this week and weekend....

so this week i have been busy getting ready for thehalf marathon on Sunday. i think it will be fun, but i am a little anxious about it. this week the market has been better than the last few weeks, thank goodness! its sometimes sad to see how the markets are doing everyday all day.

this weekend started off nicely with a ride to work with Chan. we are going to go get some drinks and an early dinner after work so we car-pooled. it was fun having someone to ride to work with today. the plan is to go to BJ's and then back home to watch the episode of the office, the 'halloween' episode we missed last night which is perfect because it is actually halloween! i have decided though that i think we are going to keep our lights off only because we will be trying tp watch it and last year the trick or treaters came really late and also got older by that time too. i had a couple of upper classman high schoolers at my door which really kind of annoyed me. anyways, sorry... i know my kids will one day want to trick or treat but we wont be knocking or ringing peoples doorbells at 9:30 at night. thats creepy.

tomorrow i think we are going to go out to breakfast and then i have to run a few miles. i think i am also going to do my hair color again because i went over a lot of blonde the first time a few weeks ago it has faded fast and so this time it will grab a little better!! i love it though.... my mom did a good job helping me the first time... i think chan is going to attempt this time. tomorrow afternoon is Chelsea's wedding shower! that should be fun and hopefully i will get to see some people i haven't seen in a long time! tomorrow night we are laying low because i have the half on Sunday and need a good nights rest! chan said there is a big football game on and i actually knew what one he was talking about.... thank goodness for the ticket!

anyways, i hope to have some kind of pictures from this weekend and hopefully from the half. also, i am going to try and get chan to take our xmas card photos this weekend.... stay tuned... they are gonna be good!!!!

love you guys and have a wonderful weekend!!!

ok so.....

friday afternoon we finally headed out of the metroplex around 4pm. we got to abilene to bryson's moms house around 6:30 or 6:45pm. not a bad drive at all. we arrived with drinks ready and appetizers ready!!! it was great! we got to meet chris and nicole right away and their little boy Camp. the boys cooked the steaks and we all ate a big dinner thanks to the guys and bryson's mom. what a great hostess!!! we all went to bed with full bellys and we were ready to sleep.

saturday morning we got up to eat a wonderful breakfast and have some coffee. we went straight to the acu homecoming parade to see all the floats. there were some good ones. it was a short parade though and then we were off to go look at houses with bryson and tami since they are moving there in January... booo... the house hunting was fun for chan and i because it isnt so urgent for us. it is becoming frustrating for them because they havent found the right one yet. i remember how that feels. i just know they will find the right one soon...

after we looked at a few houses we went to joe allens for lunch and some beers. it was a good rest before the big game. we went to the football game after that against tarleton and ACU WON! it was a fun game and great weather...

we went to dinner at abuelos and had a great time there.... great food and great fun! we went to hang out afterwards at chris and nicole's house and hung out by the fire pit and just relaxed and enjoyed their great house! we were entertained by Camp quite often. chan and i hope we have as cute of a kid as that. hopefully we are that lucky.

sunday morning was breakfast at la popular.... only the best burritos EVER!!!! we drove around campus after that because we hadnt looked at it since they have done all of the updating and stuff. they are building a lot of new things and it really is looking great!!

we packed up after that and headed out back to dallas. i ran and we got stuff ready for the week.... back to the real world... we missed abilene.... never thought i'd say that, but it was true! we had a great weekend there and had a great weekend with bryson and tami! thanks again to bryson's mom for housing us for the weekend.... she was so sweet... even though i forgot to get a picture with her!!!

we cant wait to go back and visit bryson and tami after the new year!!!!!!

soon, my brother and sister-n-law and niece judah are coming to town for thanksgiving.... i totally cant wait to see them all.... they are missed around here a lot!


have a great week.... love yall

ode to ABILENE...

HERE ARE MY PICS FROM THIS WEEKEND... I JUST GOT DONE RUNNING AND I AM TIRED AND HUNGRY SO I WILL WRITE ABOUT OUR WEEKEND TOMORROW.... ENJOY THE PICS...IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! BASICALLY ALL THE PICS ARE BACKWARDS IN ORDER OF EVENTS. OH WELL!

oh ABILENE......

well we are going to ACU's homecoming this weekend with Bryson and Tami. Besides the year that i actually was a student at ACU, i have never been to homecoming. come to think of it... i didnt go when i was a freshman... i wanted to sleep in rather than go watch the parade! now, for the first time since Chan graduated we are going back for homecoming. i am really excited to see the parade and game and people we havent seen in forever. its always fun to 'go back to college'. i am probably most excited about my 'la popular' burritos and harolds and whatever other food we cant get in Dallas. yummmmm, this weekend should be full of good eating! on sunday when we get back i am supposed to run 21 miles for a training run for the marathon.... hummm that will be hard to do after a weekend of such good eating and relaxing. hopefully it goes well though!!!

also my hair is dark again.... i was having trouble keeping up with the blonde because a friend did it for me and it was hard to coordinate schedules. so, i am back to brown for the fall at least... maybe next summer i will lighten up again!!!

This Weekend....

so this week has been an up and down week in the market and here at work. i am ready for this to turn around. its a bummer when you hear all the negative stuff everyday...i know it will get better, but its just a matter of time.

this weekend is ending up being pretty busy for us. this evening chan is going to meet me at the Gingerman for some drinks before Tami and some other girls are going to pick me up to go to the fair with them to see the one and only Jessica Simpson ha ha, thats right, we are going to see her. i think it will be fun with all the girls!!

tomorrow morning will start off as usual with our saturday morning walk with the dogs. bentley, our maltese, especially loves them and we have to spell it out in front of her so she doesnt catch on and start freaking out too soon. ha ha. then i think we are going to work on our home office a little bit. chandler rides a road bike and now that it is getting darker earlier and colder he is having a hard time getting to the lake before it gets dark after work. so, for his birthday that is coming up his parents bought him a 'trainer' a thing you can hook your bike on to so you can 'train' inside while its dark or too cold or whatever. so we are going to work on getting that put up in the office so he can watch tv while he rides. THEN, after my parents get home from the 5k they are walking in tomorrow morning, my mom is going to help me put color on my hair!!! yes, i am a licensed hair dresser and i know what i am doing. i just need her to help me reach ALL my hair. i am going back to dark chocolate brown for the fall/winter! who knows, maybe for a while... it is easier for me to keep up with myself. then tomorrow night is probably football if i had to bet on it. lovely!! :)

i will post pictures hopefully Sunday and give you guys some fun pictures to look at for once! and this time i really will do it!

yall have a happy friday!!!

love, kels.

this weekend...

we are heading towards the weekend in full force.... it is almost time to go to Zanata and share some good pizza and good wine with our friends.... i love the weather right now and hopefully they will open the windows for us to enjoy the cool weather while we eat!!

we are excited to hang out with the Galloway's and the Sloan's! they are some of our best friends and since they are in Ft Worth we dont get to hang out as often as we would like. also, being an adult somehow makes you busy and we have been finding it hard to find a time to get together as well.

tomorrow shelby and i are going to canton with chans mom and aunt and should have a great time... shopping, corny dogs, and wine that night can't be too bad. i think they guys are golfing eating at two rows for lunch and then going to watch football and guy tv the rest of the night without the girls complaining ha ha. they are also being mr. mom's to our kids (the dogs) while we are away!! good practice for when we have the real thing.

sunday we will be coming home and have 18 miles to run sometime that day... wish me luck... i get nervous before long runs.

i will try to post a TON of pictures if blogger doesnt try to erase them again... the next post will be FULL of pics from everything we have been up too.

have a wonderful weekend!!!!

love, kels.
