Total Upset

This weekend was a total whirlwind.

I took Friday off from work and made the most of it. I got up early, ran out to get a coffee at the newly opened Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. With the energy from the coffee, I worked out, made a grocery list, returned all the stuff I didn't use for our engagement pictures, went to the grocery store, and then did some baking.


Saturday B and I  made our way down to Houston for my friend's baby shower. If you are familiar with the drive between Dallas and Houston, then you have probably heard of Buckee's. It's the Taj Mahal of rest stops. It has a gift shop, tons of foods and drinks, and most importantly super clean restrooms. If you ever find yourself driving through Madisonville, I insist that you stop here.

Once we got down to Houston, I went off to the baby shower and B met up with some of his friends in town. The shower was so fun and the host did such a great job with the owl theme!

After the shower B and I went out with one of my friends from college and tagged along with a Thanksgiving-themed bar hop. Unfortunately this is when the battery on my phone decided to die, so I couldn't take pictures of all the people dressed up like pilgrims, Indians, and turkeys.

Oh...then this happened....

 Baylor's defeat upset of then #1 KSU (along Stanford's win over then #2 Oregon) then led to this...

So basically, this was the perfect college football weekend for my dad, a Notre Dame alum, and I.

How was your weekend?
