Sweet Land of Sugar

The month of February is almost over and I have only blogged once this month. My life hasn’t slowed down a bit, in fact it has sped up. With that said, I have been struggling to find time to blog this semester or do much of anything semi-relaxing. Between studying, training, socializing, and leading... I am a tad overwelmed. I still want to remember all of the precious moments and unforgettable memories, so my blogging habits are in desparate need of change. Last weekend, I went to Sugar Land for the day with Kandace Beall. She is from a small town in East Texas with one stop light and we met through MSC FISH. She is one of my very best friends at A&M and I wanted to bring her to my home in Sugar Land. We left Friday morning after classes, and arrived around lunch time. We picked up my baby sister from school and went to my favorite lunch spot, Thai Cottage. Afterwards I introduced her to the infamous tapioca from Teahouse… always a crowd favorite. Or at least my favorite! The weather was rainy and not ideal, but that didn’t slow us down. I showed her around Town Center and the rest of the city. We shopped, laughed, and took bunches of pictures. My favorite part was taking her on a tour of my own house and introducing her to my family. She was able to look through all of my scrapbooks and pictures. This was my first college friend to come home with me, and I am so thankful it was Kandace. One of the reasons we came into town was for my mom’s Cabi Fashion Show. Her best friend, Janet Colborne, sells the Cabi clothing line every season. Kandace and I were models in her little show on Friday night. Even though there was a slim turnout, we still had a great time together. The evening was spent trying on clothes, munching on snacks, and hanging out with my incredible family. I miss them every single day and I feel so blessed to be able to bring my friends from Texas A&M home to meet them. It’s my two favorite things coming together as one- Aggies & Engles. Kandace and I had a rap battle with my crazy father, caught up One Tree Hill episodes, and had an action-packed day in the Land of Sugar. Our adventure was sweet, but certainly too short!
