Weekend in Aggieland


We had a really great weekend. We arrived in College Station Friday evening and visited with James' brother Nathan and his wife Lesley. The next morning we went to Northgate to go shopping in some of the campus bookstores. I got a new A&M t-shirt that fits over my pregnant belly and we got a few Aggie outfits for the baby. They had soooo many cute things! Of course they were overpriced but I had to get at least something for the little guy. The best part of the outfit-it says "Aggies" on the bottom!
Then we walked around campus and I got to reminisce over all the places I used to go when I went to school there. I absolutely LOVE College Station and the A&M campus. It is beautiful, the weather is great, and overall it is just a pleasant place to live. The campus is pretty big so even though I was wearing tennis shoes I ended up getting tired really fast while we were walking around. I haven't done that much walking since I've been "more" pregnant and I can't believe how quickly I got tired! I had to sit down and rest a few times and my feet were killing me. I am starting to get a tad bit of the "swollen feet" pregnancy stuff. Not too excited about that but I'm hoping that I don't get "Shreck feet," as someone so kindly put it the other day.
Here is me by the century tree...a lot of people propose underneath this tree. We ate at Freebirds for lunch on Northgate and it was AWESOME. I miss the College Station classic restaurants...it was SO good!
Later that night we went to the murder mystery dinner party at Nathan & Lesley's and it was so much fun. It was probably the best one they have thrown yet. This year there were several murders/murderers and it was a Clue theme. I ended up being one of the people that got killed and James ended up being one of the murderers. Unfortunately my camera battery died so I didn't get any pictures! But I'm hoping that Lesley can give me some of hers. I highly recommend doing a party like this for anyone that wants a fun Halloween activity for adults. It was nice to get away this weekend. I am really glad that we went!
Monday we got our crib bedding in the mail. Although I'm trying to keep costs reasonable with baby stuff I did splurge a little bit on this because we had some extra money this month and I have just fallen in love with this design! So we are going to go with the "safari" theme for the baby's room. I love it! Can't wait to start decorating his room!
