Peek at the Week

So begins the hustle and bustle :) 

Last month I told you about how I'm making 7 flights in 8 days to four different states. Well - all that begins today. 

...I already miss my bed. 

Here's a little peek at the week leading up to it:

My dog doesn't quite understand this whole blogging thing. He has attention issues. If I blog in front of him he cries and pouts and makes his 85 pound presence quite known. Exhibit A. 

This past weekend I headed down to Austin to celebrate a certain little bachelorette! We didn't take too many pictures (and we signed a confidentiality agreement!), but here's one of us on the boat. 

Unfortunately the bachelorette herself was in the water!

These girls make me laugh :)

After a weekend of a good time and an extremely long drive back to Dallas, I assumed this position beginning at 3:53 p.m. And I didn't get up until the next day. 

By the way - I hate that my pup is getting older, but I love the lazy factor. He used to need countless hours of non-stop play, and now he's good with a quick winkie outside and non-stop cuddles. That I can provide, sweet boy. That I can provide. 

OH - and I watched Eat, Pray, Love on Sunday night. I was getting anxious about the whole "travel in another country" thing so I decided to let Julia Roberts show me how it's done. 

This is my favorite scene :)

Who wants pasta now? 
Who wants to go to Italy now?

I took a picture of this much needed reminder on Monday morning. I bought this a few months ago, but as I knew I was moving, I didn't really think about hanging it. Then, considering I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I decided I needed it.

I feel like I should treat it like my Friday Night Lights symbol and hit it on my way out to life everyday :)

On Monday night, my mom asked to do dinner at none other than Sissy's Southern Kitchen! So I met her after work and we got our fried chicken on! #andfriedokra #andmashedpotatoes #anddessert

This place has my favorite banana pudding....in a dad gum mason jar. 

All restaurants should serve their banana pudding in a mason jar. 

Mom got buttermilk pie. Isn't she just the cutest thing ever?! I love my little sweet toothed mama!

Then after dinner, we walked to Trader Joes because 1) I needed a few groceries, and 2) why not walk to a grocery store when it's only three minutes from you?!

I laugh at this picture. She just makes me smile :)

Tuesday at work, my phone went off and this is what I was greeted with. HOW ADORABLE is this baby boy?! I just want to steal squeeze him. And he's so grown up! How is he sitting up already?! He was seriously just born...ish.

Easton Blake - Aunt Katy loves you.

Tuesday night was a huge dose of Australia planning! 

My friend Kristie is going to come travel with me for a couple of weeks after I finish working, so we needed to plan some logistics. I went over to her house after work and this was waiting when I arrived. 

This girl has some serious hostess skills. Even on casual sweatpants nights. Remember the Grease! Live Watch Party? Yep - that was her, too. 

We snacked, chatted, engulfed pizza, and settled in for some research. 

Our planning stations - computers, planners, vino, and Miss Bailey :)

My view getting ready Wednesday morning. Ah, the life of a dog. 

Last night was errands and prep work for all the travel, but I snapped my dad this picture. We are hitting up two more baseball games in California this weekend (as part of my {30} Before Thirty bucket list), and my hats are in and ready to play ball!

You can check back on Monday for the Weekend Wrap-Up :)

And there's a little peek at my week!

Until next time,

Peek at the Week

Happy Cinco! May your day be filled with chips & queso, sombreros, fajitas, sopapillas, and adult beverages on the rocks. With salt. 

Round here we're doing what we normally do on Thursdays and taking a little peek at the week!

Thursday night kicked off the weekend (yes, I've always thought of Thursday as the kick-off, even if I have to work on Fridays) with a little mini-reunion. Alise, Lisa and I were all in choir together at Baylor. And while we've all lived in the Dallas-ish area over the past few years, we're really bad at seeing each other. 

So we had a little date night at HG Sply Co., where after dinner, Lisa and I ordered dessert and Alise ordered.....another plate of ribs. And this is why we love her. 

Friday morning we had a recruiting event down at Baylor, so Mercedes and I drove down early, had breakfast at the Olive Branch (#holycroissant), recruited our hearts out, and treated ourselves to some liquid gold before our drive back north. 

This picture actually puts a legitimate smile on my face. This drink has my heart. 

   
Between our 2 p.m. arrival back in Dallas and my 7 p.m. dinner date with my college girls...there were all kinds of crazy tornado warnings. That's Texas for ya. 

So I did what any normal girl would do - I crawled in bed, caught up on TGIT, and held this 85 pound dog who was clearly NOT to be disturbed by alarming weather. 

   
Saturday evening was such a happy night. We threw the first annual BRH in DFW reunion at the Rustic and it was SO much fun! Normally I only get to see all these faces in the same place at Baylor Homecoming - so this was quite the treat! 

  
Not all the faces I love were there - but for the first (of many) reunions...we had a nice turn out! PS if you didn't show we're shaming you.

I also took this goofball along to meet the crew. 

Because a picture in front of the "Welcome Home" sign was absolutely a must.

These were taken for two reasons. 1) I love them. 2) The Rustic just has a really sweet picture set up. 

Sunday afternoon my company had a firm-wide day at the ballpark. We all suited up in Rangers gear and watched the boys take on the Anaheim Angels. Jeff and I got there early (on accident), so I got to take a seat and watch this beauty warm up :)

       #1 Fan.

Y'all - when Jeff took me down there, I started freaking out. Like what if Hamels looked at me?! I kind of didn't realize how big my crush was on this fella until I was within range to hop the fence and give him a huge hug :)

  
Not the greatest picture - but as you can see I'm literally holding my shorts I'm so stoked. 
The kid on the first row is obviously not as impressed with Sir Hamels.

Then this one got jealous taking all my giddy pictures with another guy (so high maintenance!) so I took a selfie with him to make him feel better :)

   
Tuesday was SUCH  a pretty day. I worked from home that day so on my lunch break, I took the pup to the upstairs patio, opened my book, and he caught himself a cat nap. 

This dog loves a good sunbathe. 
And I love the ability to work in my pajamas with no make up and greasy hair (not pictured). 

  

So this next picture is a shout out to boyfriend of the year. 

On Wednesday I got an email that Kendra Scott was having a free earring giveaway. And I wanted the free earring. I wanted it badly. So I somehow begged pleaded flirted my way into getting him to run by the store for me. 

Y'all. Jeffrey Daniel STOOD IN LINE with a bunch of WOMEN outside of a Kendra Scott store. Gold star.  Medal of honor. Brownie points. All of it.

  
Okay - and I have to share this part. (Kristie are you laughing yet?) We didn't know this, but the free earrings were "build your own" at the color bar. With spring and summer coming, you would think he'd go for one of the 47 bright happy color options, right? Oh no. Jeff, bless his sweet heart, put together the darkest most neutral pair of earrings I think I've ever seen. And when I teased him about it, he told me he was going for "versatility." 

I can't even. That boy is my favorite. And too precious for words. 
...But I'm for sure going to try to exchange those earrings.
 

Last night was Parents Night at Brooklyn's dance studio, so I went down and watched that little girl do her thing. And she's adorable. And I was so proud of her. And she can seriously point those toes. She was best in class - fa sho. 

   They're going to be bunnies in their dance recital this summer (stuffed carrots included), and I'm pretty sure she's going to give Peter Cottontail a run for his money. 
 
And there's a little peek at the week! 

I'll see you tomorrow for Friday Favorites! I've been stocking up on some pretty fantastic favorites. So get excited. :)

Until next time,
Katy
