Catch Up Time & Friday Favorites

Hello!

Wow, it's been a good minute since I last blogged. I feel like everything has been moving so fast that I have barely had time to breathe!

I noted in a blog back in September that I would be going on an 8 week stint with every weekend having something to do, and I am excited to say that, ALAS, this is the last weekend in the marathon. After this weekend, we have three weeks of NOTHING! I feel super old saying that but after traveling out of town for the past 6/7 weeks, I will be delighted to spend a weekend in Houston. Heck, this weekend will be the first time I've slept in my own bed (Friday-Sunday) for the past two weeks.

So what's been going, you ask? Well a little bit of Birthday celebrating, Aggie football, Labor Day lake trips, more Aggie football, and lots of wedding festivities.  

It feels like million moons ago, but at the tail end of August I celebrated my birthday! It was an awesome, perfect night with the best friends a girl could ask for. I have pretty good luck with my birthdays getting better each year and this one continued on that trend.

The whole group at Rebel's in Houston. Seriously love all of these guys.

Trevor did such an awesome job bringing everything together on my birthday. I am very thankful I have celebrated the past 5 birthdays with him by my side.

These girls...I love them. They are all such great friends. Hell 4 of them will most likely be bridesmaids in my wedding (if I ever get married<insert crying emoticon here>).

 In other news, my friend Heather FINALLY got married. I say finally because they were engaged for a good 2 and 1/2 years before they  had the wedding. (They were saving for their elaborate 3-week honeymoon in Europe.) The weekend before last we had the bachelorette party in Austin and last weekend was the big day. Everything turned out really great and I think all the waiting was worth the wait.

The group of girls at the bachelorette party.

The Bride and her dedicated team of bridesmaids. This was at the reception and it was time for us to let loose.

All the bridesmaids. I really enjoyed getting to know all of these wonderful women.

SO it rained...but it actually held off for the ceremony. This was myself, HW, and two other bridesmaids attempting to stay dry while the formal pictures.

My hott date...go figure I've had the same one for all four weddings that I have been in. I'm a lucky lady.

As previously stated, taking up a lot of our time... FIGHTIN' TEXAS AGGIE FOOTBALL! Or shall I say, Johny Football. What a season it has been so far. After our first loss to Florida, we have gone on to win every game. However, this weekend we play LSU and I am not naive. I know that LSU has linemen the size of NFL players and that they are a damn good team. But I am not counting us out with our super star Johny leading our team, and the momentum the Ags have coming off of two road game victories. This is going to be a hard fought game by both teams and it really could go either way. Since the game starts at 11 AM (WTF ESPN?!?) Trevor and I will be leaving Houston at 7 AM (the things we do for Aggie Football) so we can make sure we are there with plenty of time for tailgating, especially since our tailgate is sponsored by St. Arnold's Brewery. Yeah, DAT CREW Tailgating is some serious business. 

Dat Crew Tailgating at the Arkansas game. Come rain or shine, we'll be there!

Alright guys, I have to get back to work, but hope you enjoyed the catch up post and I promise to post again before Christmas.

Have a great weekend dolls and GIG'EM AGGIES!

Friday Favorites

Hello dolls! It's finally Friday! And this Friday I am linking up with Carlie at The Duplechin Daily again for Friday Favorites. :)

What I'm loving...

-This extremely long week is actually almost O-V-E-R!

Not kidding y'all, this week was almost too much. Yes, I know we had Monday off but on Tuesday I came in to work around 7AM and LEFT work at 2AM Wednesday morning. No lie. I was seriously about to die. I had nearly been up for 24 hours straight and had to remain extremely focused until I left the office in the wee hours. I did get to sleep in on Wednesday but still had to be back at work. Of course we were busy the rest of the week...oh and did I mention that Trevor had to be moved out of his apartment by last night but we don't get the keys to the new place until today? Oh yeah, and I am paying double rent this month for the new place and current apartment? Yup....so yes, I am loving that the weekend is here and this week can become history!

-We officially get the keys to our new place today!#@%#^$##!@%

I am so ready to be out of my apartment and into an actual house. :) Even though I won't be moving out officially until not this Sunday but the following, it's still a great feeling to actually be in possession of the keys.

Roadtrip next weekend with HW!

Housewife and I will be making the road trip to the big metropolis of Cleburne, TX for HC's lingerie shower. It will be great to have us all together again and to watch Heather turn different shades of red as she opens scantily clad lingerie in front of friends and family.

And last but certainly not least....

JIMMY BUFFETT CONCERT TOMORROW!!!!!

If you haven't heard, I am an obsessed  huge Jimmy Buffett fan. You could call me a Parrot Head. :) ( See Parrot Head definition here) Tomorrow around noon, Dad and Debbie will be coming in to town for brunch in the AM and then we will head to the Woodlands and tailgate until the concert starts at 8. It looks like it's going to be Trevor, myself, Dad, Debbie, a TON of my Dad's friends and a parking lot full of Parrot Heads. I'm thinking this is going to be extremely entertaining. :) I have been counting down to this since we bought the tickets months ago. Seriously can't wait.

I'll leave you with a few Buffett songs that I can't wait to hear tomorrow night.

Have some fun this weekend dolls. :)

"Volcano"

"Fins" & "Son of a Son of a Sailor"

"Cheeseburger in Paradise"

"Pencil-Thin Mustache"

and of course "Margaritaville"

Friday Favorites

Hello dolls! It's finally Friday! And this Friday I am linking up with Carlie at The Duplechin Daily for Friday Favorites. :)

What I am loving:

-GloGirl Airbrush Tanning. I love being tan but of course would like to avoid the skin cancer. Stacey at GloGirl does such a good job and if you have two other people with you, it's only 25$! My co-worker Pam and her daughter wanted to go so today after work I get to be tan again. :) If you live in the Houston area check her out on facebook!



-"LA Candy" By Lauren Conrad.

I was a Laguna Beach fan back in the day so I obviously adore L.C. This is my first book since I finished "The Hunger Games" trilogy/had a small breakdown and I am really liking it so far.



-Speaking of "The Hunger Games", the first movie is coming out in 22 days! Can we say excited!?! And I have managed to get Trevor hooked on the first book so he will be done before the movie comes out. :)

-Jimmy Buffet Station on Pandora. It's so relaxing. My only complaint is that it makes me want to be on a beach.

-Getting to see my Housewife this weekend. :)

-My new Job. I really love what I am doing and love the people I work with even more. Plus that pay increase wasn't to shabby, and because of it, I have plans to buy my first Louis Vuitton. :) In 2 months you will be mine. (One of you, at least)

Which one do you like more?

-Target's "Color Changes Everything" Commercial.

 I don't know what my obsession is with this commercial but every time I hear it I just want to dance around like a crazy French person. It's just so happy! Thoughts?

-Spending the evening with the best guy I know. :)

Have a great weekend dolls!
