The days keep getting away from me! I still want to do a Thanksgiving recap and here we are almost a week into December. So I don't get too far behind, I'll talk about this weekend and then come back to Thanksgiving a little later.
We had a busy, wonderful weekend.
On Friday, I went with my sister to my first ever Cirque du Soleil show at the Toyota Center. The show was called Dralion. I loved it! My favorite parts were the trampoline artists and the girl performing on the ring hanging from high above. I was amazed at how people can move around and how beautiful and effortless they make it look. I want a big trampoline now, but I know that even when I'm on a trampoline I look nothing like how they look. They would go from one to the other and up the wall and back down looking like they defied gravity. I could've watched them for much longer. In my opinion, they could get rid of some of the clown act, but I think they serve as entertainment during costume changes and did serve as comic relief. I'm so glad my sister invited me to go, she had an extra ticket and invited me over her new boyfriend :) I'm excited for her and her new relationship and know that there will come a time when he's her go to +1 but think (hope) that some things - like Broadway shows - we may always be each other's date, it allows us to go and spend time together and doesn't force the guys who may not want to go to sit through it. Kevin often surprises me, but I doubt Cirque is something he'd want to see much of. Before the show, we even had time to see her office, looks pretty much like any other offices except for the trophy cases and lots of Rockets paraphernalia, there are even cubicles!
We spent Saturday doing chores and K worked on school, and I did some Christmas shopping, even my car got a gift - 2 new tires that were long overdue, and thanks to my livingsocial deal I saved $70! love a good deal.
Today I was able to go with Kevin to the Texans game. I thought I'd be watching it from home, but I was able to use his uncle's ticket because he had gotten a SIDELINE PASS to the game so he could shoot photos for a nearby paper. We brought our binoculars to be able to find him on the sideline and had fun finding him - sort of like a "Where's Waldo". I am sure he got some good photos! It was a great game to get to attend. They played, and beat, the Atlanta Falcons! The team is now 9 - 3! We spent a lot of time cheering on our defense and being LOUD to mess up the Falcons' offense. We succeeded!
We're both tired from the game, you wouldn't think cheering would be that tiring...but it sure is.
To add to the fun, we also had a COLD front come through today, woohoo!! It made for a rainy day, and a cozy evening, with cocoa and addressing Christmas cards.
