The first weekend in August, the Porters joined us for a weekend trip to Abilene to see our friend Tahj get married. We arrived around 5 pm that Friday, just barely in time to tour a couple of new campus buildings before they closed at 6pm. It was mine & Derek's first time back in 10 years since we had graduated. I really enjoyed just strolling around campus, except for the fact that it was SO HOT! I had forgotten how unbelievably hot west Texas is in August. It was over 100 degrees the entire weekend, even at night! Okay, it did cool down to 98 degrees the second night we were there. It was of course very windy, but not a nice cooling breeze. It was a breeze of really hot air hitting you, maybe like being inside a microwave. Well, on with the post...just know it was horiffically hot.
Our first time to see Jacob's ladder.

My FAVORITE spot on campus, the admin building.

The Porters after our amazing steak dinner at Perini's Ranch in Buffalo Gap. Weeks before the trip we figured out exactly how many meals we were going to eat there, and which restaurants would get those cherished limited spaces! It was so hard to choose because they sure do have some good eatin' places in Abilene. However, we knew Perini's was where we were eating dinner Friday night.

Saturday morning, Alicia & I got pedicures and then we all went downtown to stroll through the shops. Then we ate a huge lunch at Joe Allen's BBQ. After that, our good friend Anna joined up with us & we hung out by the pool at the hotel until it was wedding time!
Alicia, Tahj, Anna & me at the wedding. We were all in the drama group Seekers of the Word while at ACU, and it was awesome to all be together again! Didn't Tahj look gorgeous! The only sad part of the weekend was that we had to get back on the road first thing Sunday morning, which meant we didn't get to go to church there. I guess we will have to do that on our NEXT visit back!
