48 Hours...

I'm so glad that I have a renewed interest in blogging. For a while there I just lost the desire. I didn't really have anything to say and wasn't overly enthused about anything. My entire blog is about nothing but yet, I thought I needed something to say. I really felt like I needed to entertain you guys and be funny and it took the fun out of why I started blogging anyway. All that to say, I'm glad to get back to blogging about my little life. I still don't have a lot of things to say that I feel are exciting to people other than me, but I want to appreciate the little things in life and celebrate the day to day. You're invited along with me for as long as you'd like!

Here's a little bit of lately...

We're all booked! Saturday morning my sister and I officially booked our tickets to the Big City. I've been there a million times so I'm not sure why the overabundant excitement but I'm just SO giddy about this trip. I guess that means it's much needed! I'm ready to hop on a plane with this girl...

And head out to see this girl in this city!

Last week, I got my first letter from this little muffin cup and my heart about leapt out of my chest. It is such a joy to me that Dave and I are able to be a part of Cesar's life through Compassion. His birthday is coming up and I'm working on a special little birthday surprise for him. :)

I finally got to pick up the last of my chairs that I had recovered and they look awesome! After all of the drama (which was MY fault) I was so glad to see that everything turned out better than I expected. I'll try to take some pictures tonight. I had my very first "recliner nap" yesterday afternoon and I must admit...I loved it.

I had the privilege, once again, of attending the Texas Longhorn Grid Iron Luncheon last week. It got me completely hyped for football season and made me excited for all things fall. The low 90's - mid 80's can't come soon enough! You can imagine my excitement when amidst talk of Longhorn football, personnel changes, "new blood" and "young talent" we were introduced to Texas high school football's coach of the year...Coach Taylor. It was a joke, obvi, but He gave a nice speech about the passion Texas feels for football at all levels, and spoke of the challenging yet fulfilling life of a HS coach. Might I add, he looked mighty fine while doing it.

I'm excited because there is a group of Austin Pi Phi's getting together tonight! I can't wait to catch up with some of my pledge sisters that I haven't seen in YEARS. We need to do this more often!

Last night I got to video chat with my brother and his hair. I started cracking up the minute I answered because he looked like Ace Ventura. :) Our catch-up-sessions are few and far between because of his schedule but I really enjoy it when we can talk. His season ends in about 4 weeks and then he'll be home for about 5 months...hip-hip-hooray!

It was a fairly uneventful weekend at the Mendenhall household, but it was definitely a good weekend. I hope yours was too!
