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!
