Playing Catch Up

This is a pretty long post. I was out of town most of last week so I am catching the blog up. I had my annual trip to Arizona for work. Dennis and Coleson dropped me off at the airport bright and early Wednesday morning. It was really hard leaving but I managed to make it and had a really good time. I had lunch with my underwriter Wednesday and relaxed the rest of the afternoon outside in the beautiful weather. It was so nice out there. We had a fun dinner that night. We had a cooking contest that was like Iron Chef Challage. We were broke into groups and we had to cook a salad, entree and dessert. My group came in third place. We woke up Thursday and had a few meetings and then we were free for the afternoon. A few of us went to the mall and did a little shopping. It was a huge mall and I was in heaven. I am already saving up for next year. :) We went back to the resort and hung out by the pool. We got manicures, massages, and a spa treatment on our hands and arms. It was wonderful and very relaxing. We had another dinner party that night with a casino and karaoke theme. Friday was a travel day and I got back that night. It was fun but very tiring. I was so glad to see my husband and sweet baby boy. I missed them so much!!!

I am really funny about what I eat sometimes. The picture below was a salad that we had to eat the second night. It looked very unappetizing and it took a little while to figure out what it was. A girl that I went with wouldn't even let the waitress give her a plate of this. It was pretty funny. I got my camera out and took a quick picture. I was really excited to find a Wendy's in the airport on the way home.

Saturday we left Jackson around noon and headed to Starkville for the Florida game. This was a big game for State and we played Florida pretty good minus a few bad calls on the refs. Abbey and Brandon had a great time as usual. Dennis said that Brandon was all into the game. He said that he would stand up and start ringing his cowbell when everyone else was sitting down. He even knew what Tim Tewbow's number was without having to be told. My mom and I sat with Coleson in a different section. We were in a section that had concrete around it that blocked the wind. It was much better for Coleson.
