Weekly Recap

Hello there!

We had a pretty decent week on this end...nothing too exciting to report. We were able to have four casual dress days, since a lot of people were out of the office at a big national convention. So that was very nice! And our friend Nick was in town for the week, so Chris went to dinner with him one evening. Beyond that, it was work as usual.

The weekend, though, was fun! I had a Girls Trip with Nadene, Lori and Angie! It was so good to get away and hang out with the girls. Friday after work, we left around 6:00...we drove to Granbury, which is where Nadene's sweet parents live. They opened up their home to us for the night, and we had fun visiting with them and their three dogs before heading to bed. Saturday morning, they cooked us a delicious breakfast before we took off for Waco at 9:00.

We got to Waco around 10:30 or so, and had a great time! It was Silobration weekend at Magnolia Market, which means that in addition to the normal things there (food trucks, their big 2-story store, the bakery, and the big green quad for games), there were also two streets lined with unique vendor booths. There were also concerts both evenings, and live music during the day, too! As such a big weekend, there were TONS of people there!! The store was quite jammed, but the street with the vendors was a bit better. We enjoyed looking through everything and experiencing the whole event. Afterwards, we went for lunch at a cute little place, and then did Spice Village, which is a HUGE indoor store of anything and everything you can imagine. I found a very cozy cardigan there and an adorable baby gift.

Around 4:00, we stopped at Starbucks and then started our journey home. We got back around 7:30 and I met Chris for Mexican. It was a full day but so fun!! Glad I had that time with the girls.

Sunday was full of chores, like cleaning and laundry and grocery shopping. We are all set to start a new week!

The week ahead will be fairly busy. I have Book Club Monday evening; I'm getting my hair done Tuesday evening; Chris had board meetings Wednesday/Thursday; he has a work dinner Wednesday and Thursday evenings; and on Saturday, we will both head to Waco for Chris to compete in a half Ironman event! We are excited for that, as well the fact that our friends from Joplin, MO will be coming down to compete in the event as well! Looking very forward to it!

Hope you all have a great week ahead!
