Weekend recap

We had kind of a busy weekend even though we stayed close to "home." Friday night we had dinner at Mama Carolla's (my favorite restaurant these days) and it was delicious. We had to eat inside due to it being late Fall and all and the tables are pretty cramped. We sat next to the craziest couple who were having heated arguments about having children and how both of them stepped out on their marriage with the same person. Yep. It was intense and odd. I was actually kind of happy to leave the restaurant in the end. HA! 

Saturday morning we had boot camp as I've already blogged about once. I still maintain that it was intense. I met my friend Megan Parton for lunch in Carmel that day, too. It is so nice to have her back in the area after her husband ended his military service. We chatted for over three hours. That was the second time this week that I'd sat with a friend chatting for over three hours as I did that Monday with my friend Amber. I guess I have a lot to say?! After lunch I had to run over to get a Notre Dame shirt as a joke for a dinner we had that evening. 

I have a real hatred for Notre Dame football.

We had dinner with two other couples (the "triple date") at a restaurant that was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives called "Zest" in Broad Ripple. My friend set the time as 8 pm and mentioned that it would interrupt my ND football viewing (he is an alum of that fine institution). I wrote back, joking, saying that I'd be there in my blue and gold. I decided it would be REALLY funny to show up in blue and gold so I went and grabbed a shirt. I don't think everyone else thought it was as funny as I did. I hate when that happens. This will be a good shirt that I don't like and can wear to nasty boot camp. ;)

Fish Tacos

Anyway, Zest was a bit disappointing. The prices were insane. I had the fish tacos and they were actually really good. We also shared a side dish of mac-n-cheese that was quite tasty. Jackson went with chicken and waffles. It was not amazing by any means. Those three things cost us $53! HOLY COW! I hate expensive food. We finished dinner just in time to watch Notre Dame win their game. Tear. It was still nice to see our friends, though. The weather was gorgeous and I enjoyed one last day of convertible driving. I'm sure my top won't drop now until 2013.

The fanciest chicken and waffles ever

Look at that form... :)

Today was another gorgeous day so after getting a pedicure (life is good!) I met Jackson at the driving range to "coach" him through a practice session. He was rusty for the first 5-10 hits and then he was back in the game. That is SO unfair. I know. I was rusty and wasn't able to shake it...I don't know that I'll ever shake it off.

What a cute little golfer

An action shot! Check out those sleeves and the ball in the air- COOL! 

I am always jealous of how quickly Jackson returns to awesome golfer status after not playing for long periods. He said hitting the ball helped him recover from boot camp. We've both been pretty sore today. I met my friend Shaya at yoga this evening and that stretching seemed to help my pain. Jackson had to nerve to go with me to the gym and run a 5k. Show off. ;)

Now I'm finally curled up with my little dog watching some football and preparing for another busy week at work. (My Mom would be shocked at how relaxed I am right now!)

P.S. We're both expecting some big career news this week and would appreciate positive thoughts and prayers.
