So i have made an executive decision. Due to the recent changes in photo uploading and the larger viewing of facebook, i have decided to discontinue the Project 365 from the blog and instead use the blog as it was more intended.....to blog about fun outing, random thoughts, quotes i like, shout outs, etc. etc. therefore, I think its appropriate to start out with a fun weekend outing:
Brent and I just recently celebrated our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. Yes, December 20, 2008 Brent and I tied the knot and this year has FLOWN by. It has been an amazing year and i cannot wait to see what else the future has in store for us.
anyway, back to the story of the anniversary. Because it is so close to Christmas it makes it rather difficult to "get away" for the weekend near the anniversary due to lack of time, money, etc. So, we elected to take a trip for our anniversary at a later date (which as of the moment will be snowboarding in Washington) and just spend the weekend in one of our favorite Texas cities with some of our favorite people... my sister Kristen and Brother-in-Law Justin.
lets stick with pics now as i take you through the day..........
1. we made a nice stop at the World Famous Round Rock donuts. I honestly didn't know this place existed until i was watching Man vs Food a few months back but it looked so tempting we had to check it out. and let me assure you it did NOT disappoint :)
2. Next we scuttled across town to one of our fav. Austin places Trudy's...the reason we like Trudys so much is 1. the food is tasty, 2. they serve breakfast, mexican, and american food so everyones happy 3. its a nice setting.
3. We stopped in at The Parkers to hang out with Kristen and Tigger for a little while before deciding our next move. Sadly Justin was called out to work early Sat. morning so he wasnt able to join us just yet. After chatting for a bit we landed on a tour of the Capital. I've lived in Texas my entire life, visited Austin many many time and yet i'd never been.
4. After playing in and outside the capital we headed down the street towards campus. ironically, we ended up taking a tour of Kristen and Justins engagment session settings.
5. We caught up with Justin and headed out to Rounders Pizza for dinner. Pizza was great but Parker did have a little incident with the ENORMOUS water jugs they called glasses
6. another local eatery i have discovered i like is Amy's Ice Cream. I actually discovered it in the airport but nonetheless the Mexican Vanilla is delish.
7. After stuffing our face over and over for the day we decided to conclude with a Festive Christmas Firework show at the Domain. We are all unsure why they were having Fireworks really but it was an event and it was exciting.
On Sunday our actual anniversary, we just hung around the house, watched our wedding video, looked at pictures, ate what was suprisingly tasty year old wedding cake, and just enjoyed the day. it was a great weekend all around!
