This was a great visit and really made me look forward to our trip next summer. I loved the time with my family. I miss them so much. 
It was also a good trip in that I realized how different we are from our two St. Louis families. J and I are not worried about being politically correct and we do value our faith on levels that make us stand out. I used to get upset that our families were not on the same page. This trip I really did learn to let go of that. I love our families so much for just who they are not who I want them to be. If they can not accept who we are then that is on them, but they all seam to love us just the same. I know that is simple and a very long time coming but it was very uplifting. As much as I am tired of living in Houston and long for a new adventure, I am so glad that we have had this time to grow as a family and as individuals. I like who I am and I love who J is.
