I have been the world's worst blogger this week..I am so sorry! I will make up for it with loads and loads this coming week, promise! Hope everyone out there beat the heat during this first official weekend of summer. It isn't too bad here yet, but I know we are getting there.
As usual, this week and weekend absolutely flew by. Thursday evening kicked off our weekend activities with my dad's foundation's (UREF) annual dinner and lecture benefiting men's health and prostate cancer awareness. It was held this year at the Frontiers of Flight museum, and as usual there was a short talk by my father and grandfather followed by the featured speaker. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a glimpse of the mystery VIP... On this occasion we were all thrilled to have Colonel Joe Kittinger as the guest of honor. He has had many accomplishments throughout his military career, but you may have encountered his name more recently as an adviser and capsule communicator to Felix Baumgartner of the Red Bull Stratos project.
It was a fun evening catching up with family and friends and listening to some very interesting stories from Col. Kittinger. Trent stayed up a little past his bedtime but handled it much better than expected, and we are already looking forward to next year!
FC Dallas came back home after being on the road and played Sporting KC on Saturday, and of course we were all there (including Mr. Giraffe) to cheer them on. Unfortunately we had to leave early to put the munchkin to bed, though, and we missed the big comeback.
Other weekend highlights are few and far between. It was a pretty standard few days around here. We did a few errands today, and I got these fab new shirts that I am dying to wear. Loose-fitting racerbacks with a bright colored string-strap sports bra are my new favorite thing (for running, day to day, errands, anything), and I was in heaven when I came across all of these at the Adidas outlet for a great price plus an extra 30% off...I might have gone a little crazy, but 1) they are going to look amazing with my Mavi Bandz, and 2) I promised myself (and Matt) I wasn't buying anything else the rest of the day.
But then..I wandered in the Carter's outlet and wouldn't you know it....they came out with a huge line of fox clothes, and I had to buy every piece..in multiple sizes. Credit card balance, we meet again. I just broke up with you, dangit!
And yes, I DO realize these are the world's crappiest pictures. I don't have a good excuse...just letting you know that I know. I will get it together next week.
We stopped by my parents' house and then to see my brother and sister-in-law, and here we are. Like I said...nothing too exciting to report. But I DO have a lot up my sleeves for this week, so stay tuned! Happy Sunday, everyone! Add a comment »
