Meeting with Leslee and the MMPI Test

Today I drove into to Houston for my counseling session with Leslee and then I had to take the MMPI test. I cannot recall what MMPI stands for but I nicknamed it "the crazy people test". It's a type of personality test and would you believe I passed with flying colors!?!? :-) Part of the beginning process is meeting with a counselor, taking this MMPI and then a counseling session for all four of us (Jaren, Missy, Tim and myself) soon. I enjoyed Leslee and my almost hour and a half talk. She's very friendly and made the fact that I had to take this MMPI again so much easier. No scantrons this time. I was able to take the test on the computer and completed the 540 question test in about 30 minutes. Missy and I met across the street for a late lunch at Panara Bread (Yum! Hopefully we'll see these opening up near us!) before I headed home. Another check off our list.

Night out with Missy and Linda

Missy and her Mom, Linda, drove in from Houston and got a room on the Riverwalk. We decided to meet for dinner at Mi Tierras, just the four of us. Tim and I dropped Makenzie and Mason off with his parents, Jay and Ricki, then headed downtown. Dinner was good and we had great conversation but Tim and I never thought to check what was going on this weekend. Some kind of Tejano concert deal. Stages were everywhere you turned with music going. Parking was tough but doable. After dinner we went back to their hotel, La Mansion, for drinks in the bar. After a drink or two Missy suggested we walk to Swiggs on the Riverwalk for a martini. I tried my first chocolate martini and tasted Missy's apple martini. Mmmm Mmmm! Tim enjoyed what he said was a good cigar but personally I thought it smelt awful. We had a good time "people watching" and just relaxing with good conversation once again. Walked back to the hotel and said our good byes before Tim and I headed home. Fun fun!

We met Jay, Ricki and the kids at Grumpy's for breakfast Saturday morning with Missy and Linda following shortly after. They were able to meet Tim's parents along with Tim's Uncle Mark (Jay's brother) and of course our kiddos, Makenzie and Mason. Missy and Linda also experienced a "Grumpy Sized" breakfast but oh is it GOOD! Should have taken a picture of breakfast for a the blog. Maybe next time! :-) We chatted for a bit after everyone took in the last morsel of food they could find space for. We walked out together and said long goodbyes planning our next moves. Sure wish Jaren could have come in town too but he simply could not get out of work this time around. We'll have plenty more opportunities though. The future is looking good!
