A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

Recent random.....

Making me crave pancakes...(smooth, a little sweet, big maple scent -- fantastic on the rocks)


My current afternoon craving (Thai iced tea via this recipe -- we've been drinking it with Almond Breeze brand almond milk mixed with So Delicious brand coconut creamer -- super fab)


An evening out at a rock show (Satellites & Sirens)




Hahahahaha OMG yes (spotted on a local mini-van)


Double birthdays


Cuddled up with my bestie at The Brass Tap -- pretty much can't even handle how gorgeous she is!

Back to school (!!!!!!)

Thank you everyone for the congratulations!!  Being married to my best friend is pretty much the most amazing thing ever.  :-)

My house is quiet.  Not just peaceful, but full-on QUIET.  School started on Monday, and although we had a few tears at send-off, everyone has adjusted very quickly, and we're all enjoying our more structured days.



(Each of their "back to school" outfits are pretty much killing me -- what they're wearing is after I screened through several options.  And the socks....seriously?  OH MY.)



Also....well, after an entire summer, everyone's tolerance for each other had grown a bit...thin.  So had my patience.  It was hard to kiss them all goodbye that first day, but I think all 5 of us felt some measure of relief at the same time.  Sad, relieved, peaceful.  Hooray for school!!

12 years and counting

On July 28th, Greg and I celebrated our 12th year wedding anniversary.  Wow.  I know.  I was 21 years old, and had no idea what I wanted...but I've been incredibly thankful to discover that being married to Greg was the best idea ever, and I'm so thankful that he's the guy I get to spend the rest of my life with.

Enough with all that mush.

Our friends took our children for the night for a giant sleepover party, so we went into Austin and hung out on South Congress; window-shopped, appetizers at Pearla, dinner at Hop Doddy burger bar (best. burgers. ever.).  Overall a pretty perfect evening....and with my very favorite person.  SCORE!!
















XOXO!
