Happy Halloween!

Hearkening back to Halloweens past, I think my favorite part was pouring out my candy treasure chest of an orange plastic pumpkin onto my parents' breakfast room table and arranging the different confectionery delights into my own personal candy castle.  
Perhaps I played a little too much Candyland as a child. :)

Hope your Halloween is filled with all treats and no tricks!

Weekend Recap!

This weekend was so fun!

Saturday, I went to Big D for a little shopping fun with my madre.  We started out with lunch at our favorite place in Neimans. :)

This chicken was delish!!

I may have also popped in to a few jewelry stores looking at wedding rings for Mr. G...

Here were a couple that I liked:

We'll see what Mr. G thinks ;)

After lunch, we spent a little time at Loft and Ann Taylor.

Next, Mom and I met my maid of honor at Nordstrom to look at a few bridesmaid dress options and buy my wedding shoes!!!  I LOVE the ones I found an think they go perfectly with my dress. :)

We needed the shoes because our next stop was my first fitting!

I couldn't wait to try my dress on again...and I still LOVE it. :)

After a late dinner at Blue Mesa with Mama, I was back on the road headed home.

Sunday was a fantastic day that begin with an incredible time of worship at church.

Then, I perused a local bridal show and found a fantastic string quartet for our big day.

But my absolute favorite part of Sunday was seeing this guy after he had been gone for 10 days!!

So good to be back together again! :)

Hope y'all have had a great Monday.  I'm about to dive into a little paper assignment for my class, so I will be spending the evening in the Psalms -- not a bad spot to rest. :)

Welcome Fall!

Hope y'all are enjoying a wonderful weekend.  We are experiencing a little bit of a cool front in our neck of the woods and it sure is nice!  I have had a fun, but busy weekend and I'll be sure and recap soon!!  I'm thinking a cup of hot cocoa might be just right today. :)

Hope you have a cozy Sunday wherever you are! :)

More Spring Randoms!

Another thing I found myself doing this Spring was spending some time outside in the beautiful weather studying.  Yes, I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I am finishing up a Masters degree I have been working on part-time while I have been working full-time!  I graduate in December and am looking forward to moving on to the next chapter!! :)

One afternoon I found myself at a wonderful local coffeehouse and partook of a newly named Italian Soda called Lake Waco!  I had to try it to see what it tasted like and it was incredibly refreshing!! :)

I also spent an afternoon on campus with a picnic lunch and some schoolwork.  

On a day like this, it was simply irresistible to study al fresco!!

Mr. G and I took part in our Friday night traditional movie night date!

We took in several good cinematic features, but on this night we saw Titanic in 3D and it was so good!!  I still remember watching it with one of my besties Megan when it came to theaters the first time.

We are also planning to go to the traveling Titanic exhibit in Fort Worth sometime soon.

I also discovered some favorite snacks.  This sparking cranberry juice is delish!!  I think I could drink it by the case -- so refreshing!!

I also found a love for mixing gummy bears in my popcorn!  :)  I'm a sweet and savory girl and this combo did not disappoint!

And I'll end with these little items that were a must have accessory for a San Jacinto day dinner Mr. G and I attended.  More details about that soon!! :)
