"TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!!!!"

K, so I have the two best sisters in the world! Candace and I got to go to Houston last weekend and spend four AMAZING days with Tricia and Tim. We left the kiddies and the snow for some very much needed sistah time. My absolutely amazing, super supportive husband took work off to stay home with Ele and Phin so I could go. Thanks Budah, you are the BEST! Candace left Ally and Andrew with her sister and brother in law because Jimbo was in Florida for work. Can and I left Thursday morning. We of course had a great flight talking and laughing and gearing up for some fun sister time with Tric. We got there and the weather was good. Over cast, moist and ahhhhh! I LOVE humidity and sea level. Best for the skin and hair! We went out that night and got some dinner and hung out at the house with Tim and "Devil Dog" Picabo. She is HILARIOUS! She is definitely in charge of that household! I love that little stinker and actually miss her!
We of course stayed up super late, well, anything past 10 is super later too me, so me going to bed at 2 am, was EXTREMELY late! Good thing I could sleep in on Friday! It was really nice to not have to get up and feed Phin, but I did wake up a couple of times thinking the morning doves outside cooing were baby boy. So, Friday we woke up and it was still pretty overcast. But, we decided to get ready and head out for lunch and SHOPPING! What we Davis girls do best. Eat, chat, and shop, shop SHOP!!!!! We sat and ate lunch and chatted. We decided to head to the Outlet Mall. Nothing better than cheaper stuff! I love Coach purses and baby, they have a Coach outlet. WAHOO! Well, we started heading that way when it started pouring rain, I mean insane amount of water coming from the sky. So, while Tricia couldn't see at all driving, we decided to just stick around the area by her house. We did a bit of shopping around there and then took a shower in our clothes in the rain storm and headed home. It was so crazy! I have never seen anything like that in my life. I can't imagine what it would of been like to be there for Hurricane Ike, because this was seriously scary enough without the wind!
We decided on Saturday to hang out at the house and wait to see if the storm was going to let up at all. Well, it didn't so, the insane shoppers we are, we decided we didn't give a rats, and headed out! We drove on the access road which is next to the freeway thinking it would be better then the freeway. HOLY CRAP! We were seriously driving in a river! But, come Hell or High water, HEEHEEE, we were getting to the damn outlet mall! We made it, but not without drama. Cars were getting submerged in water and stalling. It was nuts! Once we got to the mall the storm started to let up and we actually saw some sunshine. We didn't care. We had each other and lots and lots of stores to walk through and money to spend! Let's just say, I was NOT disappointed! I got some great stuff and had some serious laughs with my two sistahs! The Texas slogan "Turn around, don't drown" is NOT at all fabricated! CRAZY but beautiful place. I LOVED IT!
The trip of course went way too fast, and I miss Tricia terribly! Sucks we live so far away from each other, but it is nice to get to go and visit such an amazing place. I love my sisters so much and I am so lucky to have them in my life. We laughed so dang hard and talked so much, that I think I have permanent laugh lines! I LOVE you Candace and Tricia! Thanks for the fun and the memories! Can't wait until next time!!!
