I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted to at all of the family gatherings. I'm an extremely shy person, and being around so many people who've known each other for so long was more than a little intimidating for me, hahaha!
But the best part about our trip, other than getting engaged of course, was that I finally got to meet the few people I hadn't met in person, yet. I got to meet Wendy, Jon's wife. She sang karaoke at a bar, which was hysterical! She's a ball of energy and fun, and she had advice for me on a few subjects, which I really appreciated. And she joined Holly, Andrew, and me for lunch at an AWESOME deli (I do love a great sandwich!). I got to meet Carmen, Ryan's wife. She was so sweet!!! We got to have lunch with her and her family, go to the zoo, hang out and make pizzas...and of course, little Claudia. It was a pleasure to get to meet her, as well!
I got to spend a lot of time with Zach and Holly, and they were just wonderful. We stayed with them, and it was great getting to know Holly, finding out that we had a lot in common.
I got to meet his parents, and I'm glad for that! Andrew looks just like his dad, so that was cool to see!
And seeing Jon, Ryan, and Jake again was really great, I adore all of the brothers! They've always accepted me and made me feel welcome in the family!
I wish Jenny had been there, too, because I've only spent time with her for one short trip, and she was really great! Hopefully soon we'll get to have her and Jake back to stay with us in Texas!
So to every Dudek: thank you so much for making our vacation as wonderful as it was. I love Andrew with all of my heart, and I am so happy that he has such a wonderful family! I know I was quiet and shy, but I'll open up more eventually, haha! And I look forward to getting to know ALL of you more and more as time passes. I hope you all are having a wonderful week! Thanks, again!!
