Weekend review

Unlike some weekends where one or two activities occupy all of our time (i.e.: furniture shopping, traveling, Aggie football, etc.), I think it's safe to say that this past weekend was a very well-rounded one for me and Brian. We went out on a date on Friday night (complete with Mexican food consumption, grocery shopping, and watching Dateline), I volunteered at the Museum of Natural Science for the Junior League on Saturday, we went to one of my co-worker's weddings on Saturday night, and we wrapped the weekend up on Sunday with church and lounging around the house. Sometimes I really can't get over how glamorous our lives really are...

Fortunately for those of you that prefer pictures to words, I actually took some photographs at two of the weekend's events, so you don't have to read my rambling for a change!

First, a few pictures from the Museum. They held an event called "Dog Daze" and people were allowed to bring their dogs for activities, contests, etc. I convinced Brian to bring Noah & Buster up to visit, and I think they enjoyed themselves:

I helped out at the "Paw Painting" station- this was the end result. Noah was actually much more cooperative than most of the other dogs, so he was responsible for a large portion of this "artwork"! 

Noah and Buster's paw prints on display! We are such proud parents :) 

 They had a "Pretty Pooch Pageant," and even though most of the dogs that entered were (a) frilly or (b) in costume, we decided to entire Noah anyway. Brian tried to sign Buster up, too, but apparently you could only enter one dog per family... he would have won, for sure.

I think this was when Noah spotted me and Buster while he was waiting in line and started whining... doesn't Brian look like he's having fun?? 

Brian & Noah lined up with some of the competition

Sadly, Noah did not place- that big brown dog (a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named "Whopper") on the left ended up winning!

Can you tell someone was a little tuckered out from the excitement? 

 Later that day at my co-worker's wedding... notice that (a) her cake was beautiful, (b) the view was amazing, and (c) yes, that groom's cake is supposed to look like bacon!

Me with my date... this picture might look familiar considering that I wore that dress at our own rehearsal dinner... as well as to two other weddings. Time for a new dress? Yes. 

Me with some of my lovely co-workers/friends! 

And of course, a picture with the beautiful bride, Liz! I love getting pictures with brides, but I also hate it because it usually makes me feel fat and pale in comparison. I know any males reading this are rolling their eyes, but any females reading this are thinking, "YES! I can totally relate!"

So there you have it. Hope your weekends were equally well-rounded!
