Weekend Review!

This past weekend was everything I could ask for in a weekend, it was perfect!

Friday night Garrett and I got dressed up and headed to Whispering Pines bed and breakfast for dinner. If you are in the area make reservations and go tonight! It is that good! We were rushing out the door to not be late so we didn't get a picture of us before we left, and the atmosphere of the restaurant wasn't really picture taking friendly (there are only 9 tables). The food was delicious, the service was awesome, it was quiet and romantic, a little place nestled in the woods, it was just perfect. We were wishing we lived somewhere else so we could come back and stay at the B&B on game weekends, it is just precious! I cannot wait to go back.

Saturday was Game Day!  We spent the morning lounging around watching football, until it was time to head to Norman! And let me tell you it was my kinda game!! We won 52-0! I brought my camera to the game only to realize in the car there was no memory card in it! So sad! Garrett didn't have his phone so this is all we got

One lonely picture on my not so great phone :(

After the game we stopped at Van's Pig Stand for some yummy bbq! (something about a football game makes me want bbq)

Sunday we slept in and went to a new fun restaurant that we found (that I'll do a separate post on another day). Came home watched football and napped, perfect! (somewhere in there I found time to do a little bit of studying, and we both did a little bit of running). Then we went to a late movie Let Me In it was really, really good! (and I don't even like vampires!) It was supposed to be scary but the story was too good for it to be scary!

So, it was the perfect weekend. Yummy food! Football! Movies! Naps! Hanging out with my favorite!

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

It's GAME DAY in Norman, America!!!!



BOOMER SOONER!!!!

Take Two

Several months ago I set down and made a list of goals. These goals were different than my New Years Goals and the goals on The 101 in 1001 list (which are both going swimmingly).

These goals were life goals.

It's no secret (if you know me) that I thought my life was going to go very differently than it has. From the time I can remember I've said if I wasn't married by the time I was 28 (like that would happen) I'd have a baby alone. But last year as I struggled with the fact that I was turning 27 (it was hard, hard, hard for me) and that was happening it became a reality that I needed to figure out some new life plans. I'm NOT interested in having a baby alone at this point in my life, and I can't sit around being sad about being 27, 28, or oh my lord what was 30 going to be like?!?

So....I came up with some new goals and new things I wanted to accomplish and pushed back my I'll-have-a-baby-alone-at-this-age significantly and sent them to my bestie and we got started (and it really is we because I could not have done it without him)

All of that to say....

I'm a College Student again.

I'm half way through my first semester and it's so different this time around, I do my homework (though I have two midterms next week and I'm procrastinating studying by blogging), go to class, take notes, pay attention you know all the things you're supposed to do but I just was not interested in doing the first time around. So far I'm loving it.  

I'm so excited about the direction everything is headed!

Weekend Recap.

I have been so crazy busy lately that this weekend was much anticipated, I had plans to spend much of it doing nothing. I have lots and lots of pictures from the past few weekends but this weekend I did not take one single one. And I for one am okay with that....here's what I did in words...


Friday Night - Garrett came over and felt the need to fall clean...my stuff. So, much to my horror we went through everything I own and got rid of a ton of stuff. I'm talking 6 garbage bags full of things to donate. According to him there was much more to purge but I think that was a good start! My Mom used to have a mantra she made me chant "Trash Cans Are Our Friends". I personally hate trash cans, I could be a hoarder. I love my things. But, with all the moving in college made me do I've actually become quite good at getting rid of stuff, well good for me. I also have this small problem called when I get rid of things I say things like well I'll just have to go shopping to get some more ____ fill in the blank with whatever I just put in the donate pile. I don't think it's supposed to work that way. Anyway, we cleaned our little hearts out until very late, and were more than ready to sleep.

Saturday - On the way to Norman to run some errands and eat lunch at my newest very favorite restaurant before the football game, we passed The Fair. And Garrett decided we should go! His spontaneity floored me, I hadn't even asked to go the fair because I was pretty sure he would say something about all the icky people that come to waste their money at the fair. I was all up for the idea because HELLO fair food get in mah belly!!!! Let me tell you the Fried Green Tomatoes were worth all the scary redneck people and the man who shoved me out of his way (even though HE was the one walking on the wrong side of the lane) I love, love, love fried green tomatoes (why aren't there ever any in the store? I would make them at home and eat them every day myself if I could find them!) We also ate some...are you ready for this....Chocolate Covered Bacon....did you read that. Oh my AH-MAZE-ING the amount we got for the price was kind of a ripoff but ya'll I could eat that every.single.day after my FGTs of course. We had the Corn Dog and the Roasted Corn of course and some fresh squeezed lemonade that was a total disappointment, and an indian taco that wasn't anything great. I've already made my list of what I'll be filling my belly with next year. 


Dear Fair, 
I love you. I cannot wait to see you again. Can we please get married? But, maybe it could be just you and me and not all the crazy people wearing no clothes, they scare me. And maybe also could you leave the animals at home, they smell icky. 
Love Always and Forever (as long as you have Fried Green Tomatoes and Chocolate Covered Bacon),
Me


Sunday - I was supposed to drive to Dallas on Sunday and I was dreading it because it was going to be the fifth weekend in a row I spent six-plus hours in the car and I just wanted to do nothing. So, I changed some things around and I made it so I could just do nothing! And it was GLORIOUS!!!! I did go to lunch at my favorite new restaurant that I didn't make it to on Saturday. Iron Star Urban BBQ, if you are in Norman or OKC go there now. Seriously right this second. It is sooooo good. It's one of those places where you want to try everything because everything that you have put in your mouth from there has been so absolutely amazingly good, but you also don't want to miss out on your favorite thing that you had the first time you went there. I have learned to conquer problem by taking different people with you and then trying whatever they order. Other than it was football and lots and lots of napping. The best kind of days!


Things are going to continue being crazy around here for the rest of the year so I'll take lazy weekend days whenever I can get them!


Happy Scott's Birthday!!!


Have an awesome week!

I'm headed out of town...

To spend the next few days taking care of some of my favorite people...

 
I have so many fun things planned for us to do!!

I'm sure I'll get a bunch more super cute pictures!

It's gonna be like one big slumber party!!

Maybe we'll even convince this big brother that's normally way too busy to hang out and pose for pictures to hang out with us!

No work, All play...it's Labor Day!!!

Saturday was the first football game of the season!!!

In anticipation of not wanting to drag my camera into the student section, I made the boy take a picture before we left.


And I took another in the car...I was soooo excited that we decided to go to the game at the last second, nothing beats watching my Sooners in person!!!


The game left a lot to be desired...but none the less I am excited that the wait for football season to start has finally come to an end!!!

We got another one at the game before the Iphone died...


Sunday we were up bright and early (for us) to head to Dallas!!!!

We had to stop and get some gas on the way down...and the gas station had an A&W restaurant and Garrett surprised me and got some mini corn dogs....that boy knows the way to my heart!


One of the main reasons for our trip south was to eat at the pizza place Vapiano's


Garrett has talked this place up for MONTHS...

and a three day weekend seemed like the perfect time to drive three hours for a pizza


Vapiano's is downtown and the decor is really modern and fun...


Let me tell you the Pizza did NOT disappoint, we ate one...and then got another one...so yummy!

Vapiano's makes their own pasta, I didn't try any but Garrett said he wasn't over impressed with it. Every other person in the restaurant was eating pasta (so it can't be that bad) I'll let you know some day when I'm can get a bite of someone else's because my heart belongs to the pizza!!!


No trip to Dallas would be complete without....


some time with my favorite little people.


After a few pictures we headed back to the better side of the Red River!

To spend Labor Day doing absolutely no laboring, and that was wonderful!
