The past few days have been absolutely wonderful as Sheryl, Warren, Joel and Kristi came down to Midland. They arrived late Friday night and left Monday afternoon, so while it was quick (and much too short), we loved having guests! Saturday morning, we met up with Sheryl and Warren (Joel and 
Kristi were at our apartment) and had some breakfast at their hotel (with a mean breakfast attendant, but that's a story for another day). Then, it was off to tour the airport, eat some lunch and of course, go shopping. The ladies tried not to be too long, but I guess one of the guys thought that we took a little bit too long (hence the picture or Warren asleep on a ledge at the mall)! Later that night, we dined at one of our favorite restaurants (Abuelo's) and then back to our house for snacks and drinks.

Sunday morning, everyone went to our church (with everyone at church introducing themselves to the visitors-- that's what you get with a congregation of 30 people) and then back to our apartment for brunch. Then, the ladies headed off for pedicures while the guys went and got some things for dinner. This past week, Phil bought us a grill, so we got to give it it's first cook with our special guests! Warren had brought some steaks from Iowa and we were all happy to enjoy them. Phil also used one of his other favorite toys that we got for our wedding, and made us green ice cream, for an early St. Patties Day treat. Monday we did minor sight-seeing (this is Midland after all!) and did another drive through town and stopped at George Bush's childhood home. After some pictures, it was back here to put on our bathing suits and head out to the pool! 
Unfortunately, when everyone arrived, Friday and Saturday were cloudy and only in the 50's (which is cold for us Texans!), but Sunday and Monday were gorgeous! Sheryl and I probably spent about 3 hours by the pool on Monday before agreeing that it was getting a little bit too hot for our liking :) So, back in to the shade of the apartment where everyone finished packing and started to load up the van. Unfortunately, business back in Iowa could not wait, so after some great, short days, they loaded up and headed out.

I would really like visitors this week, since it's my spring break and people may look at me funny sitting at the pool with it only being mid-70's this week (gasp- I know)! Don't worry-- I will have my book to keep me company-- I finally got suckered into the Twilight series and I'm on the 2nd book. So far, so good, so I highly recommend that everyone read the series. Phil heads back to work tomorrow evening for his 8-day work week, so hopefully I can be a good wife this week and make some goodies while he's working :)
Hope everyone has been touched by the luck of the Irish today, and may the blessings of St. Patrick continue for the rest of the year!
