Thanksgiving Break!

Well over all I had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. I ate a ton of food, hung out with some great family and friends, and of course, shopped like crazy. Yes, Billy and I braved the crowds starting at 4am on Friday. Over the course of the morning we went to JCPenney, Kohl's, Circuit City, Sam's, Macy's, Target, Academy, Walmart, Tuesday Morning and a few others. I finished almost all my Christmas shopping so that is exciting.

Saturday I went to Billy's game which was freezing and I think raining most of the time. They killed TSU and Billy got to start! :) After the game everyone came over to my house to celebrate my birthday. I am so thankful to have such an amazing family and wonderful friends in my life. I can't wait for another exciting week!

Danielle's Wedding

We had a blast in Alabama this past weekend. It was perfect weather for an outdoor wedding and the trees were beautiful since they are all different colors. Everything went smoothly and we all had a great time. I loved rooming with Michelle, my brother's fiancee, because we got to know each other a little bit better. It was so nice to see the whole family and I am looking forward to the next time we will all be together. Here is a slideshow of the wonderful wedding. Congratulations Danielle and Chris!

Since tomorrow is Turkey Day, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Busy Week

Well I am definitely glad that it is Thursday night. Monday was great since Billy came to this side of town. We got to go to Young Life together and then we worked on his grad school application. Tuesday we had a party up at work, but after that I went down to Billy's and hung out with him. We got his application finished so now we can only wait and see if he gets in. We started practices this week at work, so I have been working late the past two nights. Last night after work, Betsy (my sister in law) went to dinner which was great. I love spending time with her and I am so happy that I have a sister. I only had brothers growing up, so now I have to catch up! I am also excited about my other brother getting married this summer so then I will gain another sister!

Anyway, it has been a crazy hectic week, and I am so glad I don't have to go to work tomorrow. We are leaving at 4am to leave for Alabama. My cousin is getting married so the whole family is piling in the car, like the old days, and heading on a road trip. It should be really fun and I will definitely post pictures as soon as we get back. Please pray for our safe travels and a blessed marriage.

It is homecoming this weekend at UH so be praying for Billy and his team as well. We can only hope they will not play like they did last week, but I have confidence that they will come out strong. I will be getting texts during the wedding with updates, but I am very sad I will have to miss the game :(

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

WOW. . .

That is the only way to describe this weekend, and it is not a good wow. First I had to wake up before 4 on Saturday morning to make a 6am flight to Dallas and then wait for a connecting flight to Tulsa. I get there and all seems great. . . until the game starts. Wow. That was definitely the worst game of football ever! Everything fell apart and just got worse as the game went on. Luckily we scored a touchdown so we weren't shut out, but the boys played horrendously. Then we stayed the night and everyone we saw had to ask how we did. . . a great way to end a devastating night. Well now I am back in Houston and have a very busy week ahead of me, leading to an even longer weekend. I was planning on posting a cute picture of all of us from after the game, but I did not take any pictures (for obvious reasons). Hopefully they play much better this weekend against Marshall. I will have to listen to it on the radio since I will be out of the state, but I will definitely be cheering them on.

Tulsa bound!

I booked my flight to Tulsa today! I was so excited, even though it was rather expensive. That is what I get for waiting until the last minute. On Sunday night, after the football game, I realized how sad I was that I was not going to be able to see possibly the most important game of the season. That is why I decided I needed to get to Tulsa this weekend no matter what. I am going to fly up there Saturday morning and then drive back with Randee. That way I only have to pay for a one-way last minute ticket. Anyway, I will be in Tulsa this weekend, supporting my baby, and cheering him and his team on to victory.

Date Night

So since Billy's game is not until tomorrow night, the football team had Friday night to themselves. Since this was pretty much the first time all semester, it was a date night for us. I was so excited I was going to be spending almost 24 hours with him! I left work early yesterday since I had gotten there early and I made my way down to his house before he was done with football. Once he got home, we got ready and headed out the door. We went to Maggiano's (Italian) for some delicious dinner then headed over to the Cheesecake Factory to pick up some dessert (only for me though since Billy does not like cheesecake). We had a great time walking around the Galleria and doing a little shopping. We then went and rented Mr. Brooks. It was a good movie, even though it was a like messed up (you will have to see it to know what I mean). It was an amazing evening and I am so glad we had that time together.


Here is a picture of us on the way out the door. If you have never been to Maggiano's I would definitely recommend it. The prices are reasonable and the portions are HUGE!
