I decided for my Sweet Tea Social I would recap my past week (so basically, it's just another Mobile Monday!) :)
Last week I was kinda lazy. After work I pretty much went home, worked out, then watched TV (mainly Rangers games). I had Pei Wei one night for dinner and this was my fortune. I don't really buy into fortune cookies, but we shall see if this one comes true. I'll keep you posted. :)

| I hope he's tall, good looking, and like baseball. :) |
I made up for doing nothing all week on Friday. This past weekend I drove to Lubbock for my nephew James' graduation from Texas Tech University. If you have never made the drive out to Lubbock, I'm not going to lie, it's a beating. But despite the long trip, I wasn't going to miss James' graduation!!
 |
| 365 miles one way from Dallas to Lubbock. Thank goodness he didn't go to school in El Paso (that's 655 miles from Dallas)! |
I broke up the 6 hour car trip up by making a stop in Abilene to see my brother and his family on Friday. My niece Rebecca had a baby boy recently six months ago, and this was my first time to meet him!
 |
| Aunt Rachel and JT. He wasn't sure what to think about seeing himself in my iPhone camera. |
 |
| Me and my sister-in-law (JT's grandma)! |
 |
| Baby JT! |
 |
| My brother Mark. Not sure why the men in my family don't like to smile in pictures! |
After you get onto Highway 84 to Lubbock, you don't see much. It's about two and a half hours of nothing but
wind farms and a dead cow. I took a picture out the window (of the wind farms, not the dead cow).
 |
| The best shot I could get out my car window |
 |
| Picture stolen from Google. This is what a wind farm looks like up close. These farms went on for miles! For more info on them, click here. It's kinda interesting. |
 |
| For all of those complaining two weeks ago it was "too cold" for May, thanks a lot! It's only going to get worse people! |
I got to Lubbock a little before 7 pm and spent time with my sisters and parents. We got up early Saturday to be at graduation by 9 am. Thankfully Texas Tech has multiple graduation ceremonies (divided by degrees) so we were only there two hours (it could have been a LOT longer). I'm so proud of my nephew James. He's going to start law school in the fall. Hopefully he will give his aunt a family discount free advice if I need his services. :)
 |
| Me and my nephew Jake (James' brother). He's graduating high school this year and plans to attend Texas Tech in the fall. I told him I'm flying to Lubbock for his graduation. |
 |
| I'm so proud of my Red Raider!! Guns Up! Wreck 'em! |
 |
| This lovely lady is marrying James. Just over a month until she is officially my niece! |
 |
| James with his grandparents. |
 |
| James was named after my dad's father. My dad said it meant a lot to him to hear his father's name called out. |
 |
| My sister with her "baby boys". They get their height from their dad's side. |
 |
| My sweet boys! |
 |
| This sign at Tech made me laugh, I had to take a picture! |
I left Lubbock about noon on Saturday and made the drive back to Dallas. I had tickets to the Rangers game Saturday night (yes, I know, I'm crazy for driving 6 hours then going out). I was exhausted, BUT I went anyways (and I'm so glad I did!) :) Rangers won! My record is 8-2 when attending Rangers games this season. :)
 |
| 721.4 miles is how much I drove in a 24 hour time period going to and from Lubbock. |
 |
| Me and Monica at our tenth game of the season! |
 |
| We met up with beks! |
 |
| Got to see my friend Eric for a bit! |
 |
| It was Girls Night Out at the Ballpark! |
 |
| If the wave starts at a Rangers game, a "stop the wave" notice usually gets put up on the jumbo tron. The Rangers don't like the wave. This photo was taken by beks!, she said I could use it on my blog! :) (And yes, her name is spelled beks! That's not a typo). :) |
So yeah, it was a busy weekend. I'm still exhausted, BUT that's okay. So, how was your weekend?
XOXO!!
