Mavs, Fair, Lion King...Oh My!

This week has been very active for a work week.  It started off with Monday night going to the first game for the Dallas Mavericks pre-season.  We both really love the Mavs and really love basketball so it was great to be able to get back to the sport with the first game.  The night started at one of our favorite restaurants in Dallas.  Victory Tavern.  It is where we went on one of our first dates and it is also where he proposed.  Awwww.  And...AND...it is right across from the AAC.  You can literally sit on the patio and be looking at the  AAC.  See! 

We ordered one of our favorites, Mac and Cheese, and then tried something new.  Their Crab Nachos! They were really good.  Washed down with some wine and the weather was perfect so we people watched until it was time to head inside.

Since it was pre season it was way easier to get middle court upper level seats.  We both feel like we have been all over the AAC for seats and as much as fun as court side was (see engagement story) upper level middle really does have the best view. 

I feel like you can see all the action, but the down side is you can't FEEL all the action.  The Mavs ended up losing, but we got to see 2 up and coming players.  You have "easy on the eyes" Gal Mekel, who I think they are setting up to be the next thing. Look at him! very. nice. 

And then you have Jae Crowder.  This is his 2nd year playing professional ball, but he put up some good numbers.  He is someone I'm going to keep my eye on for sure!

Tuesday was boring. Blah Tuesday. Boo You.  We both ran and then sat around the house in silence until one of us managed to make dinner.  Wednesday was exciting!  Home Depot!  I won't bore you with the house duties.  Thursday...tonight...was spent going to the fair and then seeing the last Dallas Summer Musical of the series.  Preston bought me the whole season as my birthday gift this year and it has been wonderful!  So wonderful that I renewed our tickets and then got an email from Preston about 2 hours later saying, "so I see you renewed the DSM tickets."  I was like, "What? How did you...what."  I failed to remember that it was all under his name so he got the email notification of purchase.  Opps. SURPRISE!  Anyway, so here are the pictures of our Thursday.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!  We are going camping to get out of Dallas.  It's TX/OU weekend and we can't stand being here.  It doesn't help that we live a mile from where the game is playing.  Makes it even worse for traffic.  Ugh.
