san antonio again

yesterday emily and i drove another wife to the airport in san antonio.  it's about a two hour drive from corpus.  emily had never been there so after dropping off dasily, we went to the alamo and riverwalk!

i'm always slightly under-whelmed by the alamo.  i guess i just had imagined it bigger and more grandiose in my head.  or something.  what i took from it this time was that the alamo led to the independence of texas, which led to the mexican war, which led to the united states picking up texas, utah, and a few other states.  only a year later after that was when the pioneers arrived in utah.  pretty crazy huh?  oh and i didn't get a picture (no photography allowed! some man yelled at us for snapping pics with our phones.) but there was a locket on display that davy crockett had given to his gf with a lock of his hair inside! ew! i'm glad we have other ways of showing our affections nowadays.

fearless squirrel we saw by the alamo

on the riverwalk! so pretty.

our souvenirs

davy crockett style.  we rocked the coon hats. 

when trevor met dustin

my handsome husband finally met my brother!  last week trevor came to corpus christi and got to spend a few days with us.  dustin and trevor got along smashingly well (as i knew they would!).  they are similar in so many ways and it was lots of fun getting to see them interact finally!  they are going to be great friends. :) i haven't met dustin's brother stephen yet, but he gets home from his mission the end of september, so i'm looking forward to finally meeting him.

trevor was starving when he got off the plane, so i took him to whataburger of course.  

the moment they met! (haha that sounds like a line from a love story)

the whole office went to rudy's bbq after winning an incentive.

emily, trevor, and i went to the uss lexington museum on the bay!  such a cool museum!  definitely recommend it if you're ever in corpus.
