Discover Austin.

This weekend I enjoyed a trip to Austin, TX for a hair show with Kate and Laura. This was my first time in the capital city, and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed shopping at the local boutiques and vintage shops... maybe a little too much. We also enjoyed stuffing ourselves at every meal. One of our favorite stops was a cupcake truck on South Congress called "Hey Cupcake".


In the midst of all the shopping and eating, we did manage to make a little time for work. We enjoyed several classes at the Redken and Pureology stage. I feel rejuvenated and ready to play with some hair tomorrow.










10 years from now when someone asks me where I was when I heard Osama Bin Laden was dead, I'll remember hearing the news in a hotel room in Austin, TX with Kate and Laura.

Weekend? What weekend?


Gary and I have been very busy the past few weeks. I have had to work on location weddings 3 weekends in a row. Weddings are fun, but it's a lot of work loading and unloading all of your stuff. We have enjoyed sitting on our back porch, eating dinner, and having a glass of wine a few times this week. I even got inspired at a pampered chef party last Sunday night to make a homemade pizza this week! It turned out wonderful!

We did get to go to the lake for the day last Saturday. My parents rented a condo for the summer on Lake Hamilton, so we are looking forward to heading out there several more times before the end of summer. I decided since I have been working weddings on Sundays, to just close up shop. It was so nice to be out on the water. However, I did come home looking like a lobster. SPF 50 is in order for our next trip!




Last night I threw my friend, Lyndsey, a bachelorette party at our house. We were picked up by a limo, taken to dinner at Lulav (downtown), and taken back home in the limo. The food was amazing, but I paid for all the mussels and sea scallops when I got home... When we got back, we had dessert, played some games, Lyndsey opened her gifts and we watched "Just Married". 3 of the girls spent the night, so Gary got booted out to the couch. It was a great time, good to see some friends for out of town and celebrate Lyndsey and Bert's upcoming marriage.

Gary got up early this morning at started packing to head to Austin, TX for a week. Jenkins Enterprises got licensed to sell University of Texas, Longhorns items, so he is going to 3 major cities in Texas on 3 separate weeks this summer to get things going. As for me, I think the bed and a good book sound really good for today.
