Visiting Family in Texas

My cousin lives in San Antonio which is about an hour and a half from Austin. She actually only lives there part of the time. Her (Aftyn), her husband (Steve), and their 2 year old son (Chase) also live in Saudi Arabia! They moved there for Steve's work about 4 years ago. He trains people to fly airplanes. So, they are only in San Antonio for weeks at a time. This time, they are only here for 5 weeks, and since we live so close now, we decided to go visit this past Saturday. Steve isn't in town yet, he is still in Saudi, but it was so great to see Aftyn. Mr. Hunt had never met her and I hadn't seen her since her wedding in 2008, which also means that neither of us had ever met Chase.
As soon as we were together, we just picked right up where we left off. It as great. We had hours upon hours of questions for each other since we had to catch up on each others lives for the past 4 or 5 years. Also, Chase was a hoot! He is not shy and he just asked us every question you can think a little 2 year old would ask. We went for an early dinner at a (you guessed it) Mexican Restaurant and it was so yummy. Then we headed home. Not to worry though because we will see them one more time when Steve gets into town before they have to go back to Saudi.
I wish they didn't have to go back, but just like Mr. Hunt and I being far from our family here in Texas, I couldn't imagine how they feel being even further from their family in Saudi.
We were talking so much that we really didn't have time for many pictures, but we did get a few. Chase didn't want to be in the pictures so we bribed him with a lollipop, and even then, he wouldn't look at the camera. Once I put him down he said "Where's my lollipop"





Love,
Jen
