{Quick trip to Dallas from Houston}

 On Saturday I stole my mom's van, kidnapped my baby brother and drove to Dallas for the day. It was great to be able to chat with Scott about everything that's gone down in the last 2 years. I've missed that kid like crazy.

We met some friends to spend the morning at the arboretum - one of my favorite places in Dallas, especially in the fall!

These sweet friends reunited at last!

Doesn't this place look like a dream? I love it.

So fun to catch up with dear friends. I miss them.

Hi babies!

Is this not the funniest picture you've ever seen? I feel bad for laughing  at this. Poor little guy tried to climb over those pumpkins and it didn't quite go as planned. Too funny.

 Also glad Scott could come along and be Mr. Photographer.

After the arboretum we stopped at Torchy's Tacos for lunch - another favorite Dallas spot. Got my Baja Shrimp taco and chips and guac and we exceptionally happy.

After lunch we drove around for a while and visited some happy places.

We stopped by Gecko Hardware which was just around the corner from our old house. We've been going there since the place first opened. It might seem a little weird to visit your favorite store but we love that place, and we love the people behind it. We were excited to visit with our favorite chickens and favorite people.

We also stopped by our neighbors house and was able to visit with her for a bit which was nice.

We drove by our old house and creepily took pictures out the window. It looks good! The garden is not as well kept, but it was still all there, and my rose bushes were still blooming. I miss that house.

Later that afternoon we went to the park to meet up with some friends to catch up and let our kids play together!

After the park date I was able to swing by a couple friends' house that I couldn't make it. I am blessed with wonderful friends.

I'm so glad that during our Houston visit we were able to go to Dallas and visit our friends there as well!

Great trip - fun times in Houston, fun times during Halloween, and fun times in Dallas!
