Glimpse of Texas!!

Hey ya’ll!!

Hope you’re doing amazing!!  Just got back from our fabulous trip to Texas for the wedding and going on a mini road-trip! I’ve been thrown back into reality and have a full schedule this week HOWEVER whenever I can, I’m going to get a few more pics up and details from our getaway!

This was my hubby and I’s first trip since I’ve started blogging! He is slowly getting used to me snapping pics of everything! He doesn’t quite understand why I can’t just enjoy the scenery and experiences (like I usually do – because often pictures of gorgeous things don’t do the situation justice), I keep telling him I am, but I want to share my passion with others also!!  He he…this is going to be a journey and process, I realize!!

Thanks again for all your fabulous posts about what I should capture by photo – it was a huge help and inspiration!

The first thing we did when we arrived in Texas was EAT!!  he he…I thought about posting a pretty picture from Texas as the opening photo of this post, but it wasn’t fitting!  My hubby and I LOVE Mexican Food (well…the proper description is probably Tex Mex!) – so we wanted to enjoy as much we could while we were south!  Mmm…fresh chips and salsa!!  AND yes – I did enjoy the feature Margarita – the Horny Toad!  This amazing meal was enjoyed at Pappasitos

We drove south in the rain – yes, there wasn’t a lot of sunshine, rainbows, and lollipops! However, we enjoyed the drive and our amazing visit to Fredricksburg, Texas in gorgeous Hill Country, east of Austin! Most of the stores had lovely signs that said NO pictures or drawings of what you see! Well…I was sneaky and captured a few pics by turning off my flash – yikes!

We saw beautiful countryside, enjoying the diverse geographic areas of Texas – from cacti to the plains! I managed to sweet talk my hubby into stopping a few times on the side of the road to take some pictures of the beautiful rock, cactus’ and my favorite – Bluebonnets - the official Texas flower!

THEN the whole reason for going back to Texas this trip – the WEDDING!!  I don’t know that I mentioned it was going to be in a barn and would be a bit Redneck!  It was SO much fun and perfect for the couple!  Here is a glimpse of my new sister-in-love! We are SO excited for the newlyweds!

More pictures and details in the Texas Wishes post from our Texas trip. Make someone smile today!

Living Room Decor

Hope you’re having an amazing day!! On the weekend, John and I had a work bee to clean, condition, and protect our leather furniture. It is really a task you have to work yourself up to and we find it most exciting to do together, while dancing around to music. We get around to doing it once a year, however I’m sure its recommended to do it more regularly! There is a narrow window of engaging my husband to do any task, before he is ready to do something new and interesting! I’m sure many of you can relate to this – with your partners, as I’m convinced that it is showcased in males more than females!

Cleaning Bee!

After we finished doing our maintenance job on our furniture, we re-arranged!! My husband is a very opinionated. He isn’t the type to just let something happen, he is very interested in having an active role in the decision making and loves the game ”I Win”! (Who doesn’t I try and remind him ;)

Our living room has been arranged the same way for over a year, since the day we moved in!! SO I vetoed his ruling and made the change! John still had to be part of the final say, so his change was to remove the cowhide from the floor! We’re both still adjusting and I have a sneaky suspicion that the next time I go away, that he will change again!

I would love to get YOUR opinion on the new arrangement!
