Weekend in Lubbock

We went to Lubbock the first weekend in October to celebrate and surprise Gregg's parents for their 60th Birthday! Gregg planned the weekend with his sisters and everyone managed to keep it a secret from the guests of honor which was a MAJOR fete!!!

We flew to Lubbock Friday afternoon and my Mom picked us up from the airport. We went to Red Raider Outfitters (I wanted a new Tech shirt) and then went to pick Bailey up from school and went to my parents house. Friday night we went out to Tech to the tailgate area for a shrimp boil with my family and some of Seth's friends.

Saturday morning Gregg and I ran some errands before going back out to tailgate at Tech. We had more fantastic food and got to watch the first half of the Tech vs. New Mexico football game!

We left the tailgate during halftime to get ready for the surprise dinner party! The plan was for the family to all meet up at Gregg's sister Misti's house and then we would go to Ruby Tequilla's and meet up with more unexpected friends and family. Gregg and I hid in the back room once his parents arrived and then walked out right before they were going to open their presents. We totally caught his parents off guard and really surprised them by being in town! His Mom was so happy to have her son home.

We met up with Beverly's sister and her family along with Ronald's best friend/ college roommate and his wife at Ruby Tequilla's for dinner. We enjoyed fantastic Mexican food, great cake (made by Misti), and wonderful fellowship during dinner!

After dinner we went back to Gregg's parents and spent the night. On Sunday all of Gregg's family and all of my family met for lunch at a new hamburger place in Lubbock called "5 Guys Burger and Fries". It was so much fun to have both families together! We truly are blessed to have such wonderful and supportive families that live so closely together!!!
