Austin Adventures

Happy July!  Wait July? Seriously!!? How can we be half way through our year already? Times be flying ayyeeee. 

This past weekend was quiteeee the adventure I'll say. Complete with a long car ride to and from (thanks to you, traffic!), a rainy zip lining attempt, an amazing steak dinner, a grand ol time in downtown Austin with friends, and epic FaceTime chat with the groom to be, and a mountain of breakfast brunch food that I'm still thinking of. 

Can't wait for round 2 in August! I was most excited for our hiking adventure and zip line tour that we had set up, and in true Texas fashion when we showed up it was hot, sunny, and a good day to get your sweat on: 


And not 30 minutes into the first lil bunny beginner slope was a downpour of rain and a cancellation due to lightening. Which then meant a soaking wet hike back to camp, then another soaking wet boat ride back across the little cove on Lake Travis, and a sopping wet van ride back to home base. What's even greater was our bride to be was the last in line took on the line, and sadly didn't even get to go! :( But alas, rain or shine I still had fun, and it so reminded me of summer camp and can't wait to try this whole thing again in August! Out on a lake, a hiking adventure, and zipping over the lake is right up my alley!  


Later that night, we enjoyed an amazing dinner (highlight was the jalapeño Mac n cheese!) at Roaring Fork, and then a lovely bar hoping experience via Rainey Street. Our bachelorette had a great time and was still able to get up the next morning and provide a lovely Parks and Rec themed waffle brunch (also included pancakes, eggs, muffins, fruit, sausage, AND bacon). Nom. Props to her and my full belly thanks you! 

Yayy for bad lighting!

Yayy for running into an old friend!

Yayy for blurry pics!

Yayy for grown up puppies!


Cheers till next time, Austin! I'll be seeing you shortly me thinks ;)

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his ...

Happy 2015!

Cheers to the New Years! Hope it was lovely and celebratory and filled with lots of hopes and motivations for this upcoming 2015. I know this year is going to be the best one YET! We spent our New Years at a friends house, who had a great set up (including a DIY photo booth) and festive decorations! Plus a champagne-tasting contest, so we got to try a lot of different kinds of bubbly!  The best is yet to come! And it's so true. Each chapter that we embark on as a human being brings a new day and a new goal and new "best" days. When I was in high school, it was all about graduation it being the "best day," then we got to my 21st birthday, then my college graduation, then one of many relationship's anniversary, then getting my first big girl job and then turning 25, then to being proposed to, and now my next "best day" will be April 11, 2015. And from there on it keeps on and on. Isn't that exciting?  Each day I'm workin...

Post T-Day

Oh my goodness. I hope everyone had a fabulous fun, wobble till ya gobbled, love filled Turkey Day! I've been sick all week long (coughing, congestion, headaches, the works), but still was able to put that aside to enjoy the most beautiful clear blue, sun-filled sky with my family. My sister is in town so we were complete. My dad was up early getting the turkey in, and the meal was yummy in my tummy as usual. And Robert delayed his trip to the deer lease so he could eat with us, so I am especially grateful, thankful, and lucky for him :) AND my whole family. We are the only ones out here in Texas so I hate to stray from Tradition. OH and my "Sex in a Pan" Dessert was nomnomnomnom (good). I'll have to post the recipe later on. It was also very simple and customizable, and I remembered to take pictures this time! You can see the beginning of my food baby. Otherwise that sweater dress was not the most flattering thing to wear!   Robert, Me, Mallory, and her ...
