Day 165

A quick look at one of the fun things we did in the Dallas area with Stacey today: Dessert at the Cheesecake Factory! Lemon Raspberry on the left and Peanut Butter something (Reese's, Butterfinger, chocolate cookie crust, some kind of peanut butter stuff on top) on the right. Oh. My. Goodness.

Day 164

Sarah's in town for a visit! We decided we needed to eat outside, so we hit up Louie's on Campus Corner for dinner. Then, a trip to Passionberri for frozen yogurt was definitely in order. While we were eating our yogurt (outside, of course), Sarah pointed out how pretty this sign (an iconic part of Campus Corner) was, so I decided to get a shot of it:

And, here's one of us happy after our yogurt:

Day163

Tonight's pictures are from Rachel and Ty's wedding earlier this evening. They had the ceremony and the reception in a beautiful room in OU's student union. The photographer collected all of Rachel's "study buddies" for a group shot, and fortunately Michelle's husband was willing to jump in and snap a copy with my camera:


Later, after all the yummy cupcakes, Catherine, Candace, and I got a bit silly with the camera:

And then, we took a "good one" (And thanks to Catherine's husband for taking these!):

Day 162

Patrick and I drove up to Steak'n'Shake for dinner tonight. Ever since the first restaurant started advertising mini-burgers, I've been intrigued. I realize they will taste the same as a big burger, but they're just so darn cute. So, I finally ordered them tonight. Cute AND tasty!

At dinner, I told Patrick he would have to be in my blog tonight, so we tried to get a good picture and ended up with this:

Since Patrick was squinting, we decided to take another picture and came out with this:

Still squinting. At this point, I told him we could take one more and then I would just pick the best one because this was getting a bit ridiculous. Here's what we came out with:

What a sweet goober I'm married to! Love you, Patrick! :)

Day 161

One of the finest beverages of summer... pink lemonade!

Day 160

Rachel is getting married Saturday, so tonight we had a pre-wedding girls' night out for her. We ended up getting gelato (yum!) and sitting there and talking for a couple of hours. We tried to take our own picture of the four of us, but it kept turning out like one of those photo booths in the mall where you can never see all the faces completely in the same frame. Fortunately, the girl working at the gelato shop was willing to take the picture you see above. Congrats, Rachel & Ty! We're all looking forward to Saturday!

Day 159

I do SO love it when packages arrive - and today we got two!
