My Week - Pictures Galore!

Longest post ever!!! Sorry I have been MIA the past couple of days...I have just been enjoying my Spring Break! I have spent most of my break just relaxing by the pool and going to the Houston Rodeo!

*********************************

Wednesday Kimberly and I went to the Rodeo to see Gary Allan. We always enjoy looking at the livestock, going to the carnival, and eating! LOL. Afterwards, we went to the Hideout to watch The Josh Abbott Band. The Hideout is in a small tent they have set up outside the actual rodeo for smaller bands to play in after the big performance. It was fun!

Friday we drove to Cy-Fair to meet up with my friend Kristan and cousin Caitlin. Kristan invited us to go with her to the Rodeo to see the Eli Young Band. Have y'all ever heard of them before? Mike Eli actually grew up right around where I live! Also, he graduated from the University of North Texas where Kimberly goes to school.

Don't ya love our pig noses? Ha! Thanks Kristan!We survived the Swine Flu!!!Caitlin and I enjoying our Cupcake!!!Cowgirls!!!Story behind pic: When we first took this picture we thought it would be a grand idea to stand on the blue fence. Bad idea....as we started standing on it the entire thing about fell down on us!!! We were sooo embarrassed...I think everyone was staring! Thank God we caught it before it fell because we could of got seriously hurt! Ha!Gig em!!!!Watching Eli Young! It was seriously the best concert I have been to in awhile! The band even jumped off the stage to shake the audience's hand!

After the concert we went to the Hideout again and then IHOP! We had a blast! Thanks Kristan for inviting me! It was so much fun! We will have to make going to the Rodeo an annual thing!

Hope everyone is doing great and having a relaxing weekend! I'm dreading going back to school this coming week!

Road Rage and Houston Rodeo!!!

I'm finally on Spring Break! :) How is your weekend going? Yesterday my dad and I went to the Houston Rodeo....we had fun once we got there! We live just north of Houston so it takes us usually about an hour to get to get to Houston. Well...yesterday it took us THREE hours to get there! Texas Department of Transportation closed down two main highways in Houston due to a gas spill. We had to end up taking all these back ways...it was a nightmare! I was driving so I think my dad was a nervous wreck the whole time! Ha!

We decided to eat at the Pappasito's which is located right by where they have the Rodeo....I was sure in need of a margarita after three hours of road rage!
When we got to the Rodeo we first went to the Livestock part! I love looking at all the little shops they have set up and the animals! I made sure to take a picture next to Miss Aggie the hog!
There was also Miss Bevo, Miss Raider, and Miss Sooner!

Saw em' off!!!
I love the birthing section of the Livestock Show where they show little baby pigs, lamb's, and calf's that were just born!

Do you see the "It's a Girl" sign? Bessy just had baby Isabel!
The Rodeo started at 6:45....my favorite part is the Bull Riding and Mutton Bustin'! Mutton Bustin' is kinda like bull riding. But it's when they place a child on a small sheep and the point is for the child to stay holding on as long as they can. It is soo cute! Usually by the end the kids are crying!We saw Toby Keith last night....he put on a pretty good performance! Oh and I was so happy because I got my funnel cake too! :) We didn't get home till like midnight....I was exhausted!Today I'm going to go lay out! The high today is 70 and it's sunny! What a perfect way to start spring break! :) Oh and my best friend Kimberly is coming into town tonight! Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

It's over!! Back to school :(

Friday was a lot of fun! My friend Kristan's mom got free tickets to see Taylor Swift and Kristan invited Caitlin and I. Thank you Kristan for inviting us and letting us stay with you! We had a lot of fun checking out the cute cowboys, riding the rides, and eating! Ha! The carnival part is really expensive now! Each ride cost about 8 or 9 tickets. So we split the price of 100 tickets for $50. We got to ride about 3 rides each. I was so sore the next day from holding on so tight! And a corn dog cost 8 bucks! We ran into Michelle, George, Lauren, and Cameron there! Also, my friend Natalia went and I got to meet her mom!


Lauren looks older than me!!

Taylor Swift was really good! She really got the crowd going. She said that she has never seen a crowd that big before. There was like over 70,000 people there. I got back to College Station today. Caitlin and I went to go lay out today by the pool. We were joking that college is the life! :) I'm dreading starting school back up tomorrow!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend and spring break!

I for got to mention that during the concert Taylor Swift introduced one of the guys in her band and when she introduced him he started playing the Aggie War Hymn song on his in guitar thing. I am guessing he went to A&M. It also looked like he had an A&M ring on this finger. So that was pretty cool!

I took this picture for Kimbelry bc she loves the Twlight series!P.S. I found this really cool website called http://www.picnik.com/
You can crop pictures, change its color, add stickers, add text, etc.

Taylor Swift and Goose's Acre

I'm about to head off to the mall to try and find an outfit for the Rodeo tomorrow night. My friend Kristan got us all free tickets tomorrow night to see Taylor Swift! I am really excited because I have never seen her before in concert. Caitlin actually got to meet her a couple years back at a concert in Atlanta. We are planning on spending the entire day at the Rodeo tomorrow to do the carnival and stuff. This is Caitlin's first time ever to go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!Yesterday, my mom and I went to go get pedicure's which was nice. I realllly needed it!! My toes were pretty bad! My mom always jokes they look like Mammy's. Ha! Last night my good friend Maegen and I went to dinner at 7 Leguas. Then we went to the Woodlands River walk to have a drink at a pub called Goose's Acre Bistro and Irish Pub. It's really nice because they have a patio you can sit on and it is right by the river. Sometimes they also have a live band at night. I wonder if one day if the river walk in The Woodlands will have as many restaurants on it as the one in San Antonio??

Happy Wednesday!

The past two days have been very looong! I am taking a finite math class online through Houston Community College. Supposedly its a lot easier than taking it at Blinn or A&M. The first test was pretty easy just basic algebra stuff. But the second test I am studying for is a little bit more difficult! I decided I needed to find a tutor so I can pass it. The tutor that I had yesterday, I found through a flyer at Blinn and she was ok.. she seemed like she wasn't too comfortable with the material herself. I was trying to explain to her that I did not like the method the book wanted us to use and that I wanted to use a different method. I mentioned since it was an online class that it did not really matter what method I used. And she goes, "well we need to be honest". I was thinking omg I just want to pass the test! Today I met with another private tutor I found through a university tutor website and she was very helpful! She is a management major at A&M and took the class last semester. She taught me all of these cool ways to work out the problems using a graphing calculator! Much easier and way faster! I think I will call her back and not the first one!!Tomorrow I am going home because I have a dentist appointment on Friday morning. Also, my dad and I are going to the rodeo on Saturday to see Trace Adkins! We usually go every year so I am excited! We like to get their early to eat, go the livestock part, and watch the actual rodeo before the performance. I am excited cause I am 21 this year and I can actually buy a beer
