Two weeks ago, we I took off on a Friday, and we headed to AR. It was Mitch's moms birthday and Michelle's birthday, so everyone was in town. Mitch's grandma and also his mom's parents were all there. So it was a lovely weekend fill of lots of family time.
Saturday Mitch and I headed to Fayetteville early that morning. We hung out in Fayetteville until the game and we were so worried it was going to rain. They had forecasted cold and rain all week and boy were they wrong. It was perfect weather!! We actually got a little hot in the middle of the game since we had dressed for cold. The game itself was awful... we are just in transition with a new coach and a young team this year. So we went into the game knowing we wouldn't win, and overall even though we didn't play well, Mitch and I had a blast. We always have a good time at football games.
We were back in Bentonville by 4:00 that afternoon and Mitch's dad cooked out ribs for about 20 people. It was the perfect evening for everyone to be outside and enjoy some yummy food.
Sunday, we got up went to church and Mitch and I went to The Market Place for lunch. It was nice for us two to get away and enjoy our favorite restaurant. We made it back to his parents house just in time for the Green Bay game. We watched it and just relaxed all afternoon. We headed back to Tulsa later that evening. It was such a fun weekend. Weekend like that make me miss living in AR. I just love going to the Hogs games and I especially love fall in Arkansas!
I only had to work one day that next week. I know seems pointless right? But I am not going to complain having the week off. It was a perfect fall break. Mitch and I did some shopping, relaxed at home and even had a date night or two! Then I left EARLY Friday morning with my mom to head back to AR for craft fairs. We stayed the weekend and had a blast. We found some awesome deals and came home with way too much. I actually bought several clothes items this year and of course my typical food... dips, bread, fudge and kettle corn.
Today I got up for church and then just getting the house clean and watching the Packers play. I am trying some fun new recipes for dinner this week and hopefully I will remember to take pictures and share soon.
We have a busy next few weeks. This weekend is the Tulsa Run and I am excited that Elizabeth and Mitch are both running it with me. I have kinda been slacking on my training over the last few weeks, so it will be interesting.
We also have OBU homecoming here in a few weeks and I am so excited about this! Mitch and I were going to take off work and go down Friday to play in the golf tournament but, we have decided not too. I hate using my personal days this time of year bc we get SO many long breaks in a row. And we are planning our annual Branson Christmas trip and so I figured I would rather take more days off for that over the golf tourn.
I hope y'all have a great week. I am sad fall break is over, but only a few weeks until Thanksgiving break!!
