  Sadly, they lost to the Brewers, but it was an exciting game.  I thought I was going to have to force Laura to try Blue Bell Ice Cream, but she willingly tried Cookies and Cream in a waffle cone.  I had Red Velvet Cake ice cream... om nom nom.

Laura and I at the game.  Her outfit was so cute and summery!

 After the game, we went back to Seabrook and rented Act of Valor.  It was a good movie, but it made me cry.  Then we hit the Kemah Boardwalk.  We went to the candy shop, and I bought Laura some rock candy... her favorite!  We rode one ride, the swinging ship, and had a blast!

I was definitely sad to see her go.  I miss her already!  But she is starting college soon, so she has that to look forward to, and more and more of my friends are arriving in Houston.  I am so happy that my family is so close!  So very blessed...

Have a great Tuesday!
