Check out Hilary on Faces of Beauty today!
Well hello! Long time no blog, right? I have to say I had the best of intentions in blogging this weekend, but every time we go to Dallas it’s a whirlwind of travel, visiting, and trying to fit in our old favorite restaurants. Turns out blogging didn’t happen, and neither did taking photos – well, except at the wedding (coming soon) and on my iPhone!
So here’s the rundown: we left from Denver Thursday night at 8pm and landed in Dallas around 10:45pm, picked up a rental car, and spent the night at Nate’s dad’s house (circa 1am by the time we went to bed). Saturday morning we got up at 6:30am, drove to Frisco (a suburb of Dallas) where Nate played golf with the other members of the wedding party and I shopped til I dropped. I ran home to his dad’s house to change, then went BACK to Frisco for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Bedtime came around midnight again. Saturday morning we woke up, at breakfast with Nate’s dad, went to Barnes and Noble, then went to Frisco so Nate could start getting ready for the wedding. I went and got a mani-pedi with Nate’s mom, then got ready for the wedding. Wedding at 6, reception til 12, after-party til 3. We got up at 7am Sunday for church, went to lunch with my sister, Nate’s brother, and his mom and stepdad. After lunch we went back to his dad’s house to re-pack, and off to the airport we went! It was a blast and we got to see so many friends but I was pretty stoked about just getting home and going to bed. Not as young as I used to be 😉
How was YOUR weekend? And do you find it’s harder to act like a college kid when you’re – ahem – OUT of college? 🙂
Steph says
Boo – wish I would have known you were in the area (I work in Frisco) we could have had a 5 minute blogger meet-up (although looks like your weekend was jammed pack). Glad you had a good trip!
Salah says
I love the photos sister!!! I am so glad I got to see you this weekend!! I find it hard to be a college student in college….my first two years were crazy but especially this semester I have been forced to grow up :-/
Sassymom says
LOVE whoopie pies–did you have the pumpkin? The chocolate one’s are amazing too! What a fun time this weekend!
Beth @kitchen minions says
Visiting home can be so much fun! We made whoopee pies last night, they are posted on my blog today. Oh so good!
Lindsay @ Pinch of Yum says
I was just eyeing some whoppie pies in a magazine. That name embarrasses me for some reason, though…
lpskins says
I am SO happy you finally tried a whoopee pie!! See??? This is why I am completely head over heals obsessed with them.
Heather C says
Whew! all operating on minimal sleep but cute toenails 😉 Glad you guys had a good trip!
LiveForTheRun says
Your pics do plenty of justice. Looks like loads of fun!
I find I can party like college, just not recover as quick, lol.
Marci says
I’m from Dallas too. Fun to see people’s pics when they visit. It was a happy time to be there with the Rangers win! And we love Le Madeleine. It’s based in Dallas.
Lisa says
I am dying to trie a whoopie pie! They look so good!
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite says
I can’t survive crazy weekends like that anymore either! Oh and whoopie pies might be the best.things.ever.!!!!!!!!
TheHealthyApron says
OMG, I totally know what you mean! The hubs and I are in bed BEFORE 12 on weekends sometimes…it’s sick lol. I seriously feel like I can’t party like I used to. Maybe not a bad thing but growing up makes me sad…
Joslyn @ missfitbliss says
Oh my goodness I feel the same way about my weekend! I had a mini college homecoming at my place and we partied it up way too much. I think I’ll need the rest of the week to recover! The pics of you are adorable! You don’t look bald you nut. It’s a cute headband.
lizlivingvegan says
wow that fruit tart looks SO good! If you recreate if you MUST post the recipe!!! 🙂
lindsay says
yea for Dallas. Thats where I am from. I love kiss FM, haha! Glad you had a great trip. 🙂
Dorry says
What a fun-filled, whirlwind of a weekend! I’m sure you are excited to be back home though with cooler temperatures. 🙂
We spent pretty much the entire weekend doing things for the new apartment…and a little outdoor exercise to keep me sane.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
We had such a busy weekend too! Its so exhausting!
Love your pedicure! I need on so badly!
The Wife of a Dairyman says
Wow! That is some church….huge! What a fun weekend:)
Natalia - a side of simple says
I find it hard to act like a college kid and I’m IN college! lol- I’m all about getting to bed earlier and waking up earlier… not exactly the popular routine around here 😉
Tabitha (From Single to Married) says
Looks like a great trip! I had a good weekend but that’s probably only because my sweet husband finally returned home after a week away. Thank goodness – I was missing him!
What Kate Ate says
Hooray for Ikea and whoopie pies!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
If I were you, I would be a dead man walking today. I hope you get some rest! A weekend like that would knock me on my butt.
KeepItSweet says
what a fun weekend! ha i wish i could still act like i was in college without hurting afterwards:-)
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Ahhh, I LOVE La Madeleine!!! We eat there every time we’re in Dallas!!
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun says
Mine was so busy, yet somehow relaxing. Perfection! Yours sounds pretty dang fantastic too. Glad you had a good time and took a break. 🙂
Matt says
I love Dallas! I am from Southlake! Do you know where that is?
Heather says
I DO know where that is! my hubby is from dallas and we actually have a lot of friends who are from southlake 🙂
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
Talk about a whirlwind weekend. Sounds like fun, though. I went to La Madeleine, too. Although I skipped out the back so I wouldn’t be tempted by the pastries!
Jenny says
I love whoopie pies! Looks like you had a lot of fun! : )
Kim in MD says
It sounds like a great, if not hectic, weekend! I do find it hard to party into the morning hours anymore. I like to be in bed by midnight! Aahhh…I miss the the days of my youth! 😉
