Dallas Weekend

Last weekend there was a lot to celebrate in Dallas!  There were two wedding showers, and Joey and I had made plans to go stay with the Roush's in their new house.  Joey ended up having too much school work to be out of town, but Harley and I still drove up after work on Friday.  Harley and Tegan had so much fun together!  They hadn't seen each other since the move back in May, so it was cute to see them reunited.  They are still best girlfriends! 

Harley kept sitting on top of Tegan while they were wrestling... It was the weirdest thing!  Megan looked it up and found out that dogs often do this when they are tired of playing but trying to show dominance.  Tegan has got Harley by about 40 pounds, but she sure tries to be the "big dog".

Friday night Rich and Meg ordered us Chinese food for dinner  (one of my favorites since there are really no good take-out Chinese places here), and then Meg and I went to Homegoods, for the first time of the weekend, to shop for accessories for their new house.

Saturday morning I attended a wedding shower being given in honor of one of my college room-mates, Kristin.  It was really fun to see her and Lauren, another college friend and room-mate.  It has been way too long since we spent time together, and it was wonderful to celebrate Kristin as the bride-to-be!  There were a lot of other Tri-Delta girl friends from college there too that I had a blast catching up with.  It will be fun to see them again at the wedding.  Kristin is going to be a beautiful bride!

Saturday afternoon I headed back to the Roush's, and Meg and I shopped a little more for accessories.  Saturday evening we were invited to a couple's shower for Shay and Adam.  I definitely missed having Joey there, but enjoyed getting to celebrate Shay and Adam with a lot of friends.  I have met and even become close to a lot of the people that mean a lot to Shay and her family over the years of us being friends, so it was fun to see many of them again.  Shay and Adam have a lot of fun together, and it was cute to watch them open presents as a couple.  Getting to see Shay twice in one weekend was pretty fun!

Who knew you were supposed to brush a dog's teeth?  Megan brushes Tegan's and it was pretty funny, so I snapped a few pictures.  Tegan loves it, so Harley wanted to try... she was not too fond of it!  It was pretty amusing to watch though. :)

Sunday morning I went to church with the Roush's and then Meg and I had brunch.  We stopped by Homegoods one more time for curtain rods and then went back to their house to hang them... only Rich was still at church.  We learned pretty quickly that hanging curtain rods is a good man project!  We finally figured out how to use Rich's electric screwdriver (maybe that's what it's called?) in time for the battery to die... and the Roush's don't know where the charger is.  So, we tried to drill the screws in by hand... Yeah right!  That was hard.  So, we ended up just marking where they needed to go and deciding to let Rich handle it when he got home.  It was a fun weekend getting to spend time with and celebrate exciting times with good friends.
