Trip to Houston

Last weekend, Michael and I met his parents in Houston for the MSU vs. Houston football game! It came at the perfect time! I was in desperate need of a break from school, and managed to get all my work done so that I could just relax and enjoy the weekend.

You should be impressed--this pregnant lady made it to Houston (4 hours) with only TWO potty break! I was proud of me!

Michael did a great job picking out a hotel and restaurants for us! The rooms were great and in an excellent location. We didn't have to trek to a far away garage to get to the car. Friday night we had dinner at a nice seafood restaurant--can't remember the name :)! Then we got up and went shopping Saturday morning. Nana wanted to buy the little guy with no name an outfit! As per my usual, after wandering all over the incredibly complicated Galleria in Houston, we ended up getting the outfits at the very first store we went into! They are super cute though. I love overalls! Nana and I also had lunch at Le Madelaine (don't know how to spell it!). I had potato soup, fruit, and a ham and cheese sandwich...SO GOOD!!! The boys went to Chic-fil-a--surprise surprise!!  After shopping we took a nap before heading to dinner before the game. We ate dinner at Pappas Burgers...I felt like a pig. Everyone at the table commented on the size of their burgers and how they just could barely finish half. I ate ALL of mine and most of my french fries. And I must admit...I wasn't really THAT full! :)

After dinner we headed to the ball game a gazillion hours early (I'm married to Michael remember :). We have to trek what felt like 2 miles to the stadium, and the poor pregnant girl was WHOOPED after shopping all day and then the hike to the stadium (even with my brief nap). Of course, the visitors are put on the side of the stadium where the sun blares down on you, so we decided to sit outside in the shade awhile before going in. Finally, I decided a chair would be much preferred to the concrete block I was sitting on and I could deal with the sun. It NEVER dawned on my that we would be sitting on bleachers. NOT ONCE! While I was taking potty break number one of 53,295 of the evening, my darling husband located some chairbacks that hook on the bench for rent. Isn't he sweet!?! I think he knew I would have pitched a hissy when I realized it was a bleacher. No...I probably would have held it together, but I would've wanted to leave sooner. Anyways, so we make it to the stadium.

Gradually it starts filling up. Then after I take potty break number 34 of 53,295, I come back to find that the people sitting next to us have arrived and there is litterally nowhere for my person to stand (the team was entering the field, so everyone was cheering). Once everyone sat down, I turned around and told the football player line backer sized college kid sitting next to me that we might as well introduce ourselves because we were gonna be good friends for the evening. We did, and it was a good thing. He made a concerted effort not to spill his 82 beers on me and offered to buy me food every time he went to the concession stand.

Then came the seating drama. At kick-off, a large group comes in and says we are on the wrong row (like we as in every single individual on the row). They insisted that we were row GG and it was one up from where we were sitting. The people directly in front of us insisted they were row EE, so FF was infamously MISSING!!! All these people needed row FF. The confusion got so confusing they had to call in a Houston person to sort it out. We were right...of course...because Michael is ALWAYS right (recall the gender of our child.)

We won by a lot. The End.

Infant to Toddler rocker that Nana and Pops brought us from Tiffany and Jason. We also got a stroller frame thingy for the infant carrier. Yay for baby stuff! I'm ready to have the baby to put in it! For now Adelae is trying out all our new stuff. She wasn't a big fan of the rocker thing...unless of course we were rocking it.
