Recap of Recent Endeavors

Zach just informed me that I'm sufficiently behind in my blogging, so here's a recap of what we've been up to.

Last Friday we drove to Amarillo after our good friends Brad and Stephanie had their first baby girl, Katy Jane. We visited for awhile with them (she is the cutest little baby you've ever seen!). We then went to Golden Light, where I had my first, long-awaited burger experience, and man it was good. We spent some time with Zach's parents and heard all about Brent's trip to Brazil. We went back to the hospital after dinner, and visited with Stephanie's family until we got kicked out by the nurse. She has the nicest family!

Saturday was a lazy day, and we ended up trying The Vine- a very nice restaurant- with some of our friends. The food was pretty eclectic, and I had the hibiscus enchiladas. Afterwards we went to the rooftop bar and watched people try to dance- it was pretty amusing. On Sunday, Jill joined us for our new favorite activity, watching the Lubbock brass band at Wagner park. It's fun for people watching, and it always feels so nice in the evenings! I don't think I could ever live south of here again.

On Wednesday Drew was in town, so we cooked out, and Zach made the best burger I've had in my life- it was juicy and very flavorful. He's become quite the grilling master! We went bowling after, and Zach bowled the best game of his life! He bowled well over 100!! It was really nice to see Drew, too!!

This weekend was also nice! Our neighbor works in catering at Tech, and he gave us 2 free tickets to the Alan Jackson concert in exchange for taking his dog to potty. Alan puts on a great show! We knew every song, and he still sounds as good as he did 20 years ago. Gloriana opened, and they were really good too!

On Saturday we had dinner with some friends, and I helped out with the cute kids at church.

Today we ran some errands and lounged by the pool. Our good friends Steve and Laura cooked out, so we got a yummy free dinner. We also snagged some good deals at Old Navy! We are now at the park listening to the patriotic concert. God Bless America!
