Viva La Saturday


That's the Mills family, circa 1990. Wow, how good do we look?

This past weekend, we celebrated my grandparents' 40th wedding anniversary. We had it at the Roosevelt Ballroom in Waco. It was beautiful, and my mom and cousins did an amazing job setting everything up.

I have been on the hunt lately for some boots!! I don't mean cowboy boots, I have way too many pairs of those, but I want some black flat boots. Like these:

I have had some serious issues finding some since my feet are, well, HUGE. I don't like to buy anything online, because you have to WAIT for it to come in the mail, but I may just have to forgo the instant satisfaction and buy them online.

I had lunch with my old roomie Lauren today! I tried shopping for boots at the galleria, but no luck. We did a little bit of shopping (we each found something at SEPHORA!!), and we had lunch at Corner Bakery. Um, YUMMMMY Chicken Salad there, lots of fruit in it. It was amazing spending time with her after so long. I love love love that girl, and I am so happy we're much closer now. I seriously needed some girl time with her.

Now, Mark and I are planning to go look at a couple houses, and possibly go to the rodeo tonight. So many options available to us... Viva la Saturday!

Long Time, No Blog

Wow, I cannot believe I am so bad at blogging. I have seriously skipped out on the updates lately.

Since I last updated, so much has happened, but the most exciting is celebrating our FIRST anniversary together. We had a great time. On Friday night, we just stayed in Fort Worth, went out to dinner, and chilled at home. (I have a horrible memory, so I cannot remember where we ate... oops).

On Saturday morning, I got up and went shopping for a couple things while Mark slept in. Then we had lunch at home and headed to Dallas. We went to the Galleria to do a little shopping, then checked into the Magnolia Hotel downtown.

We had dinner at Coal Vines, our favorite pizza place in Uptown then went to the Mavs game. The Mavs game was no fun (since they lost and they played at the same time as the Cowboys), but it was fun going out.

We went back to the hotel and watched the remainder of the Cowboys game. The Magnolia has complimentary Cookies & Milk every night, which is such a fun amenity. On Sunday, we headed home and ate our year old cake from our wedding day.

Our anniversary was special, and I had a lot of fun. It was very "us".
