Weekend Wrap-Up...

Here is our weekend in photos...

I got my nails done Thursday to get ready for the Bama Game...

Friday Jeffrey and I went to dinner at Los Cucos and then went to see The Debt... It was a great movie and I would totally recommend seeing it

Before the movie I saw this cupcake and just had to have it...

Jeffrey waited patiently while I ate it...

Then after the movie I tripped and fell on our way out... I got this lovely scape and a sprained ankle...

Jeff was such a saint and took really good care of me... Im not sure what was hurt worse, my ankle or my pride...

Saturday morning I met, Rach and her sister Sarah for brunch at one of our favorite places...

I'll give you three guesses where we went  after brunch and the first two don't count...

We hung out and watched football there until the Bama game and then moved our party to Mike and Rach's, ordered pizza and watched the games.

Today has been low key, church, lunch with the soon to be in laws, nap, icing my ankle, and doing a million wedding things that I have put off for far too long!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!   

Freezer Friendly...

Yep that's right... At the Jeff Stevens home were all about freezing meals! Mike and Rach recently got a cookbook called Dinner is Ready and once they tried it out I was just dying to get one! So while I was in Pennsylvania Jeffrey called and informed me that he had a surprise waiting at home for me. When I returned from PA I was beyond excited at the sight of our garage... There it was... A GARAGE FREEZER!!! I have been crying in my beer saying how I really really wanted to make meals and freeze them but there was just no room in our freezer inside. Jeffrey, you're the best!!! 

Dinner is Ready is a cookbook that gives you freezer friendly recipes so that you can cook enough meals in one day to last you a month and keep them in the freezer until you are ready to prepare them. We are LOVING them! Everything we have had has been delicious. Tate and Mimi were a HUGE help and I couldn't have done it without them! The meals are for families so we split them with the girls and I can't say thank you enough for all of their help! I looked like a crazy lady at the grocery store and felt like one after seven hours worth of cooking! It has been so nice though coming home and not having to fully prepare a meal and not having all of the dishes to do... go ahead... TRY IT!

Labor Day Weekend...

Friday we loaded up and headed to Fredericksburg Tx to celebrate Madisen's QUARTER OF A CENTURY Birthday!!! Her hubby and our good friend James organized the whole thing to be a surprise for her! Most years we spend her birthday at Girls Weekend but this year we had GW in July so I was thrilled to still be able to get to celebrate with her! 

When James first asked us to go I thought no way no how will I get Jeff Stevens away from Corner Bar on the start of college football weekends... But I had to ask... WHAT! He said YES? Could my ears be deceiving me?! This was music to my ears and he deserved a hug around the neck! Eek now the hard part would be keeping the secret from Mad and deciding what I should wear. 

I have always wanted to go on a wine tour and stay at a Bed and Breakfast in Fredericksburg so this was the perfect opportunity to do so! 

Jeff and I arrived before James and Mad so that we could get the key and be there to surprise her. I wanted to jump out and yell SURPRISE when she walked in but Jeffrey thought we would scare her senseless if we were in a dark bed and breakfast yelling out at her when she least expected it... He made a good point. So instead as they walked up I turned on the porch light and threw the door open and said surprise!!!! Her face was priceless... She looked very confused ha. 

The Baylor v TCU game was in full swing so we went to Buc's bar just around the corner to play shuffle board and watch the game. So proud of my Baylor Bears for pulling off the win! 

Saturday morning we went to the best little breakfast place called the Sunset Grill. We all loved our meal but must admit we were all jealous of James and the deliciousness he ordered! He got Eggs Benedict but not your ordinary version... Right in the middle of his English muffin and egg was a crab cake! 

After breakfast we watched the first half of the Bama game then went to Becker Vineyards for a wine tasting and grape stomp! I was in heaven. 1) I LOVE wine! 2) Since seeing the I Love Lucy episode as a young girl I have been determined to go to a vineyard and stomp grapes... Dream come true! So much fun! After our stomp and tasting we sat on the porch and enjoyed some woodfire pizza. 

That night we went to Crossroads Steakhouse for dinner, more wine and the boys even had a few "old fashion" drinks in true Mad Men style. After we returned to the B&B to watch the end of the LSU Oregon game and called it a night. 

I do not know how we got so LUCKY but my girlfriends and I must have done something right because our significant others had no trouble becoming quick friends! 

This weekend was so much fun and I did not want it to end. I miss our couple friends so much living in CS because most of our friends here are boys and single! Rach, I know you can relate ha! No dinner dates, game nights, or bowling with other couples for us...unless Erica and Daniel come in town or we go to Corner with Mike and Rach. Mel & Marsh, Mendy & Alex feel free to read this and be very jealous y'all missed out this weekend haha...just teasing! Looking forward  to spending time with you all in the upcoming months! 

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY MAD! We LOVE you!
