Ross and Meredith

While Leigha was still here, we had a surprise visit from one of Brad's high school & college friends, Ross, and his sweet wife Meredith.   Brad and Ross both grew up at the same church, Park Cities Baptist, and the same school, Lake Highlands high school. Then both of them attended First Baptist Bryan and Texas A&M.  Ross is a couple of years younger than Brad and has always been a terrific friend.  After out engagement, Ross's mom even offered to host me a bridal shower!

Currently, Ross is a PhD student in aerospace engineering at Texas A&M and Meredith is now on staff for Chris Hoover!   It was great fun catching up at Five Guys, the best hamburger joint in D.C.!


Meredith and Ross

Ross and Meredith were AMAZED by how many french fries they give you with one order at Five Guys. :-)

They thought all three of our girls were so sweet! 

Anna thought they were pretty sweet too! 

Thanks Leigha for taking picture of all of us! :-)

Saying good-bye with some high fives! 

Anna thought it was lots of fun!

The summer before we moved to England, Ross came with the Singing Cadets to Washington D.C. for a concert tour.  He invited us to attend a "casual concert" (at least I hope it was, if not, we were under-dressed) at the Capital building! :-) It was a lot of fun! I always get so excited when they sing the "Spirit of Aggieland"! 

I love this picture because it says "Jillian Holmes '28". Whoop! We are already looking forward to Jillian   being the proudest member of Texas A&M Class of 2028! :-)
