We started the day a bit slower than usual as we were up so late the night before. We had plans to meet up with some friends in Dripping Springs around 11am and it was about an hour away from where we were staying. We got on the road just at 10:30am. We pulled into Dripping Springs and found our way to Mazama Coffee Co. & Roastery<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met up with Darren and Lori and we\u2019re treated to delicious coffee and scrumptious baking and the absolute best friendship & company. The boys were thrilled to be on their own connected to wifi. And we went and sat outside on the patio under a huge sprawling tree. It was magical. We talked and talked and caught up and it was another incredible moment of soul filling connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a couple of hours the boys started to get antsy and so we had a quick tour of their roastery. It\u2019s fascinating, truly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an art form. It\u2019s another beautiful craft that results in a delicious, perfect cup of coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We headed back to Round Rock and found out that not only was it one cousin\u2019s birthday but Jon\u2019s cousin WAS available for dinner. He hadn\u2019t been previously, but events worked out and he was free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent the afternoon chatting with Tammie while Burton finished work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fabulous covered back porch and the great company and the warm wind blowing through combined with the incredible bird sounds made for a magical afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Their kids and our kids spent the entire afternoon chatting and laughing and sharing. When Burton finished work, we got ready to go to Chuy\u2019s – a delicious Tex-Mex Restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the drive there, Siah shared that he was so enjoying spending time with the cousins and said, \u201cI am loving this. These are my kind of people.\u201d It\u2019s so good to hear and it was amazing to see how quickly we all connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It really was incredible how well our families got along. We talked and listened and our hearts were knit together. I\u2019m filled with gratitude that we had this special time to connect. We chatted much later than we should have, knowing that our time together was short. Eventually we hugged, made plans to have coffee in the morning before we took off and headed to bed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
