Superbowl Sunday

Although my team lost I had a great time watching the game at my parents house. I really wanted Melvin Bullitt (an Aggie) to get a superbowl ring. But it is exciting for the Saints to win their first superbowl. I had a great time and ate WAAAYYY to much junk food. I was all geared up and excited for the commercials, but they were pretty disappointing this year. Doritos commercials were pretty good, budwiesers were ok, and the etrade commercials were pretty funny...but overall not the best year for superbowl commercials.

Me and the hubbers... love him :)

Best Friends

Yay! for best friends. Last night my friend Megan came over and we had such a good night of fellowship and movie watching. We got our comic bookk fix last night, we watched Iron Man and Transformers. She has been out of touch with movies for a while so it is my job to broaden her movie horizon. We had a very tasty Italian home cooked meal, then watched movies (we went way past my bed time, I even fell asleep during Transformers). Megan brought over tasy fondue...some chocolate, ameretto liquore, and tasty fruit and snacks to dip in. I really really want a fondue pot now, it is definitely something fun to have when you have guests over! I can't wait to get together with Megan again...we always have to plan time to get together because she is always very busy with school, can't wait for a girls night! You gotta cherish those times with good friends.

Wii for date nights

Last night Drew and I went on a double date with Drew's brother Ben and his girlfriend Mikaela. We had a great time. The night began with a very tasty dinner at Chilis. We talked about going to a movie but decided to come back to our house and play Wii games. For Christmas Drew got the Winter Olympic sports game so we decided to play that. We had a great time. Here are some pictures of us playing Wii games!

Organized Cleaning

Normally my Saturdays are spent cleaning the entire house top to bottom. I decided last week that I would rather enjoy my weekend than spend it cleaning. I would rather spend my Saturday helping Drew with a project he has or just hanging out. So I have compiled a to do cleaning list that gets all my house keeping chores done through out the week instead of in one day! I definitely spent less time on my feet cleaning today and more time relaxing (which is what the weekend should be about)!

Sunday: put together weekly menu and grocery shop

Monday: Clean bathrooms

Tuesday: Dust and sweep floors

Wednesday: Clean tile floors

Thursday: Vacuum

Friday: Clean the office (all the mail through out the week gets put in there and the room gets messy quick).

Saturday: Vacuum again and clean the master bedroom

You may have noticed I put vacuum on there twice. That is thanks to our dear sweet dog Buttercup who keeps our floors saturated with fur! I even have a rumba (robot vacuum) that I turn on every other day in the living room (where she is most often) just to help pick up the fur. You also may have noticed that there is no day for cleaning the kitchen...that is because it is my plan that when I cook the kitchen will get cleaned up after dinner. If that doesn't work out then it will probably get done on Sundays after the groceries have been put away.

Game Night

Last night we got together with some of our good friends from College Station. We had the Dallas Newly Wed/ Young Married (NWYM) group game night. Unfortunately I forgot to get my camera out and take pictures. We had such a good time we got together at the Lovelace's house for very tastey tacos and spent the evening playing fun games and lots of laughter. We played Loaded Questions where a person asks a question and the rest of the group answers it on their own sheet and 1 person reads all the answers...the person who read the question has to guess each persons answers. The game gets very silly! After that we played Pictionary Telephone, on a piece of paper each person draws a picture at the top of their paper, then they pass the paper clock wise and the next person looks at the picture and has to write a sentence describing that picture then fold down the picture so that only then sentence is seen and passed to the next person. That person draws a picture to match the statement and so on and so forth until you get your own paper back. You want to end with a sentence so if there is an even number of people you start with drawing a picture but if there is an odd number of people in the group you would start with a statement. When you get your paper back unfold it and read how your picture changed. It got pretty funny last night. We had a great time and cannot wait to have another game night!
