*Steph (SJHK)-SURPRISE WOMAN! In just over 2 weeks, Billy and I will be arriving in your neck of the woods (literally-hello Frio river!) in Houston bright and early at 10am on July 3rd and staying for 6 lovely days, until Monday the 9th!!! Please have my Range Rover, our norm Iced coff, with a side of sangria, to pick us up from the airport. And yes, Beau and I planned/texted about this behind your back for a couple weeks...don't hate me.

I'm so excited to be in Texas with you for the 4th of July and stay at the ranch. It has been killing me for the past couple weeks to not be able to tell you, but we thought it would be fun to surprise you via blog post so, here we are. I know Fathers Day is a hard day for you, but I hope this cheers you up a bit. I figured you would kill me if I didn't tell you at all, because you would probably want notice to shop and detox first. Am I right or am I right? 


We will be reunited so soon and I'm so glad I don't have to avoid texting/calling you anymore because I'd most definitely spill the beans (and for the record, even Kristen kept this secret. That says a lot as you know! Thank you Kristen!! Can't wait to meet you and Shalyn! :))

....We're flying to Texas. We're flying to Texas. We are flying to Texas!!!
{Billy has never been to Texas and I haven't been in many, many years! Cheers to another vacay!}

Amen. 
Glad that's out.
Surprise people sometimes...it's pretty fun.

xo.
