ATX Weekend Fun

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have a really good idea of what my weekend looked like, because I may have gone Insta-happy with all of my pics. Last week overall was just a really fun week, but starting Thursday night we had a birthday party for one of our good friends and played Empire (fun game but kind of hard to explain here) all night long. On the last round of the night, it got down to my empire vs. Kevin’s – I don’t want to brag but I WON!! (okay, maybe I still want to rub it in)
Friday night, we had another birthday party for a friend (with the same group of friends). We all went to dinner and then went back to one of their houses to play games again. It was a fun filled night again with lots of laughter and craziness.
The only bad thing was, between Thursday night and Friday night I barely got any sleep and had to wake up bright and early for an Easter egg hunt at work/church. I was pretty exhausted. Then from the Easter Egg Hunt, I went to a friends baby shower for a few hours. It was decorated so adorable but I forgot to snap a pic of the cute decor (fail). However, I did get the gem above of me and Lauren.
After the baby shower, I drove to Austin for my Sister-in-law’s Bachelorette Party. We had so much fun. We started with a delicious dinner at Zax and then went out downtown.
Sunday morning came way too early, but we had a bunch of appointments with wedding vendors around town so we had to get up. Lets just say, by this point, I was beyond sleep deprived. We got to see the wedding venue though and I got super excited. It is gorgeous and has these cute villas to stay in during the wedding weekend. I absolutely can’t wait for the wedding to be here. We also had lunch at The Oasis and I and never been so it was a fun experience even though I was half asleep.

 

Overall, I had an amazingly fun weekend, but I was super glad to get back to San Antonio last night and crash. Hope your Monday is going good. Did anyone else have an eventful weekend?

    Do You Need a Love Spell to Get Your Ex Husband Back?

    My name is Wendy Streeter,and i live in NY USA. My Ex-Husband dumped me two weeks ago after I accused him of seeing someone else and insulting him. I want him back in my life but he refuse to have any contact with me. I was so confuse and don’t know what to do, so I reach to the internet for help and I saw a testimony of how a spell caster help people to get their ex back so I contact the spell caster and explain my problem to him and he cast a spell for me and assure me of 48hours that my ex will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my ex came knocking on my door and beg for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married. Once again thank you Dr Brave, You are truly talented and gifted. Email: [email protected] is the only answer. He can be of great help and I will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man.Email:[email protected]
