Alice & Jennifer

Wow has this been a busy weekend! Friday Casey and I decided to take ourselves on a date (when you join bank accounts you really can't take each other on dates because we're both paying for it) to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie and have a bite to eat at a new pizza place in town. Unfortunately we had no idea how popular this new place is and didn't allow ourselves time for a 45 minute wait so we ended up eating at Which Wich? instead. All I can say about Which Wich? is that there are WAY too many options for someone as indecisive as I am, but they do make an awesome chocolate malt.

We finally made our way over to the movie theater and even though we were both skeptical about the new Alice movie, it surprised us both. You see, in our humble opinion, you can only make so many movies where Johnny Depp plays the same "tortured" character and Tim Burton throws his "crazy" spin on the directing. Tim Burton should just admit that he is in love with Johnny Depp and get over it. <--- joke. Anyway - we were very impressed by the actress (Mia something) who played Alice so it was a nice movie all in all.

On Saturday we both woke up early because Casey had to work that morning and I had a ton of stuff to do. I ended up dropping him off at work at 8am so that I could pick him up at noon and we could head straight to Longview for Jennifer Mawer's wedding. After dropping him off I got my nails done and went to Bed Bath & Beyond to get a gift for the lovely couple. When I finally got home I was surprised to see that it was almost 11 - how does 3 hours go by THAT quickly?? I am realizing that the older I get the faster time goes by. I always heard my parents say that, but I guess Saturday morning I really realized how true it is. When you're 5 years old, 5 minutes seems like an eternity, when your 25 it feels like 5 seconds. Anyway, I rushed over to get Casey and off to Longview we went.

Jennifer & Carl's wedding was by far the MOST fun wedding we have been to together. Jennifer looked ridiculously gorgeous and Carl could not have looked happier. The wedding & reception was a perfect mix of elegance and party atmosphere and we were so glad we got to hang out with all of our friends that we don't get to see often enough. So here's one wedding down, 3 to go this year! As soon as I get some pictures (I forgot my camera, ughhhhh!!) I will post them!

Today we got up and went to have breakfast with my Dad and then did a little shopping around Longview and headed home. We stopped through Nacogdoches and drove around campus for a while and talked about how much we missed the place and how much it had changed. I was surprised to see that they are tearing down Garner apartments! It kind of brought a tear to my eye because (and you know this if you went to SFA) Garner is such a big part of SFA history and tradition with the purple light at the top and everything. Anyway, I guess I was just feeling nostalgic and it made me a little sad to see such a big SFA symbol being torn down.

All in all it was a fabulous weekend and Casey and I are looking forward to all of the other weddings this year, especially our own! Hope everyone has a great week, here's a shout out to all of my fellow teachers who are on Spring Break! Whoo hoo!!!
