It's the Weekend!!!

ASorry I haven't blogged too much this week. I have been SO busy with tests and homework. I think I did good on both of my tests so I am happy about that!! I am still counting down the days till winter break!! Today President Bush Senior invited President Obama to come to A&M and speak. I did not get to go because it was just invitation only. The security was very tight here on campus today! Earlier this year I got to meet President Bush Senior at Big Event here at A&M. The story is actually kinda funny how I met him...

Back in March A&M held a event called "The Big Event" where students who go to A&M volunteer one day to help out around the community to say thank you. Before we headed out to start working they had a few people speak. One of the speakers was President Bush....I was so excited! Well after he spoke my friend Kristan and I tried to get closer to the stage to get a better picture of him. So as we got closer to the stage Kristan goes, "Mr. President, I was wondering if I could come up on stage and take a picture with you. My uncle got to take a picture with you at an Astros game and is always bragging about it. Could my friend Christa and I come on stage to take a picture with you and Mrs. Bush"? I was sooo embarrassed....I was acting like I didn't know her! Ha! I was trying to hide my face...until President Bush said we could!!!! So the secret service let us on stage and took a picture of us with him!

Isn't that SOO cool?! The pic did not turn out too great because they took it with my phone.


Today my friend Katy and I went to go see the movie Where The Wild Things Are. The movie is based on a children's book. I did not really like it....I thought it was kinda weird. I actually think it was a little scary for children too.


I am really wanting to see the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. This movie is also based on a children's book. I do not really like animated movies but I LOVED that book! Have any of ya'll seen these movies yet?


Tonight I am just having a chill night. I went over to my friend Natalia's house earlier to watch a movie. And tomorrow Matt (my cousins boyfriend) is having a party for his 21st birthday so that will be fun! The theme is Matti-Gras aka Mardi Gras. Ha!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend!! I am excited I get to sleep in tomorrow morning!! :)

Birthday's,Karaoke,and The Bachelor!

Yesterday was my cousin Caitlin's boyfriend's 21st birthday. We all went out to The Tap for karaoke night here in College Station. It was a lot of fun! Before yesterday I had never been for karaoke night...they actually have some good singers! I would be a little embarrassed to go up and sing. Ha! We always joke that no one in my family can sing. My friend Kristan's 21st birthday is less than a month away...then all of my friend's will be legal!! I feel old!

Cait and Matt
Me and Cait **********************
This morning I met my friend Natalia at Starbucks so we could catch up! She ran the Chicago marathon this weekend. She said it was freezing there! This is her third marathon to run and she crossed the finish line in record time! Congrats Natalia!

Anyone Bachelor Fan's?
On Dancing With The Stars tonight they announced the next Bachelor...


JAKE from Texas!!! He was on the Bachelorette last season with Jillian. I loved him...he was so sweet. He is from Denton, Texas where my best friend Kimberly lives.

I'm excited for the new season to start soon!
Well I am going to go get back to studying...I have a test tomorrow and one on Thursday!

Weekend Home

Friday I went home for the first time this semester to visit my parents. I loved the cooler weather this weekend! It actually felt like fall here in Texas instead of summer! My parents gave me these when I got home on Friday!!! :)

I was so excited because it had been two months since I had been home. Friday evening my parents took me to my FAVORITE Mexican restaurant - 7 Leguas. The chips and salsa there are delicious!!!!

My mom sent me the earrings I am wearing a few weeks back. There leopard...I am so into leopard this year!
Me and my Dad

Afterwards, my mom and I went to shopping at Kohls. I love Kohls...they always have cute cheap stuff! I bought another green sweater that matches the purple one above, a black sweater, and a cute top.

Here is a picture of the top I got...I love the print!

Saturday we got up and went to the Woodlands to eat at The Cheesecake Factory for lunch. I got the Firecracker Salmon Rolls...have ya'll ever had them before? There so good! And of course we got a cheesecake!


After lunch we went into the mall because my mom had to get some new make-up. My dad was THRILLED! Ha! He hates going to the mall....but we made him! :)


Later that afternoon my mom and I went to go get a pedicure/manicure. We were nice enough to drop my dad off before we went there! Ha! I got nails and toes painted a reddish color. It's called Vodka and Cavier...it's a really pretty color.


That evening I met up with some friends in Tomball at Cluckers (a wing restaurant). Then later that night my dad and I went to a new wine bar in The Woodlands. It was SO nice...I def want to go back with some of my friends! Sunday before I left I met up with my friend Kailee for lunch at Mels Diner....I haven't seen her since the summer either! I got back to College Station yesterday afternoon. It was nice to get away for the weekend....I was sure wined and dined. Maybe I should not come home for awhile more often! Ha! This week is so busy...I have two tests coming up! Ughh! Hope everyone had a great weekend and Monday!

Holiday Countdown

Wednesday's and Thursday's are always SO busy for me! My mom had everyone text me yesterday saying "Happy Wednesday" because she knows just how much I LOVE Wednesday's! Not! Yesterday I worked on statistics with my friend from 8:00 pm to 1:00 am. Ughh! I had my second stats test on Tuesday night and I found out today that I passed! THANK GOD! I failed my first test so I was really worried about passing the class. Today I had to get up before the crack of dawn to go observe at a elementary school. Afterwards, I came home for lunch and then went to my two afternoon classes. My class does not end till 5:10 so I had to rush to meet my Conversation Partner at Starbucks at 6:00. (I mentioned in a previous post that I am meeting with an English Language Learner once a week this semester who is from South Korea). Today I brought some pictures to share with her of my family. My ELL partner's husband said that my mom was just beautiful! Mom - I knew you would LOVE that!

Today at Starbucks I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte...it was good!


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

I am SOOO excited because tomorrow I am going home for the weekend! I have not been home since August so I am def. going to have to go to my favorite Mexican restaurant tomorrow night!!! :) My mom texted me earlier and was like, "I asked your father earlier if he thought you were wanting to be wined and dined this weekend"? Of course! Ha!

Well I am going to go get busy on homework! I have to finish a paper, write a reflection, and take a quiz before tomorrow!! I'm tired!!! Who else is counting down the days till Christmas?
Have a great Friday!!!!

Wishful Wednesday

This week's Wishful Wednesday theme is.....

'I Wish' I could change one physical trait about myself and that would be that I was at least 5 feet tall!!!

(What's one thing you have always wanted and why)

I'm not sure if some of ya'll knew this about me but I am REALLY short! I kinda like being short but I so wish that I was at least 5 feet tall! Ha!

I'm 4'11!!! I'm almost there!!

I think this picture really shows how short I am. This was taken at my 21st birthday party at a hotel in Houston in 2008. I am standing next to my tallest friend Kaitlyn that is like 5'7 (we both have heels on though). She is like two heads taller! Ha!

Go over to The Seattle Smith's and play along too!!

Weekend in Dallas for the Aggies vs. the Hogs Game!!

The Aggies vs. the Hogs

This weekend I went to Texas A&M vs. Arkansas Razorbacks game at the new Dallas Cowboys football stadium in Arlington. I left College Station Friday afternoon around 5:30 to go stay the night with my best friend who lives in Denton. I got to Denton around 9:45...it was FREEZING in Denton compared to here. I loved it! That night Kimberly and I went to Applebee's for half prize appetizers and drinks. We had fun...I am glad I got to visit her!!

Kimberly and I at Applebees - She just dyed hair black....she was joking that she looks punk but she is actually pretty country- Ha!

The next morning I left Denton to go meet Matt and Caitlin in Arlington. When I got there we went and ate at Pappasitos for lunch.

I love Pappasitos!!

My cousin Jared (who is Cait's brother) picked us up from their hotel after we ate so we could head to the stadium to do some tailgating before the game. It was a lot of fun!!! I want to start tailgating more often!!



Caitlin and I keeping dry under someones umbrella!!


Caitlin and Matt - I always joke that when I hang out with them I feel like where in the movie Me, You, and Depree...Ha!


The new Dallas Cowboys stadium...isn't it HUGE? It was sooo nice!!


Here are some pics of the new stadium inside...
Isn't that TV on the right side huge?! It pretty much goes across the whole field


A&M ended up losing but it was such a fun game! Probably the best game by far I have been to! It was neat getting to watch the Aggies play in the Dallas Cowboys stadium!! Last night we stayed at a hotel in Arlington and this morning I got up to head back to CS. I am going to go start some homework since I did not get any done this weekend! I hope the rain stops soon...it's depressing! And I hope you all had a good weekend!! :-)
