So since the crazy week of finals ended, it seems like the break has been even crazier - well, more like very eventful.
I arrived Wednesday night in time for some dinner and hanging out with family. Thursday Phillip and I spent the whole day taking down wallpaper and painting an entire bathroom at his parents' house. I felt pretty accomplished from that. Thursday night was more hanging with the family. Friday started the crazy and exciting weekend.
Phillip and I exchanged presents - I know it's early, but we've never even been able to last THIS long before giving each other our gifts. We'll have to work on that before getting married... develop some sort of system so we have SOMETHING to open on Christmas day from each other. I bought him a gorgeous dress watch from Fossil. I'd like to take the credit for picking out such a perfect gift, but alas, I must admit that he pointed it out several weeks ago. But at least I remembered, it right? He coincidentally enough bought me a watch from Fossil too! It's a more casual one that I can wear every day (saving my dress one for nicer occasions). After exchanging gifts and taking Max to the boarder for the weekend, we left with his parents for San Antonio. Upon arriving and settling into the timeshare we ended up with, we walked down to the riverwalk and had margaritas and sopapillas. DELICIOUS!
Saturday, we walked to the football game - the whole reason we took the trip. The game was extremely exciting and our high school won the state championship!! The conclude the evening, we had more margaritas and called it an early night. Sunday we shopped at the outlets in San Marcos before coming back to Bedford, where I spent another evening with my family.
Yesterday Phillip and I went to have my engagement ring appraised. The appraiser gave us GREAT news and was able to give me some more interesting information about the diamond my grandmother gave me. So cool! After that, I tagged along with Samantha for some of her last-minute shopping.
And today, I've just kind of been running around doing errands and such. We had our girls' secret santa exchange and seeing all of them made me really happy.
Tomorrow, Phillip and I will be spending all day together. I'm so excited! We haven't had any "date" time in a while and it'll be great to spend one-on-one time with him. Yay!!
Well if I don't write again until after Christmas, I hope all of you have a blessed one! :)
