Harry Potter: The End is Near

 I suppose the end isn't near, but then end of Harry Potter has come.  I didn't get into to Harry Potter until about 4 years ago.  I watched a couple of the movies and they weren't so bad, so I decided I wanted to read the books.  So that's what I did, and I was hooked.  So since the final movie came out at midnight last night, I figured I might as well go out with a bang.  I have never gone to a midnight showing before, so this was all new to me, but it was a lot of fun.

Started the evening off with a game of spades!

Almost time for the movie!

The movie was really good :) Good for the end of the movies, of course it still doesn't do the books justice.  But what movie does.  Until the next adventure....!

Now it feels like summer

I can officially say it now feels like summer after the awesome weekend I had.  I did all kinds of summer-y things!  Friday night a group of us went out to the Drillers game.  I hadn't been to one yet this season.  Now, I'm not a HUGE baseball fan.  Don't get me wrong I enjoy it, but I don't know if it's so much for the actual game or the environment.  I LOVE the baseball environment ha.

Dippin Dots!!!! So good!

Saturday we spent the afternoon laying out by the pool, which is always glorious.  Except we felt bad because  these church youth kids were doing some yard work at the pool we were at and it was really hot outside and I'm sure all they really wanted to do was jump into the pool.  And there we were just lounging around.  We rounded out the night with dinner at Cheddars (always good), a humorous movie, and a snowcone of course!

 

Sunday I spend the afternoon going over some wedding items with my future mother-in-law.  Ellie Kate kept us company while enjoying some cheetos :) And sporting her red, white, and blue.  

4 more days till I leave to go see Ricky!  I'll have a huge post about it after and all the new and exciting things coming up in my life :)

And then I ran 13.1 miles.....Again....

This past weekend was a whirlwind, that's for sure.  It all started Thursday night where I had a much needed girls night.  Nothing makes girls night better than mexican food and a chick flick haha.

Me and Megan getting ready to enjoy HP 7

Friday night we went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1!!!  It was so incredible!  I can't wait for the final part to come out next summer.




Saturday was such a whirlwind.  I had a coupon to one of my all time favorite clothing stores, and I just couldn't resist using it, so I went and bought quite a few things and because of all the sales and coupons, I saved $130! I got a few other things finished and made it back home to finish watching my Cowboys beat Kansas.  After a much needed nap I headed over to a friends house that was hosting a birthday party for Megan!  It was of course a Harry Potter themed party :)

Sunday started off early as we headed to Veterans Park in Tulsa to run a ridiculous amount of miles.  Ricky was gearing up to run 26.2 miles while Bryan and I were mentally preparing ourselves for 13.1.  I personally had a really tough time with this one, even though this was the third half marathon I had ran.  But I still managed to finish!

The thing with the pop is that Bryan and I decided to give up pop until the race, so for 5 months neither of us drank any type of soda.....it was so tough, so of course Megan has us some at the finish line :)

First pop in 5 months

Ricky did fantastic for his first marathon!  I'm so proud of him and not sure I could ever do that.  He wanted to take a picture like some of the Olympians do haha.  

To top off the weekend, Amy, Megan, and I went to see Wicked Sunday night.  This was my 4th time to see it and it was just as good as the first time.  And of course I still cried even though I knew exactly what happened.  I LOVE Wicked!!!!

That concludes this eventful weekend, next up....BEDLAM!!!  Go Cowboys!!!  

ORANGE POWER!
