WICKED, football, and family...

I hope you all had a great weekend! Mitch and I were in Tulsa again. We drove down Thursday after Mitch got off work. On Friday, we just relaxed around the house and that night we went to WICKED!! I was so excited all day. Before every play, we love to try new places to eat. Friday night we went to the Garlic Rose. It is a small, but very nice restaurant on Brookside. It was so good...and of all the restaurants we have went before plays, this one was by far the best. It is a little expensive, but worth the money. It is very cozy and we got lucky and got a table right by the fire place! We will definitely be going back and highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice place to eat on a special occasion!
After dinner, we headed over to the PAC to see Wicked! My parents have season tickets, which is so nice, but we only have two seats. The couple that sat in the two seats next to ours decided not to renew their tickets, so we bought their seats! So now we have 4 seats all together and it is so nice not to have to decide who goes to which play now. And since we have four, my brother and his girlfriend came with us. It was a lot of fun and of course the show was amazing!!


Saturday morning, we got up and had breakfast with one of my best friends, Tayler. It is always so good to spend time with her. We went to First Watch and it was so good. Whenever I was still in school and came home to visit, we would always meet for breakfast. Well we have tried to get into this place every time and it is always too busy, so we usually end up going to ihop. Well we got their early enough and got in!  It was so good and I can't believe I have never been there.


After breakfast, we headed home and watched the OSU game with my parents. Later that day, we went shopping with my parents, and came home and grilled out steaks and watched the Arkansas game. It was so nice to spend some quality time with my family. Usually when we go back to Tulsa, we are so busy, but this weekend, it was nice to relax at home.
At half-time of the game, we went over to Scott's house and finished the game. It was a crazy game!! I think Mitch and I about had a heart attack, but luckily Arkansas pulled it out!! We also watched the Thunder play after the AR game was over. Mitch and I have always loved watching Thunder games and were worried when we moved to AR, we would not get to watch the games on TV anymore. But we have AT&T Uverse and we get to watch all the games!
Sunday, Mitch and I went shopping with my mom. We tried to get the last of our Christmas presents bought. We also went to try and find me some new jeans and I just love shopping with my mom! She bought me a new pair of MissMe jeans! I love getting new jeans! For lunch we went to a sub restaurant. It is called Mr. Goodscents and their sub sandwiches are amazing!
While we were out, we also had to make a Starbucks trip. It was the last day for the buy one get one special. I usually get the same thing every time I go, but I thought I would try something different and I got the Gingerbread Frappuccino and it was delicious! If you are a frappuccino fan, go get one! They are so good!



It was a hard not to get a hot drink in November, but it is in the upper 60's!! This weather is crazy, but I love it. I am so not ready for cold weather, so I am going to enjoy these last couple of days actually being warm! Thursday, it is suppose to get really cold and although I am looking forward to it being Thanksgiving, I am not looking forward to the cold!
Since we have been going out of town and are usually only home for three days out of the week, we haven't been to the grocery store and are just eating up all of what we already have. So that means no new recipes for a while...sorry :( But tonight we are making our favorite chicken parm pizza! I randomly came across this recipe and it was the first meal we made together in our new house.  I have given this recipe to many of our friends and they all love it. You just can't go wrong with it! It is easy and delicious! If you don't have the recipe, I put it on one of my first blog posts. You should try it!
I hope you all have had a great start to this week!! I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving... I love this time of year!
