In Houston with the Corsos

Last friday I took a half day off of work and Stephen and I headed over for a weekend in Houston with the Corsos. That evening we went to the Pavilion in the Woodlands for the Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, and Jimmy Wayne concert. Before the concert we picked up my wedding bouquet that I had made into a floral portrait, http://www.thefloralportrait.com/. It is beautiful and I love it. Once we found a parking spot for the concert we made our way in and up to the lawn, where we set up our "spot". Stef brought along a tarp for us to sit on since it had been raining earlier that day. We found the perfect spot where we could see the whole stage. The concert was awesome from start to finish. This was my and Stephen's first time to see Brad Paisley and it was great! Dierks Bentley is always fun to watch too;) Saturday we slept till 10 am. I haven't done that in forever. We got up and Stef had a breakfast ready for us to heat in the oven, yummy, stuffed French toast casserole. Then Stephen and I got ready for the day and were heading out to do some outlet shopping. I pointed out that his front passenger side tire was a little low on air, so off to get air we went. Stephen then saw that there was a piece of metal in the tire and it would need to be patched, so off to Wal-Mart we went (across the parking lot). There they told us that it could not be patched because the piece of metal was in one side of the tire and out another, so off to the nearest Pep Boys we went. After following the GPS the wrong way for about 40 minutes we finally managed to make it to the shop. We had gone back to get my car in the mean time, so we were able to drop the truck off and get back to our fun visit. Needless to say we aborted our mission of outlet shopping. The new focus was the LSU football game that started in about 2 hours. Where to watch the game and where to eat dinner? Buffalo Wild Wings! We picked up Stephen's truck on the way and we made it to our table facing the gigantic game screen just at kickoff. That was a close call. We ordered a round of drinks and even encouraged Matt to venture out and try the spicy hot wings. After the game we walked over to Pubfiction. There we met up with a group of Matt's buddies that he works with and their wives/girlfriends. We had so much fun meeting new people, drinking fun "pretty drinks", and dancing the night away. We can't wait for another fun visit to Houston with Stef and Matt.
