Weekends...Always Better!

I am so grateful for antibiotics. Period. I am finally feeling better and just in time! I probably cheated on the Dr.'s orders a bit because I decided that no matter what, I was going to wear a little makeup so I didn't feel like a swamp witch, and by Saturday, I decided it was time again for contacts. We had a fun weekend planned to compensate for the rough week we had. We started out with a double date with our friends, Chase and Amy (who my sister and I set up!!) on Friday night. They were kind enough to share some free movie tickets with us, so in turn, we made dinner!


We had a delicious fondue dinner to start off the evening (Sorry I am taking the picture cause I still felt really yucky!)



This was followed by the girl's pick for the movie. We went to Enchanted, and I am still raving about it!! In fact, I am listening to the soundtrack right now!! If you have not seen this movie, it is a must see!! Makes fun of every Disney film, yet in a perfectly satisfying chick flick kind of way!



Saturday morning, I had a breakfast get together arranged with my cohort (those in my Marriage and Family Therapy graduate program and their spouses). It was a wonderful celebration as Allison had just walked in graduation, Neal defended his thesis the week before, Miriam just completed round 8 of Chemotherapy, and Blake and I were still plugging along!


I love this group so much. They have truly been my saving grace through one of the most wonderful and trying periods of my life! So glad the grad school is nearly done! (just the thesis to finish!)


Saturday night, Kyle and I met up with my brother Aaron and sister-in-law Allyson to go to an Aggie Basket Ball game! Go Aggies!

Sunday was a day of rest, but busy with preparations for Christmas. We are giving these fun decorations to his sister and her husband for Christmas since they will be purchasing their first home in the next month. We have been at this since October cutting wood, sanding blocks, painting, stenciling, etc! Kyle was thrilled to be at the end of the painting...can you tell!


We finished off the evening by driving around to look at Christmas lights and dream of the huge home we might be able to afford one day. I am so glad to be feeling a little better and have the hope of a wonderful week with family for Christmas! We leave this week, so only a few more days!!
