SUPER FUN WEEKEND TAKE II

THE ART FESTIVAL AND MORE FUN....


So, at the end of the last few weekends I have been super depressed. I think to myself, man that was such an awesome weekend and it's over. I will never have a weekend as fun as this weekend was--but lately as soon as I think that the next weekend rolls around and I am totally wrong! This weekend would be exhibit 1!
Friday night Jason and I enjoyed an amazing meal and a bottle of wine at one of our favorite places to celebrate--Taste of Texas. The only thing we were celebrating was date night! Jason then took me to FireHouse Saloon where he bought me a pink koozie and we two stepped to Jason Bolin--so fun!
Saturday Ashley came over--she is one of my most talented friends. She has agreed to help me implement some of my grand ideas for our house--she gave me a ton of great ideas and now I am so excited to get started--Jason and I have made a list and now we are going to start budgeting for some changes around the house-so stay tuned for some major and some minor changes in the Knecht Household!
Saturday night we went with a fun couple from our Sunday School class to the Rockets game--they had great seats. They are a great couple and we have a lot in common with them! Katie loves to read, travel, drink wine and spend time with family. Her husband and Jason really get a long well too! We ate at Azuma before the game where we all enjoyed yummy Sushi (or Tempura in my case).

Sunday we went to Sunday School, Big Church and then out to lunch with our Sunday School class. Then we went with another couple from our class, Carrie and Shawn and their daughter Caroline to the art festival. You will have to stop by our house soon to see the artwork we purchased!
So--God taught me a valuable lesson (again)--that I should find JOY in everyday and just because one day was full of it does not mean he won't bless me with another one! Which, ironically, the preacher talked on yesterday--his message is something I am going to remind myself of all week--DONT WORRY, IT ROBS THE JOY FROM TODAY....

Super Fun Weekend!


Lady and Dixie Enjoyed the Festivities!
Lady was so worn out after a day of partying, swimming in the pond and hanging out with her friend Dixie!

The Grad and proud Parents

The crowd
Beth looking so happy!

We had such a great weekend! On Saturday we celebrated cousin Beth's graduation from college. Now granted Beth graduated almost two years ago but what is important was that we finally had a graduation ceremony--including the National Anthem, Awards and a convocation. And if you ask me, it is by far the best family graduation I have been to--I think we should cancel all future formal ceremonies in lieu of celebrating in Aunt Lu and Uncle David's backyard. Lady had more fun than anyone--she swam in the "spool" and in the pond, ran on the golf course and chased a live crawfish--she was so tired that night that she was snoring!! Jason and I had so much fun and feel so blessed to have a family that we really enjoy hanging out with!
Last weekend Mom and Dad Peden came in town--it was also a fun weekend! It was a perfect weekend because it was cold and rainy all weekend-so we had a great excuse to do nothing! We hung out at the house and enjoyed cooking from Jason and my Mom and watched basketball and movies. I always love it when my parents come to H-town.
That's what we've been up to on the weekends--we are looking forward to more free weekends now that the rodeo is over! Stay tuned!

Bagel Dawg Friday


I made the mistake of promising my court cordinator bagel dawgs on Tuesday. We all know that I am NOT a morning person SO Tuesday morning came and I slept in :)
So now all week I have heard about how much everyone would like a bagel dawg...so today I show up and this is the sign at her desk. So tomorrow I will have to wake up early to make everyone happy!
