Mom and Dad in Lubbock!

Well, I had been counting down the days until my parents arrived in Lubbock, Texas.

This was something I absolutely needed. I missed them so much, and was sooooo happy to have them here.  I enjoyed showing them the home that Andrew and I have created, sharing with them the love of our puppies, showing them our garden, meeting our friends, showing them the city that we now live in......although the city is hard to love.  They arrived on a Friday at1pm.  From there we went straight to Tech so that Andrew could show off his school/work/lab. I love watching him and listenting to him talk about what he does, you can just see with every cell in his body that he truly loves what he does and he is in the right spot to learn more about it.  Im pretty sure my parents got the same impression when he showed them everything.   

From there we took them home, and started right away on making POTSTICKERS!  We had a handfull of our good friends over for dinner so my mom and dad could meet our friends, and made yummy potstickers for dinner. It was so great!

The next day, we woke up and went for a walk......:)

Then we drove my parents around the city, and showed them everything that they would hear us talk about on the phone. I also showed them my office.  :)

On Sunday we took them to the best breakfast place in Lubbock. Home Cafe. We had to wait in line for almost 45 minutes before we sat down.....so worth it though. :)

After our lovely brunch we relaxed for a bit, and then decided to go wine tasting to the one of two winerys here.  This one is called LLano Estacado.  It was actually pretty good.  The picture below shows the three of them deciding on what they wanted to taste.  It was pretty neat, the winery had a list of about 30 wines of which we got to pick out any 5 to taste. So im sure between the 4 of us, we all tried different things, so really we all had a taste of 20 wines. :) 

This one was really really good, I usually like reds, but YUM!  We bought a bottle of this, a Merlot Reserve, and also another, but I cant remember what it was called. Maybe it was the too many tastes of wine we had :) 

Here we are, so so so happy, I am so thankful that they were here and got to see our world for the time being.  I miss them so much, and can not wait to see them again!  Thanks Mom and Dad....LOVE YOU!
