Jenny’s & Kemp’s Wedding

October 27, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’m going to cheat and write as if I published this yesterday because I didn’t get home til almost one am and I was pooped from the drive.

2019 | Sissy's Birthday Celebration at Sushi 9

I was supposed to meet up with Jakob for lunch but due to timing and having to drive to Montgomery for the wedding our timing didn’t work out as planned. Instead I had lunch with Sissy and the family to celebrate her birthday at Sushi 9.

Jenny & Kemp Wedding | Montgomery, Texas

After running a couple of errands I headed to my over an hour drive to Montgomery, Texas for Jenny and Kemp’s wedding. The drive wasn’t as bad as I thought and seeing this sight made my heart happy.

I was kind of feeling myself since I haven’t put on full eye makeup in a long time.

Her decorations were on point and I loved the wooden name touch. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it but I love it.

There was an announcement to not take pictures during the ceremony but I’m a rebel. But don’t worry, they photographer and videographer were standing next to where I was sitting so I wasn’t in their way!

I finally got to meet Emma, Wacko & Monica’s daughter. She’s already so grown! She was very shy but still uttered hello to me and gave me high fives and kisses.

They catered from Goode Barbeque and had open bar. Everything from the venue to the food and drinks were on point. I’ve found out I like Crown Apple with Cranberry juice as well.

I was lucky to snag a picture with the lovely couple. Her dress was so freaking gorgeous! Speaking of dresses, my dress had both the bridesmaid and groomsmen colours! How crazy on point was that.

These two are so silly, so loving, and so perfect for one another. They’ve both grown a lot as well and I’m so honoured to have witness them tie the knot.

It was also great to see familiar faces again too. Well other than Wacko since I work with him and see him practically every day.

But this family always makes me feel very welcomed and always makes me feel like I belong. There were no anxieties walking into the Big Sky Barn alone because I knew with them I felt at home.

It was a gorgeous wedding. We danced the night away and caught up. There was drunk talk, drunk crying, and drunk love. Don’t worry, that wasn’t me. But I witnessed it all and my heart is full with love for each and every one of them.

The drive home wasn’t horrible since I was still high from all the love and fun we had.

Rizzo & Luna’s Reunion

October 26, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Rizzo and Purple Dog

Scruffy and I met up to catch up at the dog park and Rizzo got to see Luna. It’s funny how the world works because I realized today marks one whole year since we broke up. Per usual, Luna was too into the ball but I got some pets in and was able to throw her a few balls. We all walked several laps as well. I’m sure Rizzo was happy to get out of the house because after his shower all he wanted to do was go under the blankets and sleep.

Yummy Crawfish and Seafood | Katy, Texas | Snow Crab, Shrimp, Oysters

My boss gave me an okay to use the corporate card for a certain amount to take a loved one somewhere nice to dinner this weekend. I took Mum and we chose Yummy Crawfish and Seafood since it was close and we got to get a lot for our buck. My eyes, per usual, was bigger than my stomach.

Kim's Teahouse | Katy, Texas | Taro Smoothie

We stopped by Kim’s Teahouse to pick up a few drinks as well. We’re sipping and watching the Astros dominate. Come on ‘Stros!

Matching BBBS, Mentoring, Initial Lasik Checkup

October 22, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I received an email from Big Brothers Big Sisters today! I’ve matched with a mentee! I’m excited to see where this goes. I heard it’s hard to get selected and once selected you don’t always get matched so my heart is a little on the happy side right now. Eeep!

Elementary Mentoring | Guess Who

I finally got to see my 3rd grader today. We played with Christopher’s kid as well. War, Connect Four, Guess Who, etc. All the kids were a little off the walls today but I guess it was a nice break from work.

Joffe Medicenter | Houston, Texas | Initial Checkup

Luckily I got to leave early so that I could make it to my initial checkup on my eyes. Their machine goes down to 20/15 so I’m not sure if my eyes are better than that but what good news! The only thing is waiting for my astigmatism to slowly correct itself. It’s not horrible but they said that my eyes will adjust with time so fingers crossed!

Homemade Pizzas

Dented Door

Someone from work apparently dented my car door today. My heart. 🙁 Hopefully it’ll pop back out or I’ll pour hot water in hopes it’ll pop out. I hate people.

Los Balitos | Texas Burrito

Bought a late lunch from Los Balitos. The Texas Burrito with their homemade Arizona hot sauce hits the spot. Then I had a food coma and took a nap.

Priscilla's | Homemade Pizza Making

I drove to Priscilla for a hangout. It’s a been a long while. She decided to make homemade pizzas and even went to the store for more crusts since she accidentally got a thick crust of one.

Priscilla's | Homemade Pizza and Wine

My pizza came out perfect. I don’t care for pizza but I won’t lie, it was delicious. And the wine I brought over went well.

We’re currently watching the new Aladdin and it’s good so far!

2019 Houston Astros American League Division Series Winners

October 10, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Meetings after meetings. I’m still behind on work due to the vacation but luckily no one will really be in tomorrow so I have all day to do my thing.

Spaghetti by BIL

I skipped mentoring since yesterday night we made a spontaneous decision to go to the final for Division Series. I went to Sissy and BIL’s house and was greeted by spaghetti for dinner. It doesn’t look like anything but there was faux ground meat and vegetables hidden on the bottom. Yum!

2019 | Astros | American League Division Series Winners | Ticket

We walked to Minute Maid to watch the final to find out who will advance to the Championship Series. We got towels to swing around which the girl in front of us kept hitting us in the face. Ugh. And a guy spilled beer all over us from the back to back home runs.

2019 | Astros | American League Division Series Winners

And we win!! 6-1! It was an unbelievable game. The atmosphere is crazy. I’m pretty sure I’m deaf in one ear. I need to do more spontaneous things because although I was tired, it was worth it!

Truly Hard Seltzer

We walked back and watching recaps while celebrating with a Truly Hard Seltzer. I still like White Claw more since Truly is way sweeter.

Hoping tomorrow will be an easy day!
