Locked Out...

Oh man, I FINALLY got back into my blog after being locked out for almost a week!  I don't know what happened, but I couldn't remember any of the passwords to any of my email accounts so that I could reset this one!  Anyway...This past week has been a busy one!  I decided to join The Gym in Jourdanton and am so excited!  It's only about 15 minutes away from our house as opposed to the hour away that my previous gym was.  Such a nice change!  I've been doing really good with working out...Ran Monday, did BodyCombat AND BodyFlow Tuesday, did Zumba last night, and BodyPump tonight!  Maybe I'll become a "gym rat" and get a rockin' body someday!! 

Oh, last Friday, Justin and I traveled to Houston (The Woodlands to be exact) to see Tom Petty & ZZ Top in concert!  My mom bought our tickets and backstage passes & my Dad paid for our HUGE hotel room!  We met up with our family friends, Steve, Michelle, and Jordan Anderson, and her friend, Megan.  We were all so excited about this backstage pass business and couldn't hardly wait to get in the doors and see what it was all about.  Well, it was awesome.  At first.  Since we got there at 5:30 (concert was at 7:30) to get backstage, we were some of the first ones through the doors.  We found the area that we were TOLD we needed to go to and went in.  It was a covered patio with picnic tables.  There were fruit & veggie trays, sandwiches, and chicken strips.  There was also a full open bar.  We had enjoyed this for about an hour when a man came up and told us that we were in the wrong area.  Okay.  Maybe we're going to an even more awesome area.  NOT SO MUCH.  He took us to another patio (uncovered) with one picnic table.  No food, no drinks.  Not even water.  Needless to say, we said forget it & went to our seats.  What a let down!  We did see Dusty Hill (ZZ Top) before we were "escorted to the correct area," so that was pretty cool.  Anyway, enough about the backstage bummer...the concert was AWESOME!!  We all had a blast & loved rockin' out with some of the coolest old guys in the industry! 

On Saturday, after my parents left for Belize, we went to Harwin Street for some shopping.  Loved it!  (Well, I did...not too sure about Justin!)  We later met up with our friend, Lucas and his fiance, Jennifer.  Just love them!  They took us down to the Kemah Boardwalk, where we ate, rode a ferris wheel, and had ice cream.  It was such a fun, laid back night & that place is so cool!  Maybe next time we can stay longer...

On Sunday, before heading back, we went to my grandmother's cousin, Frank and his wife, Sandy's house for a visit. They took us to Pappadeaux, which I had never been to for lunch...LOVE IT and LOVE THEM!

Justin took Theo, one of his steer showing kids (and cousin) to Dallas yesterday for the State Fair.  Theo got 10th place w/ his steer!  Go Theo!!  Justin got back about 9:30 tonight and was so glad to be out of that dumb ole ag truck!!  I missed him...

Well, that kinda catches y'all up on the past week of my life!  I'll try to be better about this whole blogging thing so that Alayna Gayle Howard doesn't yell at me anymore!  hehe :)
