What I'm Loving Wednesday...on Thursday :)



I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday so here it is now!

I am loving that hubby and I are going to see Hunger Games tomorrow night!! I bought our tickets 3 weeks ago...I don't think I have ever been so excited about a movie in my entire life!



I am loving our pool!!! It should be ready in about 3 weeks...just in time for Spring & Summer! The 2nd picture is the flagstone, stamped concrete and tile we chose for the pool and the little round stone is the color of the bottom of the pool!





I am loving the new rugs we just got yesterday!! We got them from Home Depot, of all places. If you have a really good Home Depot where you live, they have awesome rugs...or check online! There are hundreds!



I am loving that we are headed to Dallas for the weekend to help host a "Stock The Bar" couple's shower for some of our best friends, Chance & Laura. They are tying the knot in Dallas on April 21st!

Big Texas Hair, Aggie Wives Reunion & A "Stolen" Tahoe

What.A.Weekend... But, I will get to that in a sec!

First of all...Baby Ella arrived on Wednesday morning and she is beautiful! Chris and I got to go visit her in the hospital on Thursday and I went back alone on Friday afternoon. Her Mommy & Daddy are doing great and have been sent home from the hospital. Here are a few pictures of sweet Ella:



Isn't she beautiful?!

Now, on to the weekend... I woke up early and drove to Dallas on Saturday. Chris was heading to College Station for the A&M vs. OSU game so I had made plans to go to Dallas for my friends, Laura & Lauren's, birthday weekend. I got there about noon and we headed to the mall for a little shopping and lunch. After that we got mani's and pedi's then had appointments at Dry Bar for blow outs. I have seen these places popping up in Houston but never been before...it is literally a blow dry bar. They wash your hair and blow dry/style it and that is it. No color or cuts. They have a menu to choose what kind of style you want and everything is $35! I love love love this concept!! It is perfect if you have a wedding to go to or an event and you want to wear your hair a little different than normal, but don't want some big fancy updo. Look how cute this place is:




And here are the 3 of us are after our blow outs:


Oh, and did I mention it is bottomless mimosas?! Yes please!

So, that night we went to Sangria for dinner & drinks. Laura's fiance, Chance and Lauren's husband, Hunter both came along too. My husband was in CS, very, very angry over the loss that A&M had just suffered...
We had tapas and sangria then headed to Palamino at The Crescent to sit outside and hang out. It was such a fun night and I love spending time with my fellow Aggie Wives :)


Sunday involved me taking an unexpected road trip thru some small towns and dirt roads in the middle of nowhere Texas to try to get to College Station. I almost ran over 2 chiwawa's on a dirt road in the country...it was crazy. But, thank the Lord for my GPS, I finally got to CS. I made this unexpected trip to CS because Chris thought his Tahoe had been stolen. Long story short- we found it 5 minutes after I got there. We raced back to Houston so we could spend a couple hours together before he had to fly off to Birmingham for work for 24 hours. Whew!

It was eventful to say the least ;) I am happy that the next 2 weekends we are both in town together and during the weeks we finally have some free nights.

Happy Monday, Yall! Hope you had a great weekend!

WEEKEND RECAP

This weekend Chris and I got to be part of our good friends Hunter & Lauren's wedding in Denton, Texas. We had so much fun spending time with our favorite Dallas friends and celebrating with Hunter & Lauren. The wedding was beautiful and so much fun...we were honored to be part of their big day! Chris and Hunter are fraternity brothers from A&M and have been friends for years. I met Lauren at their fraternity's alumni weekend in Dallas last July and Lauren and I have been great friends every since! Here are a few pictures from their wedding weekend:







Congratulations Hunter & Lauren!!!!!
