3 Grueling ... 4 Glorious

Hi Friends,

I've been MIA from blogville for over a week

I took a little vacation with my son

(Much Needed)

And we are home now

So it will be a week of catching up

Very early Saturday morning 3/14

We packed up my car and headed south/west

For a 2 day grueling drive to Texas

 

We made good time the first day

Making it, not only to, but through New Mexico

 

And made it to Texas as well

It was 11 long hours of driving 

But made the next day about 7 hours

So it was worth the push

Coming home I got the idea to power through

And drive the entire 1058 miles in one day

We left Waco at 5:05 am and arrived in my driveway at 10:05 pm

Exactly 17 hours

YES - I'm still tired!!

But my feet aren't swollen today :)

 

They say everything is bigger in Texas

Well, I don't know about everything

But they surely do fly some LARGE Flags

I loved seeing them flying so boldly above many businesses

 

Over the next week I will share more about Why we went to Texas

But today I'll just share a few treasures I returned home with

The barn wood sign above was gifted to me

I LOVE IT!!!!

Purchased from Spice Village

Oh my goodness, if you ever make it to Waco

You must find Spice ... You will Love it!!!

 

When I saw this gorgeous christening gown with bonnet

For only $10, I just Had to purchase it

I think I will display it in my bedroom

I absolutely Love the beautiful lace and islet work

 

Found myself a vintage rolling pin with red handles

And, these bamboo utensils that I really needed

 

Found this cute little candle holder/birdhouse

In a vintage mall in New Mexico

 

Had a beautiful dinner sitting by the river

Absolutely wonderful evening

If you follow me on Instagram

You can see some of the fun photos I shared during our trip

Health Update

Before I left on my trip

I got a call about my lab work

We finally have a diagnosis regarding all of my pain and inflammation

I have Viral Hepatitis

I was permitted to go on trip

Although the gruelingly long 17 hour drive home

Was probably Not the smartest thing I've ever done

Anyway, some life long changes need to be made

In the weeks ahead

I'll have lab work done again this coming week

I actually did rather well on my trip

Regarding my eating

I did NOT gain any weight at all

So Excited about that!!!

So today, I'm back on program

And hoping to continue my weight loss journey

As well as taking better care of myself

Thank you for stopping by

I'll share more over the next week

About The Glorious part of my Trip to Waco, Texas

Blessings to all!!!
