It's officially Fall in Texas and aside from the BRUTALLY hot UT/UTEP game last Saturday- we are loving the cooler weather and can't wait for more! The past two weeks of football have been so much fun seeing long lost friends and cheering on our winning team! With Milton & Sharon in town, we all decided to celebrate our latest win with a trip to our favorite B.Y.O.B BBQ joint, The Salt Lick. (as if we needed a reason to go!) Driftwood is only a few miles from Dripping Springs, so we were also able to take them by the wedding venue and start visualizing our special day. FUN!!!
July 3rd, 2010 is starting to really take shape. Trae and I look forward to celebrating our special day in our own unique way and we're having a lot of fun planning it! In the past 6 days alone, we've tasted cake, rehearsal dinner food and our wedding day food... and enjoyed every moment of it!! I think Trae was disappointed that I booked the first wedding cake baker we tasted, but this girls got a dress to fit into and can't afford to "taste" anymore!!!
Another thing accomplished... our wedding party! We are so excited to be blessed with so many great friends that are able to be part of our special day, no matter the mileage between us.
