We arrived in Houston, Texas late last night for a weekend of celebration with our friends who usually live in Africa, but happen to be in Houston visiting family, and throwing a fabulous party to celebrate their 1 year wedding anniversary! Now, we have attended the celebration dinner in Tyson's Corner, VA after they married in a courthouse last April, and then their small wedding ceremony in the Virginia countryside late last April (see the photo here), so it was only fitting that we make the hour and 45 minute flight to Houston to help them ring in their first anniversary in style!
It was my first trip back to the States in 6 months, and I sensed a glorious shopportunity was close at hand! We found a giant mall (everything is bigger in Texas, right?) and shopped away until it was time for the party. This mall was so huge, it had two Macy's in the same mall, and a hotel built on top of it. Anyway, back to my story.
The party was really fun, and seeing the Winstons again was great. We made some new Texan friends, and celebrated well into the wee hours. We even took some sort of light rail in the middle of the night to get back to our hotel. Once back at the hotel, the party continued for my friends, but beings that we are old people now (approaching 30 very quickly!) we went to bed...a choice I stand behind!!

What can I say? Despite their questionable social stance, we cannot resist the Chicken Biscuit. I think the secret ingredient might be crack....
Us with Johnathan and our new Texan friends, enjoying the party. I think Johnathan would make an excellent politician one day, just look at that camera ready smile and suit! This picture may interfere with those plans....because Eric is clearly shady!!
After party time!! Luckily this is the only picture we took at the after party...because we are smart.
