Unblogged Bloggable-KMB Lakehouse Weekend Part 1

I have been putting off writing this post for a long time-almost a year actually. I didn't intentionally put it off. It just happened. Over time it has become more purposeful. The memories are very bittersweet. The weekend was amazing! We had the best time, but at the time we had no idea Ana would pass away a few months later. We had so much fun, and I'm so happy we made it happen.

Mandi originally wasn't going to be able to make the trip. We found a crazy good deal that required us to fly in and out of Las Vegas. It made for crazy travel plans, but it was totally worth it. She didn't tell anyone she was coming which made for a really fun surprise. 

We met at my house on Wednesday after work. We had dinner and drove to Vegas. We spent the night at Eleisha and Matt's house. I hadn't seen Eleisha for quite a while so we stayed up late chatting. I was happy our crazy travel plans gave us a chance to catch up.

I got up and did a quick workout outside. It was nice to be outside. We got ready and went to the strip. We went to the M&M factory where it was World M&M day and the Coke factory. We did a taste test of Coke products around the world and laughed and laughed. We were pretty done with Vegas and ready to get on with the rest of the trip.

Everyone else was there when we got there. The Texas Welcoming Committe was there to greet me. They had emoji faces and posters and sang a Texas song as I came down the escalator. Mandi snuck up on Ana and surprised her first and then everyone else. It was the most fun surprise and everyone was so excited. 

We went to Fuzzy's for dinner where there was a big deal about it not being Mexican. I was happy to eat, and they had the best queso. Ana left to pick up Danielle P, and the rest of us went to Krum for a sleepover. We missed meeting Danielle by about 20 minutes, but we were pretty ready to get to bed. We met Babs and got settled in our rooms. Mandi and I had a spider in our room. We threw it in Jenn and Candace's room and laughed with them before actually going to bed.

The lakehouse part of the trip hadn't even started, but we were already having so much fun. Part 2 coming soon.
