Pittman Weekend

Last weekend we got to visit Emily and Brittan who just got married in May and live in Houston. Emily and I have been friends since we were 3 years old and have a lot of great memories together. Me, Joey, and Harley got to be their first house-guests in their new apartment. It was a lot of fun! Saturday Emily woke up and made us grandma's famous french toast. It was delicious and did taste just like I remember Emily's grandmother making it.

Then we decided to go shopping and see the area where Em and Brit live. I had a gift card to Home Goods (the home accessories version of Marshalls) and we don't have one in Waco, so that was our first stop. The one we went to actually was a Marshalls and a Home Goods all in one.... dangerous! :) We actually found a lot of great treasures to check off the list of things we wanted for around the house. So then we went to Cafe Express for lunch- another one of my favorites that we don't have in Waco. It was yummy! On the way back to the apartment for the boys to watch the Little League World Series game, we passed a pet store boutique. Joey and I immediately asked Brittan if we could stop. You see, we have been looking for a baby blue collar for Harley that would match her eyes and not make her look like a boy for months now. You would think such a task would not be too terribly difficult, but you would not believe the lack of options we have found... Well, lo and behold, we found some great options at the pet store near the Pittman's apartment and came home with a cute new colar for Harley. When we got back, we decided to record the game and take Harley to a fenced in area for dogs in the park by Em and Brit's apartment. Brit was so excited! Lots of their neighbors have dogs and Brittan really wants one, but Em is still warming up to the idea. Harley ran around for about 3 minutes
and then decided it was way too hot to be outside running around, so she found a water bowl that had been left out there and tried to take a swim in it.

That wasn't doing the trick for her, so she made herself comfortable in the mud... of course! She was a mess, but quite entertaining! I hope this didn't totally make Emily's mind up not to get a dog. :)

We hosed her off and went back to watch the game and get ready for dinner. We ate at Carrabas and then met some of the Pittman's Sunday School friends at The Tasting Room- a fun wine bar with live music. It was such a fun weekend and we loved making the first of many memories with the Pittman's.
