Great Weekend!!

After a rough week at school, we had a great weekend!!  Rachel, Lauren, Katherine, and Mark came down to stay with us.  They got here around 9:30 on Friday night, and we got to hang out.  On Saturday we went to College Station to watch the A&M vs. Tech basketball game.  We got there early and ate lunch at La Bodega.  It's a great College Station only california mexican food place.  They have great nachos!!!  Katie and Michelle joined us for lunch.  It was great to see Michelle, I have not seen her since this summer.  She spent last semester abroad in Ecuador.  It fun to hear her stories.  After lunch we hit up some of the bookstores for more Aggie gear (as if we don't have enough).  But we did buy a cute aggie door hanger to put on our hook outside.  It says "aggie fans live here".  It's the hook where we put the pumpkin welcome sign, the snowman christmas sign, and now we have a heart valentines day sign.  So it will be for football season, and perhaps always-lol. 

We forgot to grab Katie's parking pass so we could park on campus (you forget about those things when you haven't been there in awhile).  So as we are pulung up Russell goes we dont' have any cash to park.   I had 4 dollars, and Rachel had 2 so we pulled into the parking lot by the REC that said $5.  However, the guy monitoring the parking lot mistook my cycreek parking pass for an A&M one, so we got to park for free! The game started out kinda bad.  We were down by about 10 points halfway through the first half.  We kept trying to make 3 pointers, and not making them and wasting possesions.  However, then we stepped it into gear and was leading by halftime, and blew it away in the second half.  It was a good game, and a fun win.  After the game we went to Laynes (yes we are trying to pack all the college station only food places in when we are there-lol).  And it was just as good as ever.  We got home around midnight.

We did not go to church on Sunday, we just all slept in and then watched tennis and hung out Sunday morning.  Well, when I say we watched tennis I mean me and Russell did, and the rest were confused.  haha.  But it was the finals for the Austrialian Open.  It was great to see another Federer win!!!  While we were watching we were talking, but Rachel said we needed to liven things up.  And I quote, "we need to make it a party, you know turn on the lights or something."  Haha I LOVE her!!!  We went to lunch and then they headed back up to Dallas.  It was great to see them all, since we didn't go up to Dallas for Christmas, we haven't seen them since Thanskgiving.

The Aggie girls!!

Believe it or not, Russell's first Aggie basketball game

WHOOP!
