Labor Day Weekend

Casey and I had an awesome Labor Day Weekend. We filled it with fun, friends, the lake, and shopping! It was much needed for me after the first couple of weeks of school (those are always pretty stressful/hectic), so I was super glad to have it!

Friday night of Labor Day weekend Casey and I went to Twisted Root in downtown Dallas. We saw it on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network. They make all sorts of crazy, specialty burgers as well as other neat stuff. It was really good!

Here's a picture of the front...it's actually a pretty cool atmosphere!

Casey waiting for his food!
Enjoying a night out with my cute husband! :)

Hope no one is offended by this, but it has a really funny story. I was looking at the sign trying to figure out if the sofa king was some sort of TV show or award, and finally I said "Casey, what is sofa king?" and he just laughed and laughed at me until I got what I had just said. The trick is obvious once you say it aloud, but I was oblivious.

Our awesome fried basket in the middle, and both of our burgers on each side. The fried basket included fried pickles (my fav!), french fries, onion rings, and fried sweet potato (SOO GOOD)! Yum!

On Labor Day Weekend we had our good friends Scott & Erin stay with us! Scott is Casey's friend from middle school and high school. They were also each other's 'best man' at one another's weddings. Scott met Erin at A&M and got married in January at South Padre. It was a pretty beach wedding, and my first one to attend! We took them out on the boat Saturday and had a great time! It was Scott's first time to ski and he did great! It was our first outing where everyone that went got up on the skis (besides when we go with my mom)! A funny thing happened while we were on the lake...we ran out of gas! So, Casey tied himself to the boat and swam us halfway to a marina before a man on a jet ski helped us out! Scott even got at the back of the boat and pushed while Casey pulled. It was too funny! There is a picture below.

I forgot to mention that Lucy went with us! This was her 2nd time on the boat and she liked it more this time than the first. The first time she seemed cold and scared after she swam. Poor thing!

Lucy & I in our life vests! :)

Scott and Erin on the tube!

Casey letting Lucy stand on him. She doesn't quite comprehend that she floats in the life vest and so she feels like she needs to keep swimming.

Our cute little family, minus Ella (our cat). Lucy looks so funny in her life vest! haha.

Casey pulling the boat to the marina that you see in the background. It was a long way, but he actually got us really close!!
Notice Scott on the tube behind me!

Casey playing with Lucy - he loves her more than I ever thought he would!

SOOO CUTE

Making himself a hot dog. I love eating on the boat! :)

I already know this is borderline obsessed :)

Scott & Erin!

Scott wants a dog SO bad, and Erin was having trouble getting use to the idea, or Lucy, but when this picture was taken she said "I don't want to move my foot because she is laying on it." She warmed up to her :)

Although there are no pictures, I must tell you that Monday was greatness. Casey had the day off (rare), and we spent the day shopping and getting things for our house, washing our cars, and we started watching The Lord of the Rings. It was our 2nd time to see them, but it had been years. They are so good. I'll try to post some pictures of the new fall things that we got for our house as well as the new picture for the bathroom and massive mirror for the dining room! It was a great find!

Anyway, that's our Labor Day Weekend in a nutshell!

Hope everyone has a great week! :)
