Well, its a little overdue, but, here is a recap of the last couple of weeks.
Besides school keeping me VERY busy, I also had some visitors, a birthday and a weekend away in Dallas (Well, Granbury and Arlington, TX).
The weekend right before my birthday, my sister, Annette came to visit me! We hung out, grilled some food, and of course, took her to the Horseshoe Casino!

This is me, after a few too many celebratory glasses of White Zin (Classy, I know) and Dallas with Michael Bolton.
My birthday week was awesome! Along with seeing my sis, I was REALLY REALLY spoiled with gifts and even more spoiled with LOVE from my friends and family. My friend here at Barksdale, Ellen, even surprised me with some delicious cupcakes while we were having a crafter-noon! So sweet! Thanks, everyone, for making it so special and remembering!
It really was a great way to ring in a quarter of a century!
This past weekend, Dallas' Dad (AKA Dad, AKA Big Dallas) treated us to the A&M/Arkansas Football Game at Cowboy Stadium. You see, we now have this family rivalry since the Aggies joined the SEC. Dallas' dad is a pig (An Arkansas Razorback to be exact). Yuck.. So it was only fitting that we go to the game!
We stayed at this AMAZING Bed and Breakfast
By the way, this is my DREAM bathroom. So Romantic, So Amazing, So Shabby Chic.
There was also a beautiful chandelier I failed to get in the photo.
Ahhh....
O.K. Back to the game.
Cowboy Stadium is AWESOME!
I literally got goosebumps singing the Aggie War Hymn again with fellow Ags....
and watching the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band at halftime....
And then I almost threw up from the lethal combination of a HUGE Cowboys Strawberry Swirl Margarita and the Aggies giving the game away. Come on Ags. Seriously. It was basically a replay of the weekend before, when you gave it away to the osu cowboys.
Dallas' Dad and Lisa (his girlfriend) got the rest of the day to rub it in and made me wear a stupid hog hat. I wasn't happy.
We'll get 'em next year.....
In brighter news, Monday was just the perfect day to fly, and Dallas did just that!
He had his very first flight in the B-52!
Ellen, one of my new, awesome friends here at Barksdale (The sweet one who got me the cupcakes!), invited me to go watch the boys takeoff, since Justin and Dallas are flying buddies. It was a beautiful morning, and we had fun chatting and waiting for the guys to take off! (We also looked a little crazy sitting by the chain linked, barb-wire fence in lawn chairs, but we don't care!)
That's them.....You can see the exhaust making a trail.
Go HERE to see Ellen's Blog, and a better picture of the takeoff.
(In our defense, it was really bright out there and hard to see what we were actually capturing.)
So thats been about it. Its been a great week, and my birthday was really memorable. :)
And, in case you were wondering about the status of Dallas' eye, it's all better! He still has a busted blood vessel that is slowly going away on his eyeball, but thats about it! :)
Have a great week!
Cheers,
Megan and Dallas
