Our trip to Texas 24 June 2008 at 11:02 am by Jason 202 views

We got back from Texas on Sunday, but I didn’t have a chance to post anything.  The trip was pretty good… the hotel we stayed at was nice (even though there was some confusion when we showed up and had to wait for them to clean a room) and Killeen hasn’t changed much since I visited there 8 years ago (different reason).

Jess got to see her family and we pretty much just sat around and hung out at their house.  Jess helped her dad put together a big porch swing for everyone to sit on, which you can see here (along with Jess and I with our niece, Catie):

Jess, Catie, and I!

She’s pretty cute, ain’t she?  She’s just 5 months old now, and hopefully we get to see more of her in the future (she’s officially a military brat).  Aside from that, nothing much eventful happened… Jess’ mom won’t know the results from her tests for a couple of weeks, so once we know what the docs think we can figure out what to do.  I did, however, get plenty of pictures while I was down there… since we already have one of Jess and I, here is a shot of three generations of the Jones clan:

The Jones clan!

Such a happy looking family!  Hopefully everything goes well with her mom and they can enjoy each other’s company for a long time to come!

Nothing says fun like a last minute emergency trip, right?  Well, we’re off to Texas tonight to see Jessica’s family because her mother is ill again, and while most likely it’s not life-threatening, she is worreid and has requested all family come down and see her as soon as possible.  Luckily I’m feeling better now, and while not 100%, I should be well enough to make this trip without feeling too bad.

It’s a 12 hour trip and I’m going to be driving straight through… fun, eh?  I’ll try and update my blog while I’m down there (bringing my spare wireless router and our laptops), but no promises as I have no idea what everyone’s plans are.  One sad thing is that I used to live just 45 minutes away from where we’re going, and I don’t think I’ll be able to visit (both Jess and I have to be back to work on Monday).  Oh well.  The bright side of the trip is that I’ll get to see my niece, which will be nice, as we’ve yet to be able to see her (she just turned 5 months old a couple days ago).

Fun times… more when I get time!
