Another lazy weekending

Well folks, another low key weekend is in the books!

This weekend consisted of:

cleaning

cooking

laundry

cozy clothes

We started off the weekend at dinner with friends, which was delicious! We tried this place called Lazaranda in Addison:

From there, we laid low for the rest of the weekend. Mark starts taking his first architectural exam on Monday (he has to pass 7 tests in order to be called an architect) so he was studying hardcore all weekend. 

It was in the low 40's all weekend so I made this cheeseburger soup for lunch on Saturday. It smelled really good and was the perfect meal for our cold weather!

If you've got a good ear, you know I was jamming to this album for most of the weekend:

I bought an actual CD for the first time in at least 8 years. T. Swift typically isn't my jam but I caved and I'm loving it!!!

Mark took a study break and hung the art he gave me for our anniversary. We added it to the gallery wall. 

Saturday night consisted of Mark in his office and me doing this:

I'm sure no one can guess what I was watching...

True story. I did eight loads of laundry. Neither of us know how that happened!

After church on Sunday I finally (!!!) made it to the rec, renewed my membership, and got in a good 2 miles on the treadmill. I've got to get back into my groove to tackle the upcoming holiday season!

I came home, vacuumed the house, and spent some quality time with this one:

I taught her a little trick in about 5 minutes:

She's the best! 

I had a lot of down time, so I changed up my phone background too. You like it? ;)

I'm getting way too accustomed to these boring, awesome weekends. Anyone with me on just hibernating for winter???

Happy Monday!!! Only 8 workdays until Thanksgiving!!! Linking up here with B loved Boston!

Whirlwind Weekend

Y'all.

 

Monday is here WAY faster than usual. This weekend was jam packed with activities, so I pretty much had no weekend. It was a great weekend though, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

 

Saturday morning I met Brittany and family/friends bright and early at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. From there, we hightailed it to Cowboys Stadium for some tailgating and the Texas A&M vs. Arkansas football game. I wore black so as to remain neutral, but I found myself cheering gently for the Hogs throughout the game. It was fun not having any real feelings attached and the Aggies ended up winning in overtime. From there, we went back to the Gaylord for dinner and caught a glimpse of a few Cowboys players including Dez Bryant. I headed home around 11 and went straight to bed!

 

Sunday morning Mark and I got up and met some friends at Texas Roadhouse for lunch before heading to Six Flags over Texas. It has been 7 years since I've been there and even more for Mark. It was interesting having a new view on the park! We wandered around and rode LOTS of rides (I'm still as wimpy as I was before) and walked about 5 miles. Back to the house at 7pm meant I had time to write this post and try to unwind before heading to bed to start the week.

 

PHEW. It was a crazy fun whirlwind weekend. Is it Friday yet?

 

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw a few snippets of my weekend. Here are those and the rest of the pics from the weekend:
