October

Man oh man. So much has gone on since I last posted, which seems to be the case every time I post. Let me start with the beginning of October, which just so happened to be the hubs birthday. I had it all planned out. Danny was going to think he was going fishing with a buddy for the weekend and he would come home early Friday and open the door and surprise it wasn’t going to be Danny and a friend it was just going to be us. Well, that is pretty much how it went. He came home and I left a note on the door explaining the surprise and then he came in with this look of “wait, I am confused/I am way excited”. We went up to the hill country and stayed in a nice little B&B and then we had a guided fly fishing trip the next day on the Guadalupe River. It was a perfect weekend! Fly fishing is much harder than normal fishing or at least you have to constantly think you can’t just turn your brain off like you can with “normal” fishing. It was a successful trip, Danny caught 2 trout, some sunfish and a mino (let me tell you, it takes talent to catch a mino) and I caught 1 trout, some sunfish and a carpe. Both nights we went into Greune for dinner. The first night eating at the Greune River Grill which was delish!!! The second night going to
the Gristmill which Danny and I both thought was overrated. Sunday we woke up, fed the deer and went to the San Marcos outlet mall. All in all it was a fun, relaxing, never want to come home, kind of trip.





that totally doesn't look like the Guadalupe to me!
no this was not the biggest fish I caught, just the cutest!
yum, trout

Moving on to the next weekend where I honestly can’t remember what we did so fast forward to the 16th and 17th where we had a tailgate in College Station. We won’t talk about the actual game, which was a disaster, so we will talk about the tailgate. We had a perfect spot in Spence Park. Family and friends came; we grilled burgers, almost caught the tents on fire, had some frosty beverages and just hung out. It was a perfect day.
Bobby only has 2 more games to march on Kyle Field.

Now, for October 23rd weekend. Friday night was nice and low key. We went to Fuzzy’s Pizza to plan and book a trip to

and

SO EXCITED! Moving on....Saturday, I played in an all day softball tournament benefiting the Periwinkle Foundation. It is a tournament made up of about 20 teams where every team was guaranteed to play 3 games, round robin style, and then from there it was 1 loss and you are out. So I am thinking we will play our 3 games and go home around 2pm. Boy was I wrong! My team was made up of a bunch of people from around the hospital. We were the only team to not have team shirts; we all just kind of wore whatever, so we were a “rag tag” bunch. But, we managed to pull out the championship! That is right 7 games later, in 1 day, we won the tournament! I have never been more sore in my life. I walked with a slight limp for about a week, lost 1 toenail so far, going on loosing 3 and Danny had to pull my legs out of bed in the mornings. It is pretty pathetic but totally worth it! It was so fun to be out there again on the field.



As for this past weekend we went back to Fuzzy's (we eat to much pizza, it is a problem, we know) Friday night and then Saturday headed up to College Station to watch A&M beat the hell outta Texas Tech. It was pretty fantastic. It was an all around great weekend for football because Baylor beat tu!


Oh yeah and in there somewhere we sat up close and personal at the Carrie Underwood concert. She was and is fantastic!


As for November....there is a lot going on but you will have to check back in about another month. ;)
