outstanding

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! I have an announcement:

On this day, Baylor University awarded yours truly, Mr. Tate, as the OUTSTANDING Graduate Student Instructor of 2011! Way to go! Nominations were based off of course evaluations filled out at the end of last semester by his students. He taught {and is currently teaching} three Intro to Environmental Science labs and is apparently awesome OUTSTANDING at it. We didn't want the excitement to end there, so we kept the ball rolling...

First things first, we took a trip to the bank where we received an OUTSTANDING amount of $32. Not that it needs an explanation- but it is the end of the month, and we are low on cash, so it was a priority to make a stop by the bank for me to cash my Waco ISD mileage reimbursement. A girl's gotta take her OUTSTANDING man out on the town!

Next, we hit up the OUTSTANDING dog park...it really is. 

Wrigley was OUTSTANDINGly submissive, as usual. Ridiculous. 

Still being OUTSTANDING.

Then we dropped off the baby and headed to a celebratory dinner at Carino's for some OUTSTANDING bread...the pasta was good too, but let's be honest we all know who the real star is here. 

Call us crazy, I know, but we topped the night off with some OUTSTANDING dessert at USwirl. I had birthday cake {I got overwhelmed and made the wrong choice} while T stuck to what he knew and got Cookies and Cream.

And for the OUTSTANDING cherry on top? I guessed the weight of my yogurt {with a little help from Mr. OUTSTANDING} and got it fo free! And if that isn't OUTSTANDING, I don't know what is! Three cheers for Weigh in Wednesdays at USwirl and OUTSTANDING Graduate Student Instructors! I love you both.
