Weekend Recap!

Heya! How was the weekend?! Mine was summertastic. I took a lot of photos, so I'll just dive right in...

Thursday, headed to an outdoor concert at Utica Square (kinda like a small version of the Plaza in Kansas City). It's weekly all summer long and last year, I didnt go once. *head hung in shame* I'm one of those people who get all puffed up and defensive when someone says there's nothing to do in Tulsa b/c there IS plenty to do if you just look for it.. and yet I didn't go to Utica once last year.. haha.. Whatever. Grabbed our lawn chairs (and some vino) and hung out with the rest of the crowd. (Ps.. some people bring entire picnic tables and meals. It's kinda hilarious. Just sayin.).
Friday, a group of us headed down to watch Tulsa T0ugh. It's an annual bike race through the streets of downtown (see.. plenty to do here!) It's actually become known as one of the top 5 pro races. Eric (who rides) explained the whole "team" biking thing to me which is actually quite interesting. I'll spare you, but I'm intrigued by it all. Anyway, good times...
The night was filled with....

....Eric photo bombing people.
...me making Eric pose cheesy-like in front of downtown....
...more racing...
....cow bells (you ring them as the runners pass to show support)
...the photo emotion game.. (Side note: Alove and I play it sometimes. Name an emotion and/or state of being...just before snapping a self portrait.) I dont know what the emotion was here (I'm lying.. I just dont want to disturb you), but it turned out awesomeness...
Tulsa T0ugh=good times.

Saturday, I was determined to run errands....until Sara text me "Wanna go to the pool at (guy she's dating's) house?" I mulled over it for about 30 seconds before rushing home and throwing on my swimsuit...
Saturday night, Eric and some friends headed to see Get Him to the Gre*k... It was HILARIOUS...except when it tried to get serious. But I just kinda ignore the serious part and am going with my verdict of hilarious.Annnnd b/c I never post pics (or even take them for that matter) of Eric and me at our favorite Mexican restaurant, I made his brother take one Saturday night. You can't really see the restaurant, but whatever.. it's for the memories, people.
Finally, I'm posting a photo of what my boyfriend (notice how I call him "my boyfriend" instead of his name whenever he totally shows me up? Yeah) made for dinner. Yes, he made awesome enchiladas and mine would have turned out looking like..well...probably not like this. I take that back.. I could make mine look like this if the Pioneer Woman had a recipe with photos. (Isn't she freaking awesome?!). Anyway.... hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Love the emotion pics. I should start this with my friends. It is always beneficial to make friends with people that have pools. :)

I want to go to that pool, looks awesome!

That pool looks like something out of a magazine! And, I have to know which Mexican rest is your favorite...we're always trying to find new ones to try out (besides always going downtown to El Guapo).

Wow, you had a packed out weekend! Looks and sounds like it was a great one though!

What a fun weekend! I love your dress from the outdoor concert. Super cute!
Also- I am totally loving the bike racing thing- I wish we had something like that here. Well, we do have a really long bike-the-state type journey, but it involves camping, which is so not my thing. Anyways- Happy Monday lady!

Hello lovah! I am so very very sorry that I didn't get to see you while I was in T-town, but it was just a wild whirlwind of a trip. The heat had me permanently exhausted and cranky, I could never find a wifi signal to email people, I kept getting awoken at night by scary thunderstorms and barking dogs and my inlaw's loud drunk neighbors... it sounds silly, but being back in LA has never felt so relaxing.

I will see you on my next visit, I promise -- or better yet, come on out to SoCal! Love you bunches! xoxo
