Sanitary Landfill

So this weekend I went with Casey to Ballinger, TX to have an early Thanksgiving with his parents!! Absolutely awesome. On the drive there (after my little nap in the back seat) I was looking out the window to see a sign: Sanitary Landfill. ???? How do you have a Sanitary Landfill? So, if you are ever headed to Ballinger, TX from Austin, you just might see that sign. I thought it was funny and wanted to share.

Anyway, last week was busy, studying, studying, and an anatomy test on Wednesday! Not so fun, but it is almost over for the semester, just 4 more weeks of actual class I believe. Yikes!! It has gone by so quickly.

Thursday I only had one class, which was amazing. I did some work for Splashway and managed to get a 6 mile run in!! I was so proud of myself, although my knees were not very happy with me after my run. I'm hoping that as I continue to train and get new shoes and stretch, etc, I will not be as sore after my long runs. After my run, i got myself ready to head out for the weekend.

So I headed to Austin on Friday after class and met up with my friend Jenna for dinner, amazing to catch up with her. Then Casey and I went to see "The Men Who Stare at Goats". It was so funny. We have not stopped quoting the movie.

I had a pretty awesome weekend. We had Thanksgiving lunch with his parents on Saturday. There was so much food I just did not know where to begin! Delicious!! Then we went for a walk so I don't have to feel too guilty for gorging myself all weekend and not really working out! That night we met up with some friends for dinner, got some Facebook Farmville pointers (it is absurd that we actually had a 20 minute conversation about Farmville strategy, we are such nerds :) After dinner Casey and I headed to San Angelo to do a little dancing and people watching at the Graham's Central Station. Good fun, but I'm so used to Austin's smoke-free environment that it is hard to get used to a bar that people can smoke in. We called it an early night and headed back to Ballinger to do a little star-gazing and then head to sleep. I woke up to a home cooked breakfast casserole and hash browns from scratch that his mom made. Once we loaded up leftovers at Casey's mother's insistance, we headed back to Austin. It was a great weekend and I was extremely exhausted, but loved every minute of the weekend!

I am ready to tackle this weeks since we really don't have any classes next week, which is amazing. I won't have that luxury for very long.

So... the Holiday rat race has begun!!! I love the holidays. I get to spend time with family and friends and celebrate all the amazing people and blessings that I have in my life!!

Well... I believe this is scattered enough for one post. Have an amazing week!!
