Weekend Recap

For the 4th we always go to a random spot in the middle of nowhere that has awesome fireworks. Lots of people come out, bring lots of food etc. We actually didn’t stay for the fireworks as we had to get up really early the next day.

I made my favorite Red, White & Blue Salad with help from Josiah. I was not feeling well and he helped me out and made the middle layer (my favorite!). My mom always made this on Memorial Day & Fourth of July.

On Sunday we went out to Lake Austin and went wake boarding. Josiah has done a lot of wake boarding and so he was doing jumps etc. I have only tried one other time and couldn’t get up. After I ate it twice I was done.

But I gave myself a pep talk and told myself I was going to get up. I listened to the suggestions and I got up! On my first try! I then got up two more times after I had fallen and I never had any fails trying to get up. I was pretty excited

And a boat selfie. It was a beautiful day. Not too hot and really nice to be on the lake. We don’t get too many of those days in South Texas!

Weekend Recap [Just a little late]

A little more picture heavy than I normally do. Sorry about that! But I had a great weekend with my mom & sister in town. They flew in so I could find a dress!

Texas has beautiful sunrises and sunsets. And this was as I drove to get them at the airport.

We got lunch at Ms. P’s in Austin. Sadly, we missed Jimmy Kimmel by not even a minute. He was getting in his suv as we were getting out of ours. Not cool. I tweeted him to come back, but he didn’t. Sad!

The chicken was amazing though. The Truffle Mac & Cheese was missing some bread crumbs, so that was sad but the chicken and the cole slaw… delicious!

I found a dress! I went found one at the third store we went to. The best part was it was a sample and so I have it and don’t have to pay rush fees to get it in time for the wedding. There is quite a bit of altering that has to take place, but I cannot wait to see it when it is all done!

I found this new dress this weekend too. I had to go ahead and wear it. I was also to wear my jean jacket that my dad gave me for Christmas and I have no idea why I am so in love with jean jackets.

We barely took ANY photos this weekend! I don’t know why that happens but we took a selfie when I dropped them off at the airport. I was so thankful they came to help me find a dress!

Weekend Recap [a little late]

This weekend we went to Austin and Saturday. Austin is such a beautiful city. I absolutely love how everyone spends so much time outdoors. There are so many beautiful trails and things to do.

The day was absolutely beautiful. We parked and walked for a while and met up with Josiah’s brother, his girlfriend and their old youth pastor and his wife. They live in Austin and had stayed at their house Friday night.

I may be partial but I think we take pretty good photos. Then that night we went to the Festival of Lights. It isn’t huge but it is a nice holiday display.

Trying to get photos to come out at the Festival of Lights is pretty difficult! Excuse the random lights in his face.

And of course you have to take your photo in this one! Who could pass this up?

Then my pano of church. I love watching him sing. Everyone else does pretty well too! We have some Christmas carols in the mix now and next week all of the Christmas decorations will be up. If only the Christmas season could go just a little bit slower!

There is my weekend recap. It is a little late but better late than never, right? Our weekends are always jam packed but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am not sure what we will be doing this weekend but I know the one after that includes a plane flight to Tennessee for Christmas! Cannot believe it is almost Christmas! I hope you are having a fabulous December so far and enjoying the season!
