Prince Rog

I was interested to see what people think about Michael the other day when we did a little exercise in Bible Class. It made me think of these profiles of husbands on my friends' blogs so I thought I would give it a go. By the way he was almost named Roger-thank goodness his mom won on that one. I love tease Michael and call him Rog...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDE

25 years ago today my family got the best Halloween present ever, Linde!!!! We are sure glad she's a good witch. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any of really incriminating Halloween pictures from when were little so this picture from Trunk or Treat Sunday will have to set the mood. :)

I think we have finally recovered from one of the craziest weekends we have had in a long, long time. Here's our weekend rewind:

Sunday: Grandma Faye and Aunt Susan Jo were here, but they left early. We saw them for coffee and then they headed out.

Church and lunch at Freebirds-got the nachos and I really like the change of pace.

Trunk or Treat-Yeah!! I think this is such a fun event at church everyone decorates their trunks and the kids go trick or treating car to car. I think the kids really like it, I help put it on as a tribute to my favorite Halloween girl mentioned above. We have so many great Halloween memories I want other kids to get to have them, too.

Linde's Party-After Trunk or Treat we raced to get to the end of Linde's surprise Birthday party. I was sad and felt a little left out that we couldn't be there for the whole thing, but most importantly Linde had a BLAST. She was so surprised and lots of her friends came from even as far away as Waco. In true Browning form, she about wore Jeff out picking the perfect pumpkin carving tools for the contest she thought she was going to.

Saturday: Birthday brunch for Linde at Cafe Brazil-yum yum, we had this because Linde didn't know she was having the party Sunday. Michael and Daddy went to the A&M game-that's all we'll say about that poor showing. I got to do a little shopping with Mom and Linde and then they had dinner with Grandma Faye and Aunt Susan Jo.

That night I got to go hear Maroon 5 with my friend Melanie from work-it was a great concert, with very interesting opening acts from The Hives and Kevin Michael....

Friday night- we celebrated a very belated birthday for our friend Dara with dinner at Gloria's and then games and pumpkin pie afterwards. We had a great night with great friends, even though not all of our supper club could make it.

Well as you can see it was a crazy fun weekend! I think I am rested up just in time to pass out candy tonight! I hope we get lots of trick or treaters tonight and that you all have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

There's a Nip in the Air

It's feeling like fall, even being the cold natured girl that I am I can appreciate it is HIGH time. We have had lots of fun things going on, but I can't get my pictures to upload.... Please see all the ACU friends blogs for fun pictures from Homecoming. We had so much fun from breakfast to Perini Ranch and quality time at the Luttrells. I loved running in to old and new friends at the parade. I hope you all had a great weekend, too.

Abbe's Fall Favorites

HALLOWEEN!!! Not only are the decorations and kids in costumes sooo cute, it is Linde's Birthday!
Sweaters-who doesn't love bundling up in a warm sweater you don't have to suck in to look cute in?
Football-Luckily, I was a Cowboys fan long before I married into a die hard family of fans. I have also grown to love the Aggies and have fun cheering at high school games for just about any school. I must admit I also love to talk bad about the drill teams, etc at those HS games. No one can top the SBDT!
Fires in the fireplace- I am so thankful for gas logs, I can build my own fire in seconds and roast by it all day long.
Movies-I think it is so fun to curl up on the couch under a blanket and watch a movie, it is hard to get Michael to slow down that long, but for some reason he is a little more likely to concede in the winter.
Family-We get to see so much of our great families around the holidays and football season between going to the games, celebrating Birthdays in September and October and the official holidays are around the corner.
Soup-Even though I usually eat like a 5 year old, in the winter I grow up and LOVE all kinds of yummy soups that warm you up from the inside out.
Coats-If we were rich I would have tons of coats, I get so excited when the J. Crew comes full of fabulous coats, there is a new one I am lusting after sooo much, but I am not sure about belly clearance for later in the winter.....
Have a great Fall Day!

Haircut Day

I am so excited to get my hair cut tomorrow! Any girl with curls knows that a great haircut is both hard to come by and yet so important. I can't even tell you how many lopsided, fro-inducing hair cuts I have endured. So, I trek to Tyler to see my hair hero Krista every 4-8 weeks. She has made my hair life so much more manageable and at times even enjoyable. I actually get genuine complements on my hair from strangers sometimes, she is amazing. However, she is not going to be impressed with me. My hair is OUT OF CONTROL!!! I haven't had it cut since before the cruise, I think by a couple of weeks which means it has been literally months. It is a mess. I will be feeling leaner and meaner by 1 tomorrow, I think the reason I love Krista so much is that not only does she take the length of my hair she slims it down as well. I hope you all have a Krista in your life. If you don't let me know and I will get you her number, I promise she is worth the drive to T-town.

One More Treat from NYC

I might have left off one of my favorite souvenirs we got in New York City. I know it is a little cheesy, but I just couldn't resist getting our little one's wardrobe started in the fashion capitol of the U.S. That's right, we have a little one on the way! Our baby will make his or her debut sometime around April 20th, 2008. Michael and I and our families are so excited to be beginning the adventure of expanding our family. So far this has been a very exciting time and I am looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for us as well.

Hand Hygeine

I try to keep my posts light and about what's going on in our rather boring lives rather than philosophize, but I feel the need to jump on my soap box for minutes. I have made it a goal of mine to drink more water lately, which means I am in the bathroom more often. Yesterday we had so much fun at the A&M game, but I noticed something in my visits to the bathroom. No one washes their hands right. PEOPLE USE SOME SOAP. What is the point of washing your hands without soap? You are giving your germs a drink. There are lots of things we can't control in a public restroom such as the water temperature, if you have to touch the faucet with your hand instead of a paper towel, etc. But when there is soap use it!!!!
Thanks and have a nice night.

Do you know about The Bachelor Recaps?

If you don't and you watch The Bachelor you must check this site out, even if you don't watch they are hilarious. Half the reason I watch the show is so that I can fully appreciate how funny Lincee the author of this blog is. Check it out!
