InstaFriday Link Up

Hello my blogging friends! It is Friday again. Lets look back at what this week held. 

I am linking up with the great Jeannett @ Life Rearranged. 

MNF! Anthony and I had some friends over to watch the Texans become 5-0! They were playing the New Jersey Jets. Even though I was all about the Texans winning. I had to cheer on # 11 from the Jets. Jeremy Kerley! We went to college together. He had a pretty good game!

Blue has been extremely cuddly lately. She was distracted by something when I tried to take a picture the other day. Look how fluffy she is!! Also look at super cute brown jacket hanging in the back ground. My mom and I found it on SUPER sale at this store in Graham, Texas. The store was closing in 2 days and trying to get rid of everything. 

So a couple months ago, I was leaving town and this ADORABLE puppy ran in front of my truck. I ended up taking it to the shelter because I was on my way out of town for a week. He was by far the cutest thing ever. On the way to the shelter he fell fast asleep in the truck and was snoring!  I put his picture on Facebook in hopes that someone would possibly want him. A friend that I use to live overseas with happen to be living in the same town as me and saw his picture. He went and adopted the young puppy. This is a picture of Willie from yesterday. He is almost 70 lbs and " crazy laid back"

Julie and I went to dinner last night at Carabas. Super freaking yummy by the way. As we were leaving the sky just look absolutely amazing. So I had to take a picture

I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. I have made more wreaths (3) this year than I have ever made. This one was made for Anthony's house. 

Julie's boyfriend came to town for a couple days. So we made sure that we all got together for dinner one night. Also made sure that we rocked his world by putting some Chuys creamy jalapeno and queso together. 

Last but not least. Judith! She was super sad while Anthony was packing for his trip to Austin. She looked like she was going to cry. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend! 

Surprise Party!!!

My usual Monday post is a Dear Monday. Today is going to be different. I want to recap on the surprise birthday party I threw for my boyfriend last night. I am thankful that I had a TON of help. It was not as easy as I originally thought it would be.  BUT... he was super surprised and that made me so excited!! Here are some pictures........

 This was the awesome Batman Happy 27 Birthday Banner that I got.

 

Yummy cupcakes from The original Cupcakery. Party City now has personalized candles, balloons  confetti, EVERYTHING you could ask for!!  

We got 2 dozen of them! 

The old photos of Anthony that I found and put on display 

The appetizer/dessert table

Stupid Rain :(

The outside of the party!

A collage of majority of the people there!! ...... and of course a picture of the birthday boy!! 

My roommate Julie also did a mini recap of the party and said some very nice things. I am truly blessed to have a great roommate and friend.  (Isn't she beautiful?) 

That is all :) 

6th Edition

Dear Monday- Only several more of you until school/work starts 

Dear Spaghetti Night- Excited for Anthony's true spaghetti tonight. Get to spend time with some fun people 

Dear Tennis- I really enjoy you!! I need to buy a new racket though, but I am slowly starting to learn new shots vs. just playing tennis 

Dear Roommate- I am really excited that you are coming back in a couple weeks. Don't get me wrong, I know you love being in El Paso with the man. But I miss you!!! I miss our dinner nights and I miss Pei Wei with you!!! I miss joking about weddings etc with you!!

Dear Netflix- You are SO damn addicting. Its retarded. 

Dear Running- Grrr... you are slowly but surely becoming fun and the runs are slowly getting longer. Almost up to 12 minutes!! 

Gorgeous weather

The weather in Houston for the past several days has been absolutely glorious. It made for an exciting and out-door filled weekend.

Saturday: Granted I did have to work for almost 7 hours. I am thankful for the fact that it was outside. We had two baseball games scheduled. So, I planned accordingly for the most part. I brought my lawn chair, charged my IPad, and prepared to get some sun. What I did not prepare for was HOW much sun I would get in such a short period of time. I burnt the tops of my thighs and now have a lovely shorts tan line. Granted the games ran a little long, by 6 I was more than ready to get going.

                                                    Opps :)

                                         But it was such a pretty day that I couldn't not get some sun! 

The dinner portion of Saturday night was entertaining to say the least. I ended up going to dinner to help celebrate a friend passing her graduate school comps. But the evening ended up being me sitting on the far inside of a booth, trying to hide my face out of embarrassment of several drunk people with us. It was so bad that the friend who we were celebrating, we had to go back and apologize to the waiter, AND the manager. The managers response was " Yes, I heard about your table" 

Sunday afternoon was quite the perfect day! My roommate and I decided to take a trip to College Station so that we could eat at Rosa's Tacos. I absolutely LOVE Rosa's. Probably more for the college memories of Tuesday night dinner there, rather than the food actually being that great.

                         I pretty much put the queso on all of it, so its unhealthy to boot

After our delicious meal, we drove home a different route. The entire trip was absolutely beautiful. The sun was shining and the bluebonnets were out and a bloom. That is one of the nice things that about living in the "country" rather than in a big city. Once back at home, we changed into swim suits and layed out by the pool. Got to listen to a very intelluctal conversations on tattoos by a group of 4 people. The oldest being around 45 and we think the youngest was 19. So it was interesting to hear their views and how the conversation went. Needless to say, when we left, I am sure I was 10 points dumber on the IQ scale though.


                                      The pool looked so inviting, but I didn't get it

The evening ended with a trip to Walmart and a decent nights rest!! The good part...the boyfriend comes home tonight!!
