Wednesday we went to Carrie Underwood and Billy Currington with my brother and his girlfriend. It was wonderful, and made me love Billy Currington even more than ever. So, with this our 'country western' side got some love. Then Friday we took my dad to see Shakira, and he absolutely loved it which was the most important thing! Right there we got to please a family member and get in touch with our Spanish music-belly dancing-concert side.
Saturday we hit up some festivals! Beautiful October weather made being outside completely fabulous and we had a blast. We went to the Bayou City Art Fest, and it was amazing! So many incredible artists from all over with genuine talent and vision. We came home with a couple of things, but our favorite was a print for our formal dining room (whenever we actually get around to furnishing and decorating it!). It will perfectly tie in the colors of the room, and I just love it!
Afterward, we went to a brand new restaurant called Jus' Mac. It is in The Heights, close to where I work, and I have been anxiously awaiting their opening. They only serve Mac and Cheese, but they do it all up in fun, fancy ways. It was amazingly good, comfort food to the extreme, and we will definitely be repeat customers! I mean they have fresh Gerber Daisies on each table, what is not to love!
We then hit up Greek Fest with some friends. Awesome food, friends, and finds. We got this great lantern for the mantle...pictures to come. Then we will all went to do some hookah, and wrapped up our night with good company and good laughs. So, in one day we were able to be cultured-artistic-foodie-shopping fools!
The best part comes today. Living in Houston means I am close to my family, and today we are all headed to my brother's for burgers and family time. We will end our evening at a Dynamo game which will allow us to get in touch with our sporty sides too. It has been a successful week, and our love for Houston is ever growing!
