Wildcat Preview Weekend.

I'm sure you all are aware of my current school situation since I have ranted endlessly about it. This past weekend my family and I road tripped up to Abilene, TX for ACU's Wildcat Preview weekend. 


We left bright and early Saturday morning at 5:00 am. Okay that's a lie, we planned to leave at 5:00 but we actually didn't leave till 5:45 am on account that my mom takes forever to leave the house.
I absolutely love driving in the morning it's so calm and peaceful.
 It's was a breathtaking view as we watched the sunrise in the middle of the Texas Hill Country.
As 8:00 am rolled around we were all extremely happy with ourselves considering we were all in a good mood despite the lack of sleep and small space we were sharing and stopped for breakfast.

Once back on the road it wasn't long before something unexpected happened!
My dad somehow managed to get pulled over 3/4 ths of the way for "swerving" as the officer put it. In reality my dad kept moving to the shoulder because the cop appeared like he wanted to pass us up and my dad was simply making room for him to do so. Luckily, the officer let us off with a warning. However, the mix  up caused endless amounts of teasing for the the rest of the trip.
ACU was a beautiful campus. It was exactly like HU but on steroids, I got a little uni homesick.
But quickly got over it when I toured the Recreation center and the Nutrition Department. Oh my word, it was so beautiful. Equipped with a lower level gym, pool, and indoor track it took all my will power to not sneak away from the group and work out.



Honestly,  I never realized how hard it is to eat clean while on the road,  it was a struggle!
I will be the first to admit that I did not eat clean all weekend nor did I work out.
Unless all the walking during the campus tour counts as my cardio?
Any who, despite the familiar tastes of all my favorite fast food joints I was never able to finish full meal because I was no longer used to the food and ended up with several stomaches from the grease.


On our way back we somehow took a wrong turn and ended up on a back road route, it was full of beautiful little towns.
Overall, I had a wonderful weekend and have a new found love for the Hill country.
