Let's go bowling

Well neither of my teams did well in their bowls this year :( I had such a good time going to the Texas Bowl pep rally on Thursday and then working/tailgating/watching the game on Friday. Billy got to play a ton so that was awesome to watch. The final score was TCU 20, UH 13. The defense played great and I am so proud of him for all his hard work. Here are a couple shots of him I took from the sidelines.

Here is Billy sitting with Cody and Tate on the bench.

Another action shot.


The Ags didn't win either so we will have to do better next year.

Tomorrow is New Year's eve and Billy and I are going to Dallas to hang out with some friends and go to a wedding. I am so excited! We are bringing Lauren to Dallas as well, but she is going to hang out with some of her college friends.

Happy New Year's!!!!! :)

Vacation Time

I had such a great time this past week. On Monday, Billy and I left Houston and drove to the Hill Country to meet up with his parents. On Tuesday we went around to a bunch of different wineries and had a great dinner at the Gristmill in Gruene. Wednesday we went to the Outlet Mall at San Marcos and spent a ton of money of course. It was so nice to be able to go there right before Christmas and get some last minute presents. For dinner that night we went to Texas Red's, which is the steakhouse Billy and I discovered when we were there over spring break. The foos was delicious.
Thursday we slept in a little bit and then headed to San Antonio. We went to the Alamo, Market Square, and of course the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is beautiful at night during the holiday season. We ate at Rio Rio Cantina and then went and hung out at Dirty Nelly's for a while. They have this hilarious piano man there, so that was fun. Friday was more of a relaxing day. We went back to Gruene and went to all the little shops they have there. Then we went and saw "National Treasue: Book of Secrets". We also went to a scrapbook depot and there was a ton of fun stuff there. Saturday we woke up and headed home. It was a great trip and was fun and relaxing.
When we got home, Billy and I wrapped some presents and then we made Christmas cookies. We make them every year so I am glad we got to make them again. Billy leaves for Bowl week today so he will be on the other side of Houston until after his bowl game on the 28th. I think he will be able to come home for a little while on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so that is happy. Here are some pictures from our trip! (Oh and he got his school ring finally so there is a picture of our rings together too!)













Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

VACATION!

So I am super pumped about being able to take some time off work to go chill somewhere other than Houston. Tomorrow I leave for Canyon Lake, outside of Austin, for some fun times with Billy and his parents. It should be amazing and I am so glad we are going to be able to see them on his birthday (they have been there since Saturday). I can't wait to sleep in, go shopping, and hang out on the River Walk. I love spending every moment with Billy so this should be a great trip.

Speaking of Billy, HE GRADUATED!!! It's crazy to think we are both done with college. I feel so old :( He doesn't feel any different since he starts grad school in less than a month. Here are some pictures from his graduation.



This is us right after graduation. It was very bright and windy outside.



This is us with his parents (it looks like we should be in a Cingular commercial in this picture).


Congratulations baby!!!!

December

Not too much happening:
Lots of work
Fun times at Young Life
Wednesday's off! (wahoo)
Shopping, shopping, and more shopping :)

Oh, Billy's football banquet was on Friday and it was so much fun. The food was great and everyone was dressed up. Here are some fun pictures from that.

Can't wait for Billy to graduate Saturday. . . CONGRATULATIONS! Also, congrats to him on getting into the MBA program. I am so proud!

Birthday Week :)

Well my 23rd birthday has come and gone and it is finally December. This past week was very busy at work because we had our first tournament this weekend. I stayed late every night, but it was a good experience. On Friday Billy came up to work to help the new guys up there learn how to do everything. We left around 6:30 and Billy's mom took us to eat at one of our favorite restaurante, LOS CUCOS! After eating we did some shopping and before we knew it, our Friday night was over. We had to wake up early on Saturday to get to the Complex, and we worked for about 12 hours straight. Billy's parents came and picked us up and took us to Carrabbas! Yumm! Sunday we woke up early again and worked the second day of the tournament. We left early and went to the Young Life Christmas party which was very nice, except of course they had Carrabbas. Wouldn't you know that after years of not having food from that restaurant, we have it two days in a row! At least it is delicious!

Now it is Monday and another busy week has begun. We have tournaments for the next two weekends so it will be busy for a little while longer. In less than two weeks, Billy is graduating! I am so proud of him and so excited to see him get his diploma! I am so glad that December has arrived, along with some cold weather, so we can get ready for Christmas! Let the festivities begin!
