So, it's only week #3 and I'm already running late on posting this weekly post! This is my mentally kicking myself into gear to get week #4 posted on time.
January 17 - On Sunday, I drove down to The Woodlands to spend some time with my family. One of the positives about living in College Station is having my family so close by. Catherine and I met up for dinner at our favorite Mexican food place - Escalantes (you should have seen the excitement when they opened their Woodlands location!). We enjoyed margaritas and caught up on the past few weeks.
January 18 - I had Monday off of work because it was Martin Luther King, Jr. day. Tucker and I got to relax and spent time with my parents. He whole heatedly thinks that he rules the roost at my parents house, which he likes to show us by sitting in my dad's recliner.
January 19 - On Tuesday, a friend invited me to go to the Aggie men's basketball game vs LSU. It was supposed to be a BIG game and it was the first day of classes for the spring semester, so students came out in force! I haven't seen that many students at a basketball game in a LONG time! There were more students than there were seats, so there were hundreds of them standing. It was loud! Thankfully, the Aggies beat LSU handily!
January 20 - When I started this project I told myself that I needed to limit myself to 1 photo of Tucker per week max. It looks like it was a Tucker-heavy week this go-round. This is just a reminder that I need to take more photos throughout the day. Anyways, check out this little snuggle bug. He likes to lay in my lap as I watch TV and look out the blinds to spy on the neighbor pups.
January 21 - Thursday was Kellie's birthday! I was happy to be able to celebrate with her, her mother, and some friends with dinner at Cafe Eccell. Clearly I didn't take this one (I guess that's technically cheating), but it was a great pic, so I chose it.
January 22 - I was a slacker on Friday and didn't take a single photo! We celebrated Kellie's birthday at work and I made mini cupcakes that were yellow cake with chocolate frosting. So... just imagine a photo of that below. :)
January 23 - I'm making up for my lack of pictures on Friday by including two for Saturday. I got to spend time with two of my favorite people - my mom and my best friend since 2nd grade, Kristin. In the morning, my mom accompanied me to the Apple store to get my computer checked out (technology hates me). After 2 hours of computer talk, I told my mom I was in dire need of a mimosa, so we grabbed brunch at Fielding's Wood Grill. We indulged in flights of mimosas and had a delicious meal. I always love spending time with my mom, so it was a great morning.
After brunch, I met up with Kristin to go check out the venue she'd chosen for her wedding. We tasted some cakes and appetizers from the caterer and enjoyed a glass of wine (it really was a good day!). The venue was stunning and I can't wait to see it all done up for the wedding in October. I also got a sneak peak of the beautiful bride in her wedding dress, but for obvious reasons I can't share that photo. You'll all have to wait to see until October.
