successful weekend.

made it home on friday and went straight to my sister Emily's for yet another Southern Belle Glamour jewelry party! i loaded up on some more SUPER cute stuff and we all had such a great time. it had just snowed a HUGE amount the night before and the yards and fields were still covered in the white powder--we only got nasty slush here in college station, so it was so good to enjoy the winter wonderland for a little while. and when you're from Texas, snow--even a few inches--is something to freak out about! here's some of what our backyard looked like saturday morning, everything was starting to melt but Izzy loved it!

saturday my parents and i headed up to the Fort Worth Stockyards to find a pair of new boots! the heavy heavy snow fall in DFW on thursday caused a tree to fall on a power line outside of Fincher's (as i mention previously, this is my cousin's store) so the electricity was out! Chuck still told us to come and let me just say, shopping by flashlight is a lot more exciting that i though it would be. after the sun set and we finally decided the flashlights weren't doing us any good anymore, i found the perfect pair and we headed out to have dinner! Chuck took us to M&M's Steak House, the smallest restaurant i'd ever been to in my life...but the size DID NOT matter, it was absolutely delicious! i love places like that, they are just so "homey" and comfortable and usually family-owned, which makes the service a lot better i've found. if you are in "F Dub" i totally recommend finding this little hole-in-the-wall and experiencing it for yourself...you wont be disappointed!

here is what my FAB new boots look like! they're Stetson "Bucket Boots"! i love them and cannot wait to wear them in houston...shoes really do make an outfit!

after we finished dinner we had to take Chuck and Judy back to Fincher's to get his truck and when we pulled onto Exchange (the main road of the Stockyards) this is what i saw across the street...i just had to get out and go take a picture. i even pet all three of them!! CRAZYYYY!!

yes, that is a MOUSE on top of a CAT on top of a DOG!!!

i will leave you with that! no words of inspiration today--i'd have to come up with something really good to top that MOUSECATDOG!
