Country Mouse and City Mouse

I am now back to school after one glorious Spring Break. The first part of my break was spent in the Big Apple with my sister and best friend from KU, Jess. Adam was too sweet to encourage me to go on the girls trip. It was such a blast, but way too short. We walked the city, had some great cocktails, did some shopping, and had some wonderful food. And one night, Jessica's roommate even hosted a dinner party. It was so elegant and I was able to meet all sorts of fun people! This dinner party came to such a fun close when her neighbor came over and sang/played some old tunes for us. It was awesome. I can't wait to go back! I fall in love with New York each and everytime I visit. The city is so huge and diverse that I have a completely different experience each time. Love you Jess! Thanks for being the best hostess! (I just wish I took more pictures!!)

My sweet hubby picked me up from the airport and we began the second half of Spring Break with a Tex-Mex date;) Such a wonderful welcome back to Texas! The rest of my break was spent spring cleaning, organizing, and lunching or shopping with my mama. It was the perfect week off. We even finished the break by hosting a neighborhood crawfish boil at our house. It was so fun and so great to get to know all the neighbors even better. Life is good!

Deep in the Heart of Texas

Labor Day weekend was spent with our family in the beautiful town of Gruene, Texas. It was honestly the best weekend ever! Aren't they all? Adam and I along with my parents met my Aunt Marcia, Uncle Drew and my cousin Kellie in Gruene. Marcia and Drew came all the way from Atlanta and Kellie is currently in law school in San Antonio. A blast may be an understatement. We really had a classic "Texas" weekend! We ate good Mexican, danced at Gruene Hall, went "antiquing," saw a wonderful Kevin Fowler Texas Country concert at River Road Ice House, floated the Comal, and ate at the famous Gristmill! It couldn't have been better. But most of all, we had a wonderful time with our loved ones. As you can see we were honestly in laughs ALL weekend:) I love my family!

Friday night and so happy to be together!

And did I mention our bed and breakfast!? We stayed three nights at a wonderful B&B right next to Gruene Hall. It was beautiful and honestly the perfect location. Check out the Gruene Mansion Inn

Canyon Lake

We had such a fun time this past weekend! A bunch of us headed to Garman's lakehouse for two days. Thank you Garman for opening up your family's lakehouse to us. You and Hayley were wonderful hosts! It was such a blast. We hung out in Gruene and in the Comal River (even though it was "closed"). I absolutely love our friends!
