Back in the saddle…almost

Well folks, our guest blogger has officially handed the reins back to yours truly. He was great, wasn’t he? I’ll have to do that more often.

We are settling back into “the Texas way” and the assimilation is nearly complete. Burgers upon arrival at JFK airport, Chuy’s for lunch today and a happy hour Sonic run this afternoon. Yes, we’re almost 100%. Except for those piles of laundry sitting on the floor.

France was more than we hoped for and better than we dreamed. This week, we’ll give you a glimpse of that amazing week abroad. I would be quite remiss without thanking seven very special people: Aunt Jefiner (as John Paul says), Uncle Cory, Granny, Uncle Daniel, Aunt Amanda, Nana and Papa. I raise a glass to each of you. You gave us the best present ever – a week alone to enjoy one another’s company, eat some hot meals, hold hands and fall in love all over again. Thank you, Merci, Grazie. We love each and every one of you for the week you gave us. I don’t know that you’ll ever understand just how big our hearts of gratitude are for that gift.

So, tune in to tomorrow as we share crazy flight stories, driving a manual with an Brit navigation system named “Jane”, our chance meeting with a very special priest and a night on the Mont.
