Fair, Arkansas and Razorback game!

Happy Monday! I am usually not so excited about Mondays, but this week I only have to work two days, so tomorrow is my Friday! I am so ready for this break and I am excited to finally get the finishing touches done with my house during that time. We finally have everything in place and most stuff hung on the walls, but I do have to make a few more trips to hobby Lobby for some stuff! I will post pics as soon as I get everything at least semi in order.

These past few weeks have been busy with moving in, but so fun! Last week we went to the fair! It was a blast and we ate way too much :)

Headed to the fair!!

the girls!

Mitch had to try the deep fried peanut butter cups.. and yes they were actually very delicious! 

We also spent this past weekend in Arkansas again. We just love being able to go back for a quick trip. We love being in Tulsa, but there are those things in AR we do miss and its nice to be able to still in NWA. Since we lived there for two years, it feels so normal and like it is still "our" town when we go back. Nothing really seems to change or feel different about being there. We got there Friday afternoon, hung out and had dinner that night. Saturday, we slept in, took Bella to the Farmer's Market and then on a long walk at the CB Trails. Right after lunch I went on run on the trails and it was a beautiful day!!  



I had to stop on my run and take a picture, the trees were all changing and so pretty. This picture doesn't even do justice of the bright reds and yellows. I do miss running this all the time!

After my run, we took a little nap and watched some football. Then we headed to spend the afternoon on Fayetteville and go to the Razorback game that night. We ate dinner at one of our favorite places, Catfish Hole and then made our way to the stadium.






We had to park about 2 miles away and we knew all week it was suppose to not just rain during the game, but storm. So we were a little worried for our walk back to the car. But it couldn't have turned out more perfect for us. We had seats in the upper section and so we watched not even all of the first quarter up there.




 After about an hour it starred pouring and because of lighting they evacuated the stadium. We went down to the bottom and waited out the rain. We had about an hour delay and we we just hung out under the stadium. Well we had heard it was going to be a long time before they were going to play again, and with all this rain still coming we decided just to go. Well we got not even half way to the car and we heard a police officer say they were going back on the felid ink 12 minutes. We knew there was more rain still coming but it looked about an hour or so away and since we paid for the tickets and had nothing else to do we decided we were going to go back and watch the game. We went in the lower level and ended up getting amazing seats since so many people had left.  We were on the lowest level in the end zone right under the balcony so if it started raining we wouldn't get wet! It was perfect!!



We were really excited about our new seats! We ended up being able to watch the rest of the half and Randy Jackson was at the game and came out at half time!! We stayed as long as we could and we looked at the radar one last time and figured we better run to the car. So we got there as fast as we could ha! We made it and just as we were getting in it started pouring! Even though we only saw a half it was a blast and we had such a good time. We didn't even get wet like we thought we were :)


We slept in Sunday, had lunch and just hung out the rest of the day! Later we made the trip back to OK and finally finished up hanging some stuff and working on our house. Natalie came over and helped me decorate. I need all the help i can get and she is SOO good at it! We are going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and I am having her pick out all my stuff for me to decorate with ha!

We had such a good time in AR, as always. This week Mitch and I only work Monday and Tuesday then off the rest of the week!! I am so ready for this much needed Fall Break! I am hoping to really work on the house and then Friday we are headed to the Thunder game!! We got these tickets back in March and have been looking forward to it since then! Saturday, my mom and I are headed back to AR for the craft fairs with Michelle and her mom. We have been the past several years and LOVE it. They have so many cute things and I am really looking forward to it!

I hope y'all have wonderful week!!!
