Week 14

April 3, 2011 - Since the Plain White T's concert wasn't until tonight, Jack and I spent the day down in San Antonio and Wimberly. We had the best time sitting along the Riverwalk, drinking margaritas and eating fresh guacamole, then eating ice cream at the little ice cream place we like down there. The rest of the day was spent in Wimberly, tasting wine and shopping at the quirky little shops, then driving back to Austin for the concert tonight. It was such a fun, relaxing day!! And the concert? That was amazing too! All in all a pretty good birthday present for both of us!

April 4, 2011 - Since this photo was taken after midnight, I'm counting this as our picture of the day! After the concert, we got to meet Parachute and the Plain White T's and get pictures with them! The Parachute guys were so nice! After we left, we headed to Wendy's and got some crappy drive-thru food, ate it in the hotel room, and basically passed out! It was quite a day. The next day we drove home after visiting with Jack's college friend Susan, and Jack was back at work by the time classes started. It was a quick but very, very fun weekend.

April 5, 2011 - Aaaannddd we're back to reality. Today when I was doing the dishes, the sink started flooding so I plunged it, hoping to un-clog the drain. The next thing I knew, there was water pouring out of my cabinet from the garbage disposal that I had completely blown out. Note to self: do not put potato peels down the disposal or plunge your kitchen sink with great force. There's a $350 mistake.

April 6, 2011 - These two crack me up every morning! I'm usually the first one up, which gives Jack and Maggie plenty of cuddle time. It makes me kind of jealous!

April 7, 2011 - Did I make a from-scratch dark chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream tonight? Why yes, yes I did.

April 8, 2011 - Tonight was the BikeMS Club 100 (top 100 fundraisers) party at the Rough Rider's game. There were free food and drinks and lots of goodies too! It pays to raise a lot of money for MS. Jack and I had a great time watching the game (and arguing about how many innings are in baseball - fyi, it's not ten, even if the scoreboard has ten innings listed) and watching fireworks after. It was really fun!

April 9, 2011 - This is our absolute new favorite place for dessert - or in this case, appetizers. There was a long wait at Grimaldi's, where we were having dinner, so we headed over to Bonnie Ruth's and had the most delightful blueberry cupcake ever before dinner. Being a grown-up is AWESOME.
