Toyota Texas Bass Classic

Well it sure has been a busy couple of weeks! A couple of weeks ago I got to go to the Toyota Texas Bass Classic at Lake Conroe in Conroe, TX. This was kind a new for me since we were not putting the tournament on just doing all the production for it. It was nice to see both side of tournaments. When we put on a tournament we do it from registration to weigh-in so it was nice to have someone else do all the planning. They started with the Top 50 Pros in Bass Fishing-15 from FLW, 15 from BASS and 15 from PAA with 5 sponsor exemptions. It was a 3 day tournament starting on Friday and ending on Sunday with only the Top 10 fishing. Another thing I really liked was take off was at 8 every morning which sure does beat 6. They had concerts each night after weigh-in and we had all access passes so that was awesome. I'm usually not a huge groupie kinda of girl but I do really like Dierks Bentley and he was there Friday night!!! Here are a couple pictures from his awesome concert. I fully used by pass to get as close as I could :)

Friday the weather was so pretty sunny and warm well that quickly changed Saturday and Sunday. Saturday it rained all day. I light to medium no lighting rain and a cold wind. After being a wet mess for most of the day we decided not to stay Saturday night for the Gray Allen concert. But before we could leave we had to get the camera off the jib and make sure the jib was safe for the people in the crowd. Sounds so easy right.....wrong. Image it has rained all day so it is a muddy mess and everyone has being drinking since noon.So the jib is roped off by a tiny piece of rope and there are thousands of people. First the drunk girl next to us kept getting inside the rope and I bet I told her 5 times to get out and she was like oh other side of the rope ok. Then another drunk girl passed out and they had to call the EMTs right next to us. after that another teenage non drunk girl got hurt and we had to lift her over and out. Then two grown drunk men tried to start a fight with a teenage boy and his girl. Finally we got everything off the job and security to watch it. It was a crazy drunken mess and I'm so glad we got to leave!!

Sunday was a fun day but also cold and rainy. Jake Owen was the entertainment Sunday night so that was not to bad ;).

Congrats to Brain Thrift for winning the 2012 TTBC! I hope we get go back next year cause it was a interesting fun adventure!

The In-laws in the Outlaw State

Jackson parents got to come see us in Texas last week :) After a wonderful wedding in Houston we headed to San Antonio on Sunday morning. No trip to Texas is complete without a stop at Buc-ee's which is a huge(we are in Texas) gas station. They have tons of homemade products and candies but my favorite thing are the fruit kolaches!! Alabama is missing out...they are so good! For lunch we stopped at Bun N Barrel a barbecue pit that was also on Diners Drive-Ins & Dives. They got to go to church with us on Sunday night and we ate at a Mexican restaurant next to church. I'm glad they got to taste some Texas Mexican food. We ended the weekend at Floores Country Store and Jeanie & Aub got to dance. It's a famous dance hall in Helotes just outside of San Antonio. Jackson's mom likes to shop so we headed up to the outlet mall on Monday. First we had lunch at Dough! It's a Napoletana Pizza place and it's so good!! After a day of shopping we went to the historic town of Gruene, TX. We had dinner at the Gristmill River Restaurant over looking the Guadalupe River.

Dinner at Gristmill :)

We visited some of the shops in downtown Gruene. We ended our night at other dance hall Gruene Hall

Our find at the General Store

The Agee's had to leave Wednesday morning so we saved the best for last.....the Riverwalk :) Tuesday we had lunch at the Taco Truck. Jackson had to go to a job interview so I took Mrs Jeanie to HEB. It's only the best grocery store ever!! She of course loved it. When Jackson got back to headed Downtown. We got to tour the Alamo which was very interesting.

Then we were off to the Riverwalk :) We had dinner right next to the water at Boudro's Texas Bistro. It was so good and a great way to end their trip.

Dinner on the Riverwalk

We had so much fun with Jeanie and Aub!!! Can't wait for them to come back!!

Pinterest Projects :)

So I pretty much love Pinterest as most of you know! Here are a couple of things I have done lately.
How's it Hanging? A Flop Tutorial- I like this one because it helps free up some floor space in the closet

just twist a hanger

add a bow and hang your shoes

Organization Board Tutorial from Girl Loves Glam- She has everything you need on her blog :) 

:) 

Love! 

A picture frame key holder

I can't find the pin but Hobby Lobby cardboard letter, spray paint and craft paper

Scarf Hanger Organization- Gives you so much more room in the closet!!

Hopefully I don't need these in Texas

Freezer meals- Today since I was off I made some meals to freeze so after long days I can still have a descent meal.

No Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake- Super easy and so good!!!

I have had the last couple of weekends off so I have got to do a lot of projects. Glad that sweet Jackson likes to help me with all the project :) More to come.....

10 months of Texas :)

Can't believe I have been in Texas for 10 months :) It has been great so far! We have made so many great friends here. I really like my new job and all my co-workers. San Antonio is a fun place to live. We are Zoo members....we have a awesome Zoo......and have season passes to Six Flags. Jackson has got to fish on some of the famed lakes here and I have been to a couple tournaments on them. Everyone thinks since I work in fishing that I get to go all the time but I have not been once yet. We have a tournament in Oct at Lake Amistad so hopefully I will get to wet a line there. We recently signed up for flag football and softball leagues with our roommate. It's fun to do something competitive again. We also have a whiffle ball leagues with some of my coworkers and friends. I forgot how much fun whiffle ball was. We miss our families so I'm excited to see everyone next month for Joe and Leah's wedding :) Then we will be back in Bama for Thanksgiving. Here are some random fun Texas pictures :) Enjoy!

Happy Bday Jackson....Memories in my Mind

First Happy Bday to my sweet Jackson!!!! (on Sat Aug 4)  We started the bday off with a road trip to Houston. Our friends just moved there about a month ago. We got there kind of late on Friday and stayed up way to late catching up. They are so dear to us and we love being around them. Cole our roommate with us  too. Paige and Chad have two sweet boys so we all got up early Sat because the boys were so excited to see us. After breakfast we got ready to go to a shower for our cousins Joe and Leah :) It was such a sweet shower. Leah is perfect for Joe!! I love to see the love they have for each other. We got to see Coach and Anne too! Love them!!! After the shower we went to Paige's parents house for some swimming.  They are the sweetest people!! After a day of swimming, hanging out, and going on the boat Steve Paige's dad made Jackson a big steak dinner. It was a perfect Bday for Jackson! I also remembered a story Jackson told me when we first started dating like 5 years ago about a birthday cake he had when he was younger. They all loved Army men when they were younger so Jackson wanted an Army man cake. Well what he got was a man in an all brown suit......Army men have camo not just brown. So this year I made him an Army man cake.

Don't judge it was made with love

At this time I would post all kinds of pictures of the fun things we did BUT I was having to much fun to take out my camera. Looking back I wish I would have taken a ton of pictures to remember all the fun we had with our friends but I'm glad that all the fun, love, friendships, and memories are burned in my mind :) God really has blessed us with some life long friends here in such a short time.

Best Baby Shower Ever!

I went to Bama last weekend for my friend Chelsey's baby shower. I got into Florence Friday night to help Jess get everything ready. I also got to see baby Deegan for the first time :)

He was looking at me :)

After my wonderful visit with Beau, Sarah and Deegan I was back to help Jess. We cleaned up the house, got some treats ready, and talked about some games to play. We were both pretty tried so we called it an early night. The next morning we watching the Olympics when we get the call. Our sweet Chelsey was having contractions and was at Helen Keller Hospital in Tuscumbia. So what did we do? Forget about the party.....NO.....take the party to her! Shiloh met us at Jess's and we packed up the party and headed to the hospital. Chelsey was not feeling her best but I think we lifted her spirits just by here and of course the presented helped too. It was so good to see her!! She is going to make the best mommy!! At first they thought she may have to stay for a while but she got to go home Sunday afternoon. I can't wait to meet Brayden.

Party at the hospital

I think we all will remember the BEST baby shower ever!!!

It's Been a While

Well it's been a while so here is an update on the Agee's. We now have a roommate :) Well a new roommate and a puppy. Our friend Cole and his sweet puppy Trick will be staying with us.

Trick :)

 I also finished the kitchen curtains. I need to start a new pinterest project list because I'm almost to the end of mine. We went to float the "river" last weekend. The rivers here are like creeks back in Bama.

 I will be heading to Tennessee/Alabama tomorrow!!! I can't wait to see my family and friends!!! We are having a 902 girls reunion so that should be a good time!

902 Girls

I'm excited to see Jenny, Ericka, Jessica's new house, Chelsey's baby bump, my tourism co-workers, baby Deegan, my mom and hopefully mother-in-law, Chris Jones, and Handy Fest!!! This is going to be a great weekend!

Disney and ICAST

It is nice to be home :) Just got back from Orlando for ICAST which is a fishing show. I was so excited to go because I got to see my old roomie/best friend Lindsay Walker!!!! Its been a couple of years since I have seen her so it was so much fun to spend some time with her! I also got to spend a day at Disney :) I hit all four parks and rode all the major rides so it was a long but fun day. It's hot in Texas but really it's a dry hot and I forgot how humid it was in the deep south.

Love :)

Animal Kingdom

Then after a day of fun it was time for work. Tuesday we set up the booth and the show started Wednesday. I had a good show and hopefully we will get some new partnerships out of it. I have no more work travel till the end of Sept. so now back to finishing up the house. I'm so excited about Joe and Leah coming to see us next Friday and then the Friday after that going to Bama for Chelsey's baby shower. Excited to see my 902 girls and my sweet mom! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Pinning My Life Away

I have done a couple of new Pinterest project lately :) The first one I saw a long time ago and found the frame like 3 months ago but no time to do it. Here is the pin just in case you want to try-Family Photo Frame. Now that tournament season is over I have a little more time for the house. Here is what the picture started out like.

Why would I not want this in the house?

 

Over the fireplace

Yay :)

I really liked the finished product. We will have it over the fireplace till be get a flat screen :) We had some really good pictures thanks to Maple Left Photography. All I did to make this was paint the frame black, then used fabric glue to glue the fabric to the lions, and the last part was we used wood screws to hold the picture frames up. Another much easier pin I did was a 4th of July cake. Mine was much smaller since it was just me, Jackson and Cole.

first layer two more to go

My next project was for the master bath. I also have had this pinned for a while. I thought this was a neat way to keep your products where you can get to them but still keep the counters clean. You use spice racks to keep all your hair care products off the counter. On the pin it shows you the ladies bath room but it's the second picture.

I could not find the same spice racks so I found this at Jo-Ann's Fabric. I also added a magnet on the bottom so I can put all my bobby pins.

Up in the bathroom :) 

matches my make-up board 

We have a couple more projects that we hope to get done in the next couple weeks so stayed tuned. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Trip to Paris....Paris, TN

We had our last college tournament on June, 24-25 in Paris, TN. Paris is about 2 hours from Nashville so Jenny got to come see me! So of course we did all the tourist things to do in Paris.
Like see the Eiffel Tower

And visit the local winery

Jenny's bottle is in the shape of the Eiffel Tower

 Eat yummy Mexican...which I miss so much!

Paris, TN home to the world's biggest fish fry

Me Making Curtains???

As most of you know I love pinterest!! I think one of the first things I pinned was No Sew Roman Shades. I was hoping to make them for the kitchen. After a very busy fishing tournament season I finally got around to making them.....well at least starting them.

Getting ready to cut the fabric

Just need to add trim :)

Yellow trim to finish it off

I just have to let it dry tonight then I can put it up tomorrow :) I really like how they turned out!!! I have two more windows to do in the no sew then a couple of big windows. Hopefully we will get the kitchen all decorated out before to long. I'm excited the house is coming together! More pictures to follow.
