💙CONGRATULATIONS LILY AND COOPER HICKS💙
Wednesday, January 8th
My parents and I flew to Houston, Texas for my cousin Lily’s wedding. When we arrived at my Aunt’s house, we caught up since we didn’t see her and my cousins for Christmas. After talking for an hour, we got ready for bed and crashed.

Today was expected to be relaxing. When I woke up, dad and I took a trip to Kroger. When we got back, I helped Renae load her car with the gift bags and we dropped it off at the hotel. Afterward, we went to Michaels's art store and had to pick up flower petals for the flower girls. That wasn’t easy to find, but we found it. Our last errand was to pick up tanning cream for the bride. Everything was successful. We drove back home to their house. About two or three hours later, dad and I drove to the airport to pick up Grandma and Aunt Jena. When we got back, we greeted the rest of the family and had a delicious simply homemade baked ziti that my Aunt Bug made. It was so good I had three small portions of it.
Everyone including my parents and I drove to the Marriott Hotel where we stayed for three nights. Grandma came over to our room and watched the first episode of the new Jeopardy Game Show. Then we went to bed.
Friday, January 10th
We drove over to my Aunt Bug’s house and has lunch with the family. I’m a picky eater so I had McDonald’s. After lunch, my dad and I drove to the airport and picked up Amy. Both of us got dropped off at the hotel so we could get ready for the Rehearsal Dinner.
All six of us went to the dinner at the Sliding Doors. Delicious bbq brisket. As we finished eating, we listened to a couple of people’s speeches about Lily and Cooper. After the rehearsal dinner, we drove back home and watched the second episode of Jeopardy. Then we fell asleep in our beds.

After sleeping in, my parents, Grandma, Kathy and I went to the Longhorn Steakhouse for lunch. Their grilled chicken is out of this world delicious. We went back to the hotel and relaxed then got ready for the wedding. The wedding was so much fun. Apparently, during the ceremony, a bird crashed in the window of the church. Sadly he didn’t make it. But it was funny cause you don’t see something like that at weddings. We all went over to the venue where the party was in. I met a couple of people who knew me when I was little. Everyone was really nice. Dinner was oh my gosh, the best pork chop I ever had in my life. The gravy and potatoes were yummy too. After dinner, My Uncle, Cooper’s Dad, Renae, and the best man, all did their speeches. Renae’s was the funniest. I went onto the dance floor with my Aunt Amy and Jena. I boogied till I could dance no more.
At the end of the wedding, we all lined up outside waving the Texas A&M towel as the newlyweds ran through the middle.
A very fun, simple wedding. Congratulations to my cousin Lily and to my new cousin Cooper. Love you both.
After the wedding, dad and I picked up some snacks from Walgreens. We then apparently out of nowhere got stuck in the elevator at our hotel. Luckily we got out without having to push the emergency button. The three of us stayed up till midnight and watched an episode of Friends before we crashed.

We got to sleep in a little bit longer before we checked out the hotel and headed to Aunt Bug’s house for brunch. Dad and I had McDonald’s again for lunch and ran some errands. I bought myself a JJ Watt shirt cause he’s one of my inspirations. Then we went back to my aunt’s house and watched my man JJ sadly lose to the Chiefs. I had a cup of tea and got a relaxing foot rub from my mom. I’m a mommas girl.
Dad took Grandma, Jena, and Amy back to the airport. Aunt Jean, Kathy, and Rob also left for the airport.
Aunt Lynn, John, mom and I stayed and just relaxed. Dad brought home Popeyes for him and I since I don’t like Texas Pizza(all jokes aside, who really does).
The four of us watched the Ellen Game Show, then dad and I went to bed cause we had to be up early for our road trip home.

Drove from Katy, Texas all the way to Louisiana. Stopped at the Welcome Center to stretch and use the bathroom. Then continued on to for the next long few miles. Next, we took a tour of LSU as I found a Wendy’s but realized it was for campus students only. So we drove a few miles more and dad found a Chikfila. Stopped there for a delicious lunch. After lunch, we continued on for the next long hundreds of miles to the Welcome Center in Alabama. We booked our one night stay in Motel 6 which by the way, surprisingly got a 4/5 star rating. Afterward, we drove fifteen miles to our hotel. After we got settled in and recharged our phones, we went to Golden Corral for dinner and then stopped at Walmart. When we got back to our hotel, we stayed up for a little longer then went to bed.

We got up early and had breakfast at Burger King then we hit the road towards Our next destination, North Carolina.
We made it to Georgia, but it’s currently lashing. We drove all the way to Greensboro North Carolina. After we dropped off our bags and got settled into our hotel, we drove a short distance to Denny’s for a late dinner. After dinner, we went back to the hotel, and unwinded then went to bed.

We actually slept in a little bit today. Then went to Burger King for breakfast. After breakfast, we started our journey to Chantilly Virginia. When we arrived, Dad and I got to tour the Air Space Museum. Tons of different planes and the history behind them we finished our trip to Hanover, Maryland and went to Walmart. After Walmart, we drove to our hotel in Laurel Maryland. Only a short drive from Hanover.

We got to sleep in an hour or two extra which was nice. Dad and I started our journey home to Brooklyn from Maryland. On our way home, we finally found a Sonic. The milkshakes and their popcorn chicken are to die for. After lunch, we found a Welcome Center and took a photo in front of the Delaware sign. Around three in the afternoon, dad and I made it home safe and sound.
Here are some photos from our trip
