Last weekend we flew back to Texas to celebrate two graduations – Michael getting his bachelor’s and Brandon getting his master’s. The trip from LAX > AUS on Thursday was easy enough, and Brandon’s parents picked us up so we could stay in Belton for the night. Our first dinner request? Whataburger, of course. Friday…
