My Kinda Town

So since I have been crazy busy here is what I have been up to, bullet style!

* ACL was amazing, we had all access passes which I need to update with pictures. Getting to be on stage with some amazing bands have been a true highlight of my life

* UT is #1, our colorado trip to the UT game was perfect and it was the best place to visit. OU vs TX weekend was awesome, winning was perfection! Mizzou weekend was so much fun, complete with shot blocks and another win!

* I did miss the UT vs OSU game to go to Edgefest with my bestie Ana. We really had a blast getting to hang out and spend time rocking out together!

* Work has been crazy. I work 8/9/10 hour days and I am constantly running around. It is a blessing, but it is one of the most challenging things.

* Matthew and I have been married for 6 months, we are shocked that it has already been 6 months. I can't wait for the next 6 months, he is a perfect husband. I truly thank god every single day for him.

* Tomorrow is halloween, which is an awesome holiday! My grandparents are coming up saturday. We have our big family pictures on Sunday! I can't wait till we get to see Tyler again, he photographed our wedding!

* On Monday I leave for chicago with my bosses! I have never been to chicago, much less a Ritz carlton! I can't wait to get to see what the trip brings. I will try to blog from a coffee shop or from my extravagant room! I can't wait!!!!!!!!

Edit - We ended up staying at the Four Seasons, not the Ritz

Congratulations!

I have officially been accepted to my graduate program!  I am so happy that I have been accepted!!!  I get to start a masters program in Early Education along with receiving a certificate. 

I can't express how happy I am to get to start school again!  What great news to get after a very very long day.

Back from Colorado!

Well the flight was delayed last night, so what does that mean???  

We didn't make it back to austin until midnight.  Of course it is now monday and I had to wake up for work.  I went to sleep a little after 1:30 and then got up at 6.  But it is all worth it!  I had the best weekend!  

Matthew planned the best vacation for us!  I will post details and pictures so soon.  I am so sleepy and needed my dog charlie to eat, so I had to sit downstairs after my shower so he would eat... an that means an early morning blog post!  Yes I know, it probably doesn't make since but come on a going on only a few hours of sleep... and my time is all screwy.  

I have the most paranoid and crazy sweet dog, that in order to eat sometimes he needs me to be sitting in the same room with him!  

So cheers to an amazing weekend, long flights, little sleep and to another work week!!!!

Well this past weekend was ACL!!!  It was amazing and the most perfect weekend.  I can't wait to start posting pictures!  I have been so busy with work, that I have really not had too much time to blog.  Plus we leave early early Friday morning for colorado!!!  We are going to the UT football game.  I can't wait, I have never been to colorado... oh and did I mention I am not a cold person.  So wish me good luck staying warm and not freezing to death.

I do have to say, my hubby booked the entire trip and made all the plans.  He booked us a house in the mountains and I can't wait to see it!  The weekend will be great. 

ACL all access weekend post will be coming soon!!!

Trying to start packing, so here is what game day will look like!!!

UT vs Rice

So UT game number 2!  Of course we beat Rice, so here are some of the pictures from the mojito filled day.

Scott making my favorite scott specialty... mojitos!

my cute hubby being the videographer

My obsession...

I want to and I need to go shopping!  I had such a busy, long, fun weekend... now I get to do some imaginary shopping.  If I could walk out the door and go shopping I would buy these things...

A silent prayer for you

So it is Sunday and time for my favorite postsecrets...

So sweet!  I do the same thing, like silently praying for an accident on the side of the road or for a homeless man and every intersection here in Austin.

Now this is an example of being able to relate to other peoples secrets!  Sometimes when you read postsecrets... you say omg I can't believe that, or oh how terrible, and then sometimes that is exactly how I feel.  You can get an arrange of emotions every sunday morning!

One word is all you need sometimes

First big step

So we finally found our new living room furniture! 

We have a lot of rearranging and cleaning... but by the end of the week, we should have a brand new living room. I can't wait to see all the furniture in our living room. Right now everything is stuff we have collected through college. It needs to be updated and cleaned soooooo bad.

Like we have two couches now, one I got from salvation army in college and it was like $75 with a coffee table and side tables! What a deal ;) But man it has been through some good times.  Even though I can't wait for our new matching furniture, this is my last week with my special, sentimental college furniture.

So this week is going to be a good, big week! My job is about to change drastically this week, I can't wait!!! Not only will my job become even better, I get to start changing my house. 

Cheers to a new week!

Sundays I religiously read PostSecrets!

One of my idols and someone I have to meet is Frank Warren, the creator of PostSecrets.  If you don't read it, you must... it can change your life.

So here is my fav secret postcard from this Sunday...

I wonder who wrote this post, it is so sweet!

Devastating Ike

So as some may not know, I was born in Houston and grew up in Dallas.  I ended up going to high school in Houston and a lot of my family lives there.  

My mammy drove up here the other day from Houston to get away from Hurricane Ike, but my pops had to stay.  My pops is a police officer and a very brave and dedicated man.  They are dedicating their lives to sleeping at the police for 3 days to help people.  I can't help but sit and worry about my pops out their in the storm fighting and doing whatever he can to help.

My pops has always been a man that will do anything for anyone and works harder than anyone I have ever met.  So please pray for my family in Houston and pray for all others who are being affected by the storm.

We can make a movie

So last night was Thursday, we went to the Free Sol and Common concert at Stubb's!  It was an awesome concert.  We didn't care that much about Free Sol at first and then they performed, if you haven't seen them... they are great!  

After them... Common!  Common was so great, we loved the way he involves everyone.  Here was a few pics from the night...

Freesol from vip




Time for Common

Common giving VIP love!!!


oh it was so hot

It was an amazing concert, but it was one of the longest days I had!  I got to find out more info about school and then it was the hardest days I had at work.  It's hard work sometimes, but I am blessed to have this job.  I do want to say, thursday was the 9/11 anniversary and I just wanted to say god bless to everyone!

a night in life of twenty something women

I got to go to Dallas this past weekend to spend time with my two best friends.  Ana just bought a new house and Lindsey's husband is coming home from Iraq next week!  So we had a lot to celebrate.

We really didn't take that many pictures, oh except for Saturday night!  We went to Pete's Piano bar so early and this is what happened....  Girls just having some innocent fun!

Honoring men and women affiliated with the military... My sweet lindz
