Top Ten Tuesday

Not much to update since the weekend. I have been working, trying to get over this cold/flu/sinus infection...(whatever it is), and relaxing with Daniel for the week. I found the "top ten tuesday" idea from some of the blogs I follow. It doesn't matter what your "top ten" is, and I've really enjoyed reading everyone else's!

So here are some of my favorite things today!

1. I am LOVING Pinterest. Seriously, what did we all do without it? I can't imagine planning/making/traveling anywhere before consulting this site EVER again. I love it.



2. Iphone apps that fix your pics. I have Instagram and Photoshop Express. Both are free and can do a multitude of things with your iphone pics. Why haven't I had these apps all along??? From sepia, black and white, to cute borders and themes, I will never have a bad iphone pic again!



3. Sunday Movie Night-back in action. In college, Daniel and I went to the movies pretty much every Sunday without fail. Its nice to have our tradition back now that I am in College Station for a while. We saw "The Debt". I know this movie got a bunch of mixed reviews but I love anything having to do with WWII history...so I loved it :)



4.Fall. So I realize "fall" is nothing but a figment of my imagination since I live in Texas and I believe the high yesterday was somewhere around 95, BUT, I love that it is "closer". I love scarfs, tights, boots, and can't wait to start wearing them!



5. Seattle. My best friend Emily and I are headed to Seattle to visit her family in less than 2 weeks! We booked our tickets several months ago and the dates have really crept up on us! The weather will be highs in the 60's, low in the 40's and we are going to hike, go to wineries, and drive to Vancouver. I am BEYOND thrilled and excited that I am going!



6. Fall TV. Anyone that knows me know that I have a slight problem with reality TV. I, self admittedly, watch too much of it. I don't care. I like it all. However, I don't limit my TV watching to just trash. I also love Modern Family, Castle, the Middle, and numerous other shows on NBC and ABC. If only I had all the time in the world...



7. Football. I love fall because of college football. I have never been too much of a fan of pro sports-BUT, I love college football. Maybe because it was such a big deal at my school? Either way, I'm glad its here. An the Aggies just officially accepted our invitation to the SEC. Next season will be interesting!



8. Getting Crafty. Mom and I are headed to Galveston to hang with Sara and make wreaths for fall! I found some great ideas on, (where else?) Pinterest, and we are going to give it a go this weekend! So excited to spend time with them both!



9. Friends. I was able to see some of my great friends this weekend, and I am so thankful for them. Its hard to remember my life without some people you meet. In fact, I don't!



10. This guy. Need I say more? ha!

Weekend Recap

This weekend flew by!

On friday, I drove to College Station for some meetings, and had a pretty busy day with that. I had been feeling pretty bad (like I had a bad cold), so Daniel and I went to dinner and then called it a night. We were going to the movies, but we were both way too tired.

The next day, we got ready for the football game! My mom was coming into town, and I was so excited for her to be able to come with me to an Aggie game. We parked, tailgated some, and then headed to the game. Unfortunately, football season in Texas during October is more like football season in July. It was miserably hot! I shouldn't complain, but everyone was sweaty and looked like they needed to pass out! Despite the heat, mom and I managed to enjoy the game. (minus our one point defeat to osu...uhg.) All in all, it was a fun time.

By the time we headed back, my "cold" had turned into a full blown throat infection. Awful. I managed to rally to hang out with my friends, and we were able to have a fun night. Today we are resting, going to the store, and getting ready for the week becauseeeeeeee.....

Tomorrow I start work filling in for an attorney (at my old law firm) who is out for maternity leave. It's temporary, but it allows me to work on other leads and possibilities while getting paid. When my old boss called me last week, I felt it was an opportunity I shouldn't turn down. So here I am, month 4 of living out of a suitcase. WOW will I be ready when I am finally able to settle down!

Here are some snapshots from the weekend

Meet Daniel's new friend. Passed out cold in a very loud bar. ha!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Galveston

About a month ago, Mom, Emily and I drove down to Galveston to celebrate my sister's birthday! We got to relax on the beach, BBQ with her boyfriend Tristan's family, and go to the Galveston Art-Walk. It was a really great weekend, and I can't wait to go back!

I am also adding some pictures from this summer when Tristan and Sara had me over for the weekend. We did some more beach lounging, riding around in his Blazer, and Sara forced me to do bootcamp with her in the morning, which nearly killed me.

I am so happy to be back in Texas so that I can spend some more time with Sara and Tristan. They are really fun and have a perfect little house that I love to visit. If they're not careful, I might just move in ;)

Vacay Recap

So the past 3 weeks were very good for me. For the first time in a little over a year, I DID NOTHING, and got to really enjoy some time with the people I most care about. It was really great!

The first couple of weeks, my mom and I got to enjoy our condo! We did a lot of exploring at the birding center, shopped in Brownsville, lounged on the beach, and made some yummy dinners. We mostly just enjoyed each others company. I was so glad that mom was able to take some time off work to spend this time with me. After this summer-we both needed a break.


At the Birding Center

The last week, Daniel took a week off from work. He really needed a break too, so I was so glad he could take the time to come down. We fished, relaxed on the beach, and had our fair share of pizza at D'Pizza Joint....our favorite place on the island (this is weird considering there is some yummy seafood close-by). We have been going there since high school, and they have the BEST pizza!

I will leave you with some pics to recap my time off! This weekend, I am off to College Station to watch the Aggies Beat the Hell Outta osu.....


Glam Shot, haha!


Pizza and Beer for Breakfast


Fishing on the Jetties


Beach

Beach love!

I have had some interesting developments in my job search, but I don't want to discuss them here until I have something a little more definitive to say. I am really excited about them though!

Hope everyone has a great week!
