Kevin and I were able to take some time off of work to head down to Texas to spend time with Anna, Andrew and their little ones. Andrew Graduated from Texas A&M with a masters in health administration so we made sure to get down there in time for that.
We left the night of May 6th to head over to Laramie. My dad was able to get a few days off work so he came with us too. It rained almost the whole drive over but we made it to Laramie around 2 am. It was nice to have a pit stop to rest before the rest of the long drive. We woke up and left Laramie on Thursday around 7:30 am. The drive to College Station was about 16 hours. It rained the whole way down again and so that slowed us down a little bit. As we were driving through Fort Worth Texas we hit some super intense rain! I was so glad Kevin was the one driving. He handled the conditions great and got us safely through it all. :)
We pulled into College Station around 1:30 or 2 am. It was so good to see Anna and Andrew! Little Jackson ended up waking up right after we got there and I about died seeing how much he had grown since the last time we saw them! We talked till about 3 and then all headed to bed. Friday morning I woke up to Kayleen and Jacob jumping on the bed! It was so fun to see how much their cute little personalities are grown since we last saw them. Mom and Dad Fox and Lizzie all got to college station that afternoon so we just hung out and relaxed that day.
Saturday was Andrew's graduation. We are so proud of him and his hard work the last two years in accomplishing this. His graduation was really cool. They would call the person's name and then say a little about them and what their plans were after graduation. It was cool to hear plans for grad school and people getting dream jobs in their field. It was really cool to be able to watch Andrew get awarded his masters degree. Way to go Andrew!
We ate and vegged after the graduation and just hung out the rest of the day. Mom and Dad Fox, Dad Lyman and Lizzie all left early Sunday morning to head to Wyoming. It was sad to see them go but it was fun getting to spend time with them all for a couple days.
Here are some (probably more than you care to see) pictures from the first few days in Texas...
Graduation day...
Rest of the weekend...
Part 2 of of our fabulous Texas trip coming soon...

I am so glad all of you were able to make it for the graduation!!! It felt so nice to have so much family to celebrate his graduation with! I love how Jackson always had his thumb in his mouth or a book for someone to read to him. Hahaha Oh, and the alligator - such an important part of the visit! Oh, how we miss you guys now!!!
