Beauty & the Beast

HB & I have had a very eventful week! He, of course, worked all week :) & I finished my last core classes, practiced for the play, babysat, cleaned, cooked, and got ready for my family to get here. My dad wasn't able to come to Shallytown to move us in because he had to work, so I was REALLY excited that he got to come this week for a little while!

I have really impressed myself and HB with my cooking skills. So far everything I have made has turned out pretty good (knock on wood!). HB will get to put his skills to the test whenever we get our NEW GRILL tomorrow! :) I am soooo excited! It is super great and I cannot wait to start grilling! The weather up here is perfect for grilling... so I think we will be cooking out alot.

I totally just went down a bunny trail with the cooking news, so back to my parents being in town! My parents came into town on Wednesday and I made dinner and desert for them. It was my first time to use my KitchenAid mixer :) fun fun. Mom and Dad got here around 6:30 and I had play practice at 7:00, so we tried to get everything ready and eat quickly, but we ended up being a little late to practice (not a big surprise to anyone).

Our first performance of Beauty and the Beast was on Thursday & it went really really well! It is really fun to get to do something like that post high school. It was fun to be on stage singing, dancing, and acting. Stephanie is REALLY talented, so it was definitely fun to work with her. HB was even surprised with our skills - & he is hard to impress.

On Saturday night, HB and I went to a reverse auction for the Women's Protective Services in Lubbock. Hurst Farm Supply donated all of the equipment for the auction. We didn't take a picture - but I think we both dressed up a little too much for the auction. We were thinking somewhere between sunday dress and cocktail dress would work, but apparently jeans and a t-shirt would have too. So, that was interesting. We only stayed for about an hour because our number didn't make it through the first drawing. :( We were 1709. 1707, 1708, & 0719 were all called, but we weren't. Oh well, it happens.

I met HB's bosses and we enjoyed really great barbque, so I would say that it was a successful night even if we didn't win a golf cart.

Today was a lazy Sunday - We woke up late (yes, I know shame on us for not going to church), cooked brunch, and headed to my last performance. Once it was over we went into town! We were planning on heading to Home Depot, but somehow got side tracked. We ended up buying coffee at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and eating fried pickles & wings at Hooters (yummmmy). Then after the short detour we headed to Home Depot and bought a brand new grill! I am sooo excited! We pick it up tomorrow and I will definitely be posting pictures!

HB has to be up early and I am going up to the school to help out my mentor teacher tomorrow, so I'll post some pictures and call it a night! We love and miss everyone!

Much love,
