Silver Screen Ball



Well, the last few weeks have just flown by! Nothing too exciting has been going on, just work, school, and baseball! Zack has been announcing the LCU baseball games, so he travels quite a bit with them and then is always at the games when they are home.

Last weekend we were in Ft. Worth to watch them play Texas Wesleyan. It was a really nice weekend because we stayed with one of my best friends from high school, Sarah and her husband, Brad. They just built a new house and we were some of their first guests! I didn't do anything, but watch baseball and eat really good food...it was great.

This weekend, we went to see Vantage Point. It was a really good movie. I am a huge Dennis Quaid fan, so I was excited to see that it was good, the last few I've seen haven't been great. Anyway, Saturday, we went to the Silver Screen Ball, a fundraiser for the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts. Zack's aunt, Karen, is the director of the center and invited us to go. We had dinner across the street and then went in a limo ride to the center. They had a silent auction, dance hall, band, and a ton of food. It was a lot of fun. Zack and I aren't night owls so by 10 p.m. we were ready to call it a night. :) Oh well, it was so fun to get dressed up! Here are a couple of pictures from us at dinner.

Fantastik!




Just a tidbit I learned recently. I was at a Christmas party at my bosses house, when Zack stepped on the beautiful white carpet and got mud on it! Mrs. Jones quickly got a bottle of Fantastik and wipped it up--spotless. She said it took out anything. Last night, I spilled bright red Crystal Light on my cream colored carpet. So, I tried my Fantastick & my Spot Bot (another great invention) and it's totally gone! Fantastick really works...:)

Ten Tenors, Master Follies & the Super Bowl!


Well, I cannot believe February is already here! It sure came quickly! This week was uneventful--until the weekend which has been a lot of fun.

First, I got new counter tops! They are so pretty and make my kitchen look new. Sometimes I can't believe I am at an age where things like new counter tops are so exciting...but I am here & they are so fun.

I am a Kappa Phi Kappa Sponsor and they are in the process of getting ready for Master Follies. They had their all night practice on Friday, so I made some cupcakes for them and went to watch. Their show is very cute, I am excited to see how it looks at the end of the week. I always love watching Master Follies practice because it reminds me of when I was in college and practicing for hours. Master Follies was always my absolute favorite club thing to do. I am sad I won't be in town next weekend for follies. :( I always love the weekend of homecoming events, it's so much fun.

I also went to see the Ten Tenors with friends. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but they were fantastic. They sang a lot of Italian opera, but also sang some versions of American songs. They are all just adorable and very funny. It was something different from the everyday.

Zack and I watched the Super Bowl with some friends from church. Of course, the guys watched, while the girls sat and talked the whole time. It is always fun to have some girl talk! Overall it was a good weekend--just a little short! :)
