Girls Weekend to Celebrate Mom!

Well it's been an interesting year already and it's um..February 13th! oh my! Let's start out with finding out my dad had a suspicious "mass" in his throat. We had to wait until his biopsy on January 25th before we could exhale but the Lord is gracious and it seems this mass is benign!

My mom had a big birthday on January 24th but since she had to take care of Dad we decided to post-pone the birthday celebration until February.

Since Christmas break, my parents have really felt an overwhelming sense that they should return to Dallas from living in Denver the past 5 years. They have so many wonderful friends here and my brother and I both live here now. They decided to start sending their resumes out and just SEE what would happen.

Within a few weeks of applying for jobs online, my mom got a job and starts later THIS month. Ya you heard me..as in February.

And now Dad has an interview scheduled with a job that would be perfect for him in a couple of weeks. Okay Lord, we hear you. This is where you want them to be.

So, back to my mom's birthday celebration. We had planned a girls weekend in Ft.Worth with my mom and sister before her job offer but when the weekend rolled around it was perfect timing. Sort of a calm before the storm for my mom as she plans a big move.

We started the weekend off with a dinner at our house. My brother joined us for some BBQ and cake and it was such a fun night! 

Friday we headed to Ft.Worth for some shopping and Joe T's for lunch. 

Saturday night we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Reata. YUM!

Saturday we went to brunch at Taverna and the rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing at the Omni Spa. It was so nice of mom to have a birthday so we could pamper OURSELVES! :) ha!

We decided we needed more Mexican food so Mi Cocina did the job for our last night out.

It had been at least 3 years since we did something as just us three girls. It was refreshing. It was fun. It was perfect.

I am so blessed to be apart of this family. 

PS- Shout out to my brother-in-law who watched all three of their kiddos so my sister could come and enjoy this weekend away. You are a wonderful father and husband! It was such a gift!
