Mellow Mondays!

So I have been following numerous blogs that do fun theme posts on certain days of the week... so I thought I'll take a shot at it!  Here is my game plan... Mellow Mondays, Wordless Wednesdays and  every now and again Fashion Friday!  I know you all are super excited to get this new fun blogging started so here goes nothing!

Mellow Mondays!
The past few weeks have been quite busy for the Ingram family so we were blessed this weekend with few things to do on our list... Friday, we finally received our long awaited living room furniture we ordered back in July; Saturday was filled with a good ole garage sale, Kids in The Kitchen event (I'm on this committee for Junior League), a baby shower and dinner out with friends; Sunday - church, lunch and lots of laying on our new sofa!  It was a fantastic weekend.  But now it is Monday... back to work and back to the office!

In other news I believe "fall" is officially here... well as much as it can be for Texas.  It is still in the 70's during the day... maybe even 80's but down in the 60's at night!  That is a HUGE upgrade for weather than we have had the past few months.  I have officially switched our my summer cloths for my fall/winter wardrobe which is very exciting since I haven't worn any of them since February!  It is almost like a new closet.

And as I write this post, I'm lounging on our new sofa (I'll do a separate post with photo and the full story soon) watching the exciting Texas Rangers fight it out with the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series... come on Rangers!!!!  We believe!!!!

Well, I hope you all had a mellow Monday like we have had!  Enjoy your Monday evening and goooo Rangers!



On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.  I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."  Mark 2:17

Lately...

This week is the first "normal week" in a while... finally back in the office, and busy busy busy!  We had a great time traveling this fall, but we are excited to be home for a while till our next trip.

Two weekends ago, Jay and I drove up to Dallas for the Texas A&M vs. Arkansas football game, enjoyed the Texas State Fair (a little too much by the way) and had a fabulous time with family.  Jessica and Spencer (Jay's sister and husband) even flew in for the weekend!  We had a great time and look forward to that weekend every year!

I then stayed up in Ft. Worth for the rest of the week attending a conference.  I had a wonderful time and learned a TON... it was great to be able to drive home at the end of the conference and not have to spend a day traveling in airports and planes!

Then last weekend we enjoyed a sleepy Saturday with lots of college football watching and a night out on the town for The Woodlands Home Town Heros Gala.  We were so excited to get to catch the end of the Texas A&M game in the hotel bar... the last few weeks have been rough for the Ags, but last weekend was a good win!  And Sunday we headed down town for the Texans game... what a heartbreaker ending.  I have never seen a stadium clear out so quickly and with a sever thunderstorm outside also.  We ran to the car and were completely drenched, then sat in parking lot traffic for a good 30 minutes or so.   Oh well... we still had a great time at the game, even though we lost.

So this week has been somewhat back to normal with work and catching up on my house chores.  This weekend is going to be filled with fun festivities, bachlor party for Jay's buddy Brad, baby shower for a friend of mine, and a bachelorette party for Skyler.  We are looking forward to celebrating these exciting events and also looking forward to a relaxing Sunday of church and football watching on the couch!

Here are a few of the photos from the last few weeks... more on our Texas State Fair experience later... It deserves it own post!

 In line at Fletchers Corny dogs!  First stop at the Fair!

 Fun memories... everyone has their beer and Fletchers corny dog... doesn't get much better than that!

 At the IFEA Conference... the CVB won the Gold Pinnacle award for best newsletter!  Very exciting!

At the Texans game!  Good game but sad ending!
