 A Weekend of Firsts                         Football and  Lazy Dog

I've been to a lot of football games but never to any in the rain.  On Friday night after several delays it was time for kickoff. Literally played one play and then the sirens went off. So we had to leave the stadium. Then  Zachs game started at 9:00. It was a memory in the making with Becky, Gma, Nancy, Chris, and I. We were prepared for all the rain. Zach got to play after he's been recovering from an injury. He played until the last few minutes of 3rd quarter then reinjured his leg. I was very impressed with the opposing teams players. They came over and checked on Zachs re-injury. It rained the entire game! My fingers were so pruny, no dry bone on my body, but to watch Zachary play his heart out for the game he loves was all worth it.  

On Saturday night Elizabeth and I met up at the Lazy Dog in Addison. On the patio ppl brought their dogs to dinner. The dogs were all so well behaved. The food looked delicious. We just wanted desert to split. Let me just say that they had so many options. The prices were not bad at all! I will be going back there again! It was such a fun place.

A Weekend of Firsts

                   A Weekend of Firsts....

I've been on a roll since school started of trying new things to the point it's pushed me out of my comfort zone. 

After our fall picnic at school on Friday evening I drove down to my friends Elizabeth and Pavis apt. They live in uptown so we walked from their apt with a group of friends to the Aurora event that was happening. The streets were packed with so many different things. 

So the firsts begin:

* going into the Nasher

* free showcase work by artists from lots all over 

* AT&T Performing Arts center 

* DMA

While in the DMA I added a words of wisdom to a board, created a puzzle, and chose a tile to color to recreate a piece  of artwork to the wall. If you know me I'm by no means an artist but really enjoyed coloring my tile and adding it to the wall. We went and listened to live bands playing outside. My favorite was listening and watching the  digital shoe on certain buildings.

Sorry the pictures went in crazy order. 

The next first for me was on Saturday:

As you know Brooke and I love an adventure. This was a memory I'll never forget! From the moment we walked in till the time we left. 

I had won free tickets to a concert!

My first time to see Taylor Swift.. It was the best concert I've ever been too! 

It was my first time to stand holding a sign at a concert the majority of the time. 

My first time meeting Taylor's mom! 

We didn't meet Taylor but we will never forget this memory.. 

Here's what I've learned don't be scared to try or do things you may not have done before because you're scared you might not be good at it. 

I'm learning there are other firsts I want to do now and I can't wait to write about these adventures!
