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

It's Friday, which equals Friday Favorites time with Carlie at The Duplechin Daily


WHAT I'M LOVING!!!


Aggie Football Season Tickets are in!!!
Wednesday when Trevor went to check the mail he walked in and said we got a very expensive package today. Knowing we paid our first born quite a bit for these tickets I knew what it had to be. Did you know that the "average" sports fan will spend $90,000 on their favorite sports team throughout their entire lifetime? (That is insane, but totally believable.) This is our 3rd season as season ticket holders, and I cannot wait to get back to tailgating and the sea of maroon and white which is Kyle Field on gameday. Another exciting part of this upcoming season is our tailgate is being sponsored by Saint Arnold's Brewery ! If you are on campus and near the lot H, look for "Dat Crew Tailgate". Thanks and Gig'Em!


Flowers just because.
After making the 13 mile/38 minute drive home yesterday I walked in the house to find these sitting on the counter. I feel very blessed to have such a thoughtful boyfriend who doesn't need a reason to spoil me. He's amazing. :)


Sonic Fridays.
Yes, every Friday morning I treat myself to a Route 44 beverage from Sonic. It's delicious and it makes my Friday morning happy. You should try it sometime.


Upcoming Festivities
This up coming week marks my favorite week of the year. (Tied only with Christmas/New Years Week) Next week is not only Trevor and I's anniversary (5 years!) but it's also the day yours truly was born. With most of our Houston friends RSVPing "yes", combined with the 9 house guests Trevor and I will have in our house, plus few more additional "out of towners", it's going to be a blasty-blast and I CANNOT WAIT!

I guess I'm not your typical 23 about to be 24 year old. I actually LOVE birthdays! I love celebrating them! I don't understand why most people just don't get excited for their birthdays after college but most people don't. In any case, I am totally okay being the minority in this situation. My friend Ashley was telling me that she gets excited for my birthday because I get so excited! I have had several people tell me that can't wait for my party. That truly makes my heart happy. If people get excited enough to come hang out, have a great night out, and just have fun then I think my over excitement about my birthday is great. :) It never fails that my birthday celebrations end up being a great time and that is only because I am blessed to have a great group of friends and family that go along with my crazy birthday antics. So thanks y'all. :)

And last but not least, another fun weekend!
Tonight while the men do what they do best around this time of year (Fantasy Football) the girls are going to do what we do best, drink wine. :) Then tomorrow I have a hair appointment, followed by our dear friend Brandt's Birthday Celebration. It's going to be a great weekend with the people that substitute as our family most of the time.


Lastly, I just want share a little something.This morning when I was saying my morning prayer I got choked up...I just feel so blessed and lucky to have such an amazing life and incredible people in it. I am thankful for the health of my family and friends. I am thankful for the stand out man in my life that I get to call my boyfriend, and so much more... I know that the only reason my life is as good as it is, is because of GOD. Today I feel very blessed and I hope you all do to.


Have a great weekend dolls!
