So with all the reading of blogs I got into again (school starting, I need a break from lesson planning) I thought I would update my own! Not that anyone reads this, but there is something very therapeutic to typing out all of your thoughts. Hmmm. Anywho- it's a new school year and lots has happened since last February!
Let's see...
On Valentine's, I ran my first half-marathon! It was tought but sooo rewarding. Speaking of, I need to man up and get new shoes and start training again. I got a stress fracture so that kind of scared me away. However, everyone has reassured me that it's the shoes, so I shall go shell out a billion dollars (motivation to run now?) for new running shoes. Boo. Any suggestions?
I went to the Taylor Swift concert with Paige! So fun and I am such a teeny bopper, and sang every word to every song (but one) but it was a blast! I definitely want to see her again!
Now drop down about 28374 notches, and enters the Velcro Pygmies. These are by far the favorite concert of Steven, and they are disgusting buuuut they do put on a good show. You have to be in the mood, and you might want to bring a pair of earplugs with you. We had a good time- dancing to a cover 80's rock band.
We took a trip to Houston to see the Niko Niko Gryo Eating Championship and our friends Joey and Pat compete. I will save your eyes the images of the actual competition, but here are us with the number 1 (Joey) and number 2 (Pat) places.
A couple of us helped out with the Special Olympics and GenNext...track and field. Very fun and rewarding day! Here's a shot of the whole group.
I'm thinking these are not in order but oh well! Here's a shot (and the only picture I took all day!) of some colleagues and myself on St. Patricks Day in Austin! FREE open bar at Maggie Maes= heaven...and trouble.
We took a trip to College Station at some point in the spring to see the FTA Basketball team and we tried to bring as many non Aggies as we could! Twas a fun day! here's a picture of the whole group in the Chicken!
A fun night with the girls at a John Mayer concert- aka sexxxyyyy man voice.
And a little kayaking on TownLake....
A fun Girl Talk concert with the group...! :)
My birthday in June was a HUGE success due in large part to my amazing friends coming in town and the bf of the year putting it all together! Best cookie cake ever....
Steve's brother Tom got married this summer and Steve was the best man and gave a wonderful speech! Here we are at the gorgeous reception!
4th of July this year we sucked it up and went to Coney Island to see the hot dog eating championship! Had a blast! Here's the champ himself, along with other pictures and THE BEST PICTURE EVER TAKEN OF AMY! ahahahaha
Aaaand we were front and center for Kobyashi's arrest! I was the paparazzi!
Amy's birthday in Houston- we went to St. Arnold's brewery- my second fav place in Houston! Aside from Amy's of course...:) Here's the group of gals!
I went to San Diego for a week for work and got to see LB!
Who doesn't have fun on a night out wearing a moustache? :)
Austin Sport and Social Kickball (SuperSocial) champions! **I am their #1 cheerleader/manager
Port Aransas with the Dell crew (Steve's class) for the weekend was a blast! Most pictures I can't put up on my website, but here's a picture of some of us in the shark!
PUB CRAWL! We did a Crawl for Cancer this year which raises money for cancer research. We had two teams- boys and girls. The boys were beach boys and the girls were nerds and it was a fantastic day!
Lastly we just got back from a fun (and first for me and Steve) trip to NOLA for Steven's 26th birthday! I want to go back soon, that city is fuuuuun!
Last but not least- I have a baby! Her name is Callie and she's the cutest little furball everrrr!!
I hope it doesn't take me another half (or more) of a year to write in this again, but there was my year in a nutshell! One of my best yet, and I can't wait to see what more is to come :)
