Sweet Home College Station

This past weekend Todd and I got to go back to College Station for the Texas Tech game and catch up with some friends. Because I managed to work several 10 hour days last week I got off on Friday at 2pm so we were able to start the 5 hour drive A LOT earlier. We made it into CS by about 8pm where we checked into the bed and breakfast we were staying at. (we've never stayed in one together or separate so we were excited about this)






The B&B was really fun to stay at, kind of a home away from home. We paid what we would have paid for a hotel and had all the luxuries of home plus free food and drinks (water, milk, juice) so it was nice.

Driving around Friday night and Saturday morning we had a lot of "when did that get here?", "Look how that has changed!", etc. moments. Needless to say we had our first realization how removed we really are from Texas A&M.

Saturday we went to the game. While we didn't get a win, it was MUCH more of a game then we expected to see, we had really great seats and we got to be in Kyle field :) It was a little sad knowing that we may not be back in College Station for several years.



Sunday we visited two of the places that we frequented while we were dating and got to relive some very fond memories. We first had coffee at Coffee Station, where we used to meet and study, talk or just hang out. Then for lunch we went to Cafe Eccell where we went every month on our anniversary and also our graduation party and got their famous strawberry tart! It's seriously heaven on a plate!

After a long drive back with a stop to see my parents in Austin we made it back to Abilene to start the new week. This week I have a fairly busy week at work and Todd has a pretty slow week. Saturday is our big 20 mile training run which officially peaks or marathon training and then we will be going to the Squadron Halloween party-which is sure to be a great time.
