Hey folks, sorry for my unexpected break from blogging, but I just couldn't bring myself to blog after work and other things going on. This past weekend was all about football though. If you guys didn't realize or live under a rock someplace far far away, the Super Bowl was in Houston this past weekend and it was super exciting to be living in that excitement for almost a week before the actual game. For me since I drive past the stadium on a daily basis going and coming from work I got to see the transformation of NRG as it prepared for the big game.
We knew we wanted to head downtown to catch the events happening for the Super Bowl so hubs and I decided Friday after work would be a good time. It was such a fun atmosphere and I'm so glad we were able to go even though it was freezing cold, I know I know I am a disappointment to cold weather folks everywhere, but we were not prepared for the cold temps Houston showed us Friday evening!
The Puppy Bowl area was most definitely my favorite because duh, cute puppies!!
The Fox Sports area was interviewing former NFL player Vince Young.
Saturday was spent mostly lounging around and watching cheesy Hallmark Valentine's movies. A and I did take a nice visit to Target to get a few things I needed, he was mostly there to stop me from buying unnecessary things, which actually worked! We ended the night by watching the documentary on HBO Beware the Slenderman, definitely an interesting docu, but not the best to watch right before bed!
Sunday morning started out with another lazy day, obviously, but then in the evening we headed to a family friends house for a bit for their Super Bowl party. It was great seeing everyone and catching up again. Afterwards we headed to our cousins house to watch the rest of the game and eat some pizza & wings...perfect combo for the biggest football game of the year!
I was definitely bummed with the outcome of the game, but the halftime show with Lady Gaga was incredible and entertaining along with a few of the commercials as well.

Linking up with Biana who I'm sure is celebrating this win for her city!

While we were heading to the Super Bowl party we passed the Sugar Land Airport and saw the numerous private jets parked there, assumably to all the celebrities and famous people they belong to. We heard a lot of the jets taking off at night so I assume these people want to make it out of here before the air traffic sets in for tomorrow.
