Annual Couples Weekend 2013....another success!!!! For some of you wondering, Jeremy and I, since having kids have always struggled finding time for "us". We love our children more than life itself, however, with two itty bitties, it can get quite hectic, crazy, chaotic, stressful, etc. To the point that sometimes, you even forget that you're married because you are in such a routine. Yup, it's sad. So- 4 years ago, after having Jaylee we were at a family gathering- and our cousins hit us up to stay overnight  in the stockyards, go out without kids, etc. Well, we made it our goal from that night on, that we were all much deserving of ONE NIGHT away from kids and so we would make this an annual trip. Thus being said, 4 years later, and we are still going strong!

I love this weekend. I actually look forward to it the minute this years is over. Is that bad? We spent this year in Bricktown, Oklahoma City. We shopped the outlet malls, a few of our regulars "target, hobby lobby, etc" and ate some amazing food at the cheesecake factory. Many of you will die when I tell you what I love the most there....and I do get made fun of it... but who cares! I know what I Like and I like what I know! So, now then. What do I love most at the cheesecake factory..... meatloaf! Yup, that's right! Meatloaf! It's just amazing, enough said! Delinda and I also shared one amazingly delicious piece of Reese's Peanut Butter cheesecake (I had never tried this flavor) My favorite flavor so far is the Red Velvet Cheesecake.... but I'm going back for Nascar weekend and am anxious to try another one! What about you, do you have a favorite cheesecake factory flavor!?

After our girls day out, we checked into the hotel while the boys were already in bricktown, touring all the bars there were. I think after counting all the bars there, they only missed on 2. So, you can well imagine how my husband returned to my room as I was getting ready for our night out....well....actually.... I was late getting ready...once I got my room key....and opened my door..... here is a picture of what awaited me....

It's ok to be jealous, I'd be too. This thing took 25-30 minutes just to fill. It was honestly a small feeling of heaven soaking in that thing. Now, as most of you are probably thinking "we all know what those tubs are for"..... let me clarify. The whole reason in getting this suite..... I live in the trailer, with a huge tub, that would be oh so wonderful, if I didn't have a TEN GALLON WATER HEATER that cannot fill it up. Since moving in, I have yet to have a HOT BATH and just get to soak! When I do get to take a bath, it only barely covers the tops of my legs, and leaves my top half freezing. How is that for enjoyable? Far from it! So...... my husband told me to splurge and just to prune myself in that tub. And let me tell you, that's JUST what I did. Instead of being ready at 5:30, I sat in the tub until 6:30, just enjoying the depth, the endless hot water, and just the quiet time, all alone. Ok, my phone was nearby and I read my newspaper, ok well facebook, and might have played a few rounds on my new favorite game Song Pop (please download the app, I'd LOVE to play you, I'm not very good though!)

After I withered away in pure wrinkles, I finally managed to make myself get out, and get ready for the night. I would have made my bf Megan proud with how long it took me to get ready.....
I really really loved my outfit that night. Although it was quite chilly, I didn't care. It was worth it. I had on some new Grace LA jeans with blinged out pockets, my corral boots I got from my inlaws for christmas and this new top, undershirt from Three Strand Threads in Canadian. (My new favorite store). When I saw this top, I would have NEVER bought it. But the lady got me to try it on, and I LOVED the way it fell! I love the vintagy look, the soft, comfy material, and I even love the bold purple underneath. I would have never put that combo together, but with some big circle purple rhinestone earings, with gold detail (yes, gold might just be my new accessory!) I thought it turned out rather cute!

Anyways, after dining at Toby Keith's Bar and Grill (who cares Mickey Mantle?) and then onto Hooter's for some more appetizers/beverages, we ended up at the Wormy Dog, jamming out, and having so much fun to our dear Stephenville buddy, Reckless Kelly. (Reckless was  a regular, almost weekly performer in Stephenville when we were in college.) So, it was definitely an amazing night. I actually decided to let loose, and enjoy myself and maybe get a little crazy myself..... then again, maybe not. Those details remain on couples weekend!

Next stop for Couples Weekend 2014---- someone metioned....VEGAS!?!?! Eek!
