The nail ladies laughed and laughed at me. I kept smiling and telling them how much I liked my nails, but they could see the fear in my eyes. I get to live with these nails for about 3 more weeks. Lucky me. Lucky you, because they are very noticeable. We all know how I like to standout. (That's a joke. In case, you weren't sure.)
Friday we were invited to go out on Lake Ray Hubbard with the Moffitts and Palmers. My cute little Jonathan had the time of his life on the tube. Jessie was a trooper, but would have rather just stayed on the boat. The pictures are horrible, but tell quite the story.
Conner would grab Jonathan and pull him back on the tube to make sure that he didn't fall off.
I guess it pays to have really strong friends.
Jess just put her head down and hung on for dear life. Seriously, though, the boat was going about 5 mph! She hated it and was scared to death, but got off smiling!
Given a couple of Excedrin, Conner turns into a stunt man!
Saturday, we attended the Ward Breakfast bright and early at 8:00 a.m. Who thought that was OK? I vote that they change it to 9:00 next year.
(Stole this off of Facebook - this is not my pic as evidenced by the fact that I am in the background!)
We were one of the first ones at the breakfast, because Fred had to prepare for the Flag Ceremony. He forgot to tell me that he needed to swing by the church for the flags. I couldn't figure out why I was being rushed out the door at 7:35. I need to understand these things, because I was planning on leaving at 7:55.
The Young Women were in charge of face painting... again. We pretty much have the market cornered on face painting.
I scored some sweet art on my arms. You know you love someone when you let her paint a dragon on your arm. My goal was to prove my undying love to Jaiden by keeping the dragon on my arm all day, but it was so wet that I kept smearing it on everything. I finally had to wipe it off with make-up remover towelettes. Fred suggested Clorox Wipes. He's hard core!
Katelyn thought I should have a more patriotic star on my other arm. Maybe the dragon was a bit much? I'm not sure?
You know you've got skills when you can paint your own face using only the reflective surface of your iPad.
Later that afternoon, we went to see Terminator Genisys and out to eat. I tried to take pics of Fred and Jonathan, but they clearly didn't cooperate! I had never seen any of the Terminators, so I was a bit skeptical, but I watched anyway. I liked it, but had to ask Fred a few questions afterwards. Now, he wants me to watch the earlier ones. I'm not sure if that is necessary. I thought he could just get me up to speed.
On Sunday, we hit the road for Austin.
We stopped off at Auntie Jan's and Uncle Joe's to visit with them. Surprise, surprise... we ran into Mom and Dad there. We stayed in a sketchy La Quinta. It was quite the adventure.
We dropped our favorite boy off at EFY on Monday! I am going to miss him. After we dropped him off, I really wanted to go back and pick him up. I wasn't allowed to drop him off last year. This is probably why.
Fred got all the way to Trinity University and we started looking for a restaurant to feed Jonathan. I started using the GPS to locate eating establishments. They were all "local favorites."
We ended up stopping at Burger Boy that was just outside of campus. Jonathan got the Working Man special. He thought he had died and gone to Heaven.
On the way home, Fred and I stopped at HEB for some souvenirs...fajita meat and Whataburger ketchup. I'm serious. They have the best fajita meat and while we were there we bought some of their Whataburger spicy ketchup and jalapeno ranch dip. When can we get an HEB? Can someone please tell me?
By the way, Fred got off the interstate for something. I think it was for the HEB and he said, "Well, the Whataburger is on the wrong side of the freeway. There is a McDonald's." I let him know that I could wait, because he had already fed me McDonald's one too many times. Now, here is where communication is key! I should have said I can wait about 15 minutes. Fred had it in his mind that he was waiting for the optimum Whataburger. I started noticing that we were passing eating establishments right and left and I heard him mention his dismay over all the Whataburgers being on the wrong side of the road. Finally, I pointed out a Zaxby's, because I know that he really likes that. I've never had it, but at this point I would take the McDonald's that I turned down. He passed the Zaxby's up! Finally, he found the perfect Whataburger at 3:30 p.m. I was so HANGRY (hungry/angry) that he ordered me a #1 without even consulting with me. We ended up throwing away half my sandwich, half my fries and a jug of drink. But, I guess Fred figured that he would rather be safe than sorry, since I was so upset!
We'll head back to San Antonio on Friday after work so that we can get our boy on Saturday morning.
Other than our Whataburger incident, we had an exceptional holiday!
