Unforgettable.

Last weekend at Women of Faith was truly unforgettable. Here are a few more highlights of my weekend.

Me & Lisa Welchel (Blair from The Facts of Life)

Me & Mandisa (American Idol singer)

I went to the new Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas for lunch.

A Dream Come True!!

Marilyn Meberg is my all-time FAVORITE 'Woman of Faith'. She spoke this weekend and once again stole my heart. She is such a wonderful person, I truly admire her. This weekend I was given the chance to meet Marilyn. I honestly was 'star-struck' and almost speechless. I'm pretty sure she's the coolest 70 year old EVER! I cried...





She's crazy...

I am a WITNESS!!

I laughed. I cried. I smiled. I enjoyed. I clapped. I praised. I worshiped.

Relaxing Weekend

This weekend was great! Friday was the kick-off night for Restaurant Week. Two friends & I went to Central 214 for cocktail hour & dinner (the restaurant inside Hotel Palomar). It was so delicious. For my main entree I ordered scallops. They were TO DIE FOR!! I loved them so much I decided to make them today for lunch.

• In a medium size skillet heat 2TB EVOO over medium-high heat
• Dry off sea scallops (set on paper towel) before putting into skillet
• Using tongs gently place sea scallops into skillet
• Sprinkle sea salt & pepper on each, don't touch or move
  
• Heat for 3 minutes on each side
  
• ENJOY!
  

I served mine with edamame. Mike & I might have a new favorite! Depending on size, 2-3 scallops/person was perfect!


Yesterday I went to Razzoo's and then to see the movie Time Traveler's Wife with friends. It was great fun! After that I went to visit my bff & her sweet baby, Kendall. We colored in Kendall's new coloring book and scattered all 64-count crayons on the floor then picked them all up! :)
Today I made my niece's birthday card that I'll be sending out with her gifts tomorrow. I wish I could be with her on her 1st birthday BUT I will definitely see her at CHRISTMAS! I can't wait!!!!

Busy Bee!

It's crazy when life gets so busy that time flies right before your eyes. I honestly can't believe it's already August! I totally need to start working on my Christmas cards! I've been saying that for weeks now! Yikes!! I looked at the calendar this weekend and I'm super busy almost everyday it seems!
Today, Mike & I returned from a quick trip to Kansas. We went to his cousin Heather's wedding. She was beautiful and it was great to see all of his family. We drove up with his other cousin & her husband on Saturday at 6am and then came back this morning and 6am. We weren't even there for 24 hours! ...and now my weekend is o.v.e.r. Bummer!!

Here are a few things I'm looking forward to this month...in order.

Happy Hour with my friend Lauren...it's WAY overdue! (this picture was over 3 years ago at my bridal luncheon)


Dog-sitting my sweet Hunter.
