Celebration and Goodbyes

~Sunday (December 1~

Last Sunday, our family celebrated a special milestone: living in Texas for one year! In some ways, the past year has flown by, and in others, it feels like we’ve lived in Texas forever! This has truly been one of the most blessed moves we’ve ever experienced. We could not be more thankful for all that God has done in our lives this past year!

Of course, we celebrated by starting our morning off with our church family. J We brought our grandparents to church with us, and afterwards, we went out to celebrate! We took them out to a restaurant that opened not long ago. It’s an Italian place, known for its wood-fired pizza. We had been there once before, and were excited about returning!

We were *starving* and knew it would be awhile before our entrees arrived. So Daddy made the wise move of ordering appetizers for us. J We enjoyed delicious pizza rolls (pictured above) and some *amazing* mussels!

Our group at the table. The atmosphere was delightful; the restaurant was decked out for Christmas, and we were seated at a table in front of the fireplace. J

Finally our lunches came! It was well worth the wait; I think we love this restaurant even more! Roma and I shared the Caprese pizza pictured above. It was delicious!

For dessert, some of us shared the s’more pizza. This is honestly one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten!

We had to split in different directions and run some errands after we finished our lunch. We got home and relaxed for a little bit, and then Dad and I took a friend down to Dallas to visit his Mom who is in the hospital there. The rest of the family relaxed at home while our grandparents started packing up their things.

~Monday (December 2)~

Monday was the sad day that my Abuela and Abuelo left. L Our visit with them flew by so fast! We left right after lunch to drive them to the hotel near the airport (they had a really early flight the following morning.) Thankfully, saying goodbye wasn’t as difficult because we know we’re going to see them soon!!
