Charity Walk and a Halloween Bash

The weekend flies by when you're having fun...isn't that unfair? I wish we could have just one more teeny tiny little day on the weekend. One more day to sleep in (who am I kidding, I can't really sleep in any more these days) and get things done. Anyways, where was I...

I've been looking forward to this weekend for a while. Tyler and I signed up to do the 5k Walk to End Alzheimer's with our Texas Young Professionals group and our friends Sam and Jennifer joined us as well so double bonus.

 
 
The walk was AWESOME! There were a ton of pumped up people and they had the jams going while we waited to start. There was over $350,000 raised!! WOW! It's just amazing the power of giving others have and how we can all help to make a difference. The walk was around Reliant Stadium and the weather was perfect for us.
 
We had just finished the run and were wearing our smiles of victory!
 
After our run we went and had brunch at Tiny Boxwoods which is ALWAYS delicious and a little favorite of ours. I had the yummiest turkey club and fresh fruit annnd I wish I had some right now.
 
The rest of the day was full of chores and errands (yayyyy) BUT we had our first Halloween party of the year to get ready for so the day flew by. One of our neighbors has an annual party and we weren't able to go last year because I had my wisdom teeth extracted a few days before. Let me just tell you, this is like his Christmas, he goes all out. You should see his front yard. It's one of those front yards where you get scared just looking at it. He makes a lot of his own props and he is a true artist!
 
Look at the back right of this picture and you can see a whole setup he did with Freddy Krueger


Don't we look cute?!? I was a kitty (and had to remind myself every 5 minutes not to touch my face) and Tyler wore this awesome Pastor outfit. We had a fun night full of dancing and beer pong.
 
I am recovering relaxing today and watching the Texan's game...let's go boys!!!
 
Hope you all had a great weekend as well!
