Poor Reporter
Dave told me the other day that I would make a bad reporter, because I always post on our blog a week or two after the event has actually happened! So I said to him that maybe if he started paying me and it was more like a job for me then I would be more on top of posting. He didn't go for it!
Anyway I am posting for the week of November 27 to December 4.
I think I left off on my previous post on Departure Day (Nov 27). Well Dave's sister Jessica flew back to Texas with me and met up with her husband Mike and Dave at the airport. We drove the long way around Houston (a wrong turn was taken) and then finally made it into College Station. We attempted to go for Mexican but the restaurant was closing in 20 minutes so we decided to go to "Chicken Oil". This place is a converted gas station and has really good food. On Monday we--minus Dave (who had to be at school)--took on "Post Oak Mall". Mike and Jess were looking for a few Christmas gifts to buy and I, of course, never turn down a trip to the mall! We met Dave for dinner at "Freebirds", an amazing Burrito place. Tuesday, we all went to campus for a tour, and Dave told us stories and traditions of A&M. That evening we met with some of our friends for dinner at "Koppe Bridge" for burgers and Texas Toothpicks, which is deep fried onions and jalapenos and, of course, they're always dipped in ranch dressing. Mmmmmmm. So good. Wednesday we did a bit more shopping and we watched alot of episodes of "The Family Guy". We ate at a great mexican restaurant called "Gina's", and played cards into the evening. Thursday morning came quite early because Mike and Jess took the 5.30am shuttle to Houston for their trip home. We had a great time with them, ate alot and laughed alot too.
Dave and I only had a few days to rest and get the place cleaned up and the sheets washed before more company would arrive. Abe and Eleanor came on Saturday at about 3pm. They had flown in to San Antonio and drove the 3 hours to our place. We had a great time with them too. I made a roast chicken in a milk and lemon sauce (from Jamie Oliver's cookbook) along with Goats cheese mashed potatoes, beans, corn and a grilled salad! Everything was delicious even the ice cream from "Marble Slab Creamery". We took a tour of the campus and saw Dave's office, and went for lunch to a great fish taco place called "La Bodega". Abe and Eleanor left at about 4pm Sunday afternoon! A Short and Sweet visit!
Now Dave and I are relaxing and getting the place back to normal.
Now for some up to date activities that have gone on! This past weekend we helped with a Habitat for Humanity project where we laid floor tile with several of our friend from church. We finished the whole house by 11.30am. That evening we attended Dave's Department Christmas Party. It was a good time, with not as much Philosophy talk as I thought there would be!
And just to give you the heads up for next weekend, we will be helping with the final clean up for Extreme MakeOver - Home Edition!
And now you have the reporter's edition of the past few weeks of our lives!
