Cheers to the Weekend!!

Well Ladies and Gentleman the weekend is upon us, and that is just too wonderful!!  It has been an extremely long and busy week.  Since I haven't written in a while lets get caught up on last weekends festivities. 

Friday night Tommy flew into Houston for the A&M vs. Missouri game.  I picked him up at the airport and we head straight to College Station.  It had been a long week for me with trying to get settled into my new place and keep up with everything at work I was ragged, but it was Halloween weekend so I had to get the gumption up to go out.  That evening I met up with friends, once everyone was dressed in their respective costumes it was time to hit the town.  We went to several house parties and Northgate (the strip of bars in College Station)  It was a fun evening, but old grandma Jones over here was ready for bed before we went out! Being in the working world real changes your internal clock, getting up at 4:30 makes staying out late a difficult task.

Saturday morning I was up at ready for some Fightn Texas Aggie Football.  Since my cousin was taking his PE exam he gave Christy's boyfriend his ticket therefore Christy and Justin both got to sit with me! It was an exciting game in the football world, but a TERRIBLE game for the Aggies.  Oh well you can win them all!

After the devastating game we were tired and hungry, since the weather was absolutely perfect (70's with a cool breeze, jealous?) we decided to grill some steaks.  I ran to the grocery store and got steaks, potatoes, corn, and garden veggies.  It was a delicious meal and we topped it off with some Pumpkin Ginger Cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting that I made earlier.

Sunday morning I got up and made everyone pancakes, bacon, and hashbrowns it was a fun and yummy family breakfast.  After breakfast Christy and Justin had to study so I took Christy's dog on a walk...well let me rephrase Christy's dog took me for a run!  It was another wonderful day so I couldn't pass up being outside basking in the wonderful weather (yes Northerners I am bragging)  :)  That afternoon Tommy and I drove back to Houston to get him on a plane to Midland.  The rest of the evening was spent getting groceries and relaxing. 

This week was a hectic one at work as long as we make it through November we will be good to go!  My evenings were filled with working out and shopping for the dinner party we were having on Thursday.  I spent most of Wednesday evening buying and prepping the food for Thursday.  For dinner I made Chili in garlic cheese bread bowls, with a chips and Queso appetizer, and pumpkin pie for desert.  Thankfully everything turned out really well and there wasn't much food left over. 

Home made Pumpkin Pie!

Getting ready for Fall with some decorations.

Well its the weekend so its time to get out there do something fun!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend

Until next time...
