Texas

Our trip to Texas was great. The hotel was very nice, however it was also close to an hour away from Gladney. So of course we were worried about being late, especially with the crazy Texas interstate system and traffic in Forth Worth(which we were told was bad). Equiped with GPS we left with an hour and 45 minutes to make the 50 minute drive. After much stress and worring about being late we arrived 45 minutes early.
Kristin and I were very impressed with Gladney. We received a ton of information and heard a lot of great stories. At one point there was a birth mother panel, with 5 women who had or are going to give their baby up for adoption. It was really interesting hearing their perspective. What a difficult and selfless decision. We did purchase the application. There is a ton of paper work that needs to be completed. This is the part that I'm dreading. I'm not really a paper work kind of guy. With teachers having the summer off and only having basketball camp on my schedule right now I'm not sure how to talk Kristin into completing all of it. If anyone has any suggestions please text me.
The other part of the trip that I was excited about was trying some Texas BBQ. If I couldn't get Texas BBQ I at least wanted something common or popular in the area. The three places that we at in order were Chic-Fil-A, Pastazio's(a NY style pizza place), and Five Guys. None of which were remotely Texan. It is okay though. We plan on going back at least two more times.
