WICKED

It had been 4 years since Jordan and I were in New York watching this unbelievable broadway play and wanted to see it again ever since. So when Cassie and I heard that Wicked was coming to Austin we jumped at the chance to go. Again no dissapointment, I love everything about this play; the humor, the set, the costumes, the songs, the story... I get giddy thinking about it! We only wished we were closer, dang it! But it was still fabulous. We went with Cassie and Jordan to Chuy's beforehand, always a treat, and met up with the rest of these good looking people. Such a fun night spent with great friends and even better my husband. You've got to go if you get the chance!!!

(More pics to come of us and the cast members! Yes we were little groupies and waited outside until they came out, don't hate!)

Go Away Heat

I can't take it anymore!!! We are on our 65th day straight of being over 100 degrees! This hasn't happened since 1925! I swear the minute you step outside instant back sweat (yes, that is disgusting but total truth!)! Everything is dead and ugly around us because there hasn't been a need for sprinklers since we USUALLY get rain, it's like an instant sunburn, wearing 2 layers doesn't help, I am done after 2 stores because I am lugging around a 17 pounder in the heat.... I could go on and on. People pray for rain or just me that I will have some patience! Bottom line... I am ready for fall.

To Cute for Words

I could seriously live here...

About a week ago we returned home from an awesome vacation that was so memorable. To start it off Jordan and I flew down to Cali and spent some time with his family. We were lucky enough to be there to see 2 out of 3 of his brothers and their families, one of which we rarely get to see so it was a blast being able to hang out with them, although we did miss Brother number 3 and his family. After those couple of days we met up with my family for a week here (see pic above)!! Isn't it gorgeous?! We were in Corona del Mar and literally standing where the picture was taken was a parking lot and then right behind that is the beach! My mom did a fantastic job in finding this place! It was such a relaxing/chill vacation which was perfect. Everyday we would head out to the beach, again right across the way, after sleeping in and then stayed until about 5 pm, walk the 2 mins. back to the house, Mom would cook us some delicious meals that we would eat on the balcony overlooking the beach, play some games, do a puzzle, and watch movies... it was awesome. Some other things we did during the week:

• Went to Crystal Cove beach and Newport beach
• Rented beach cruisers and cruised the board walk, so fun!
• Ate at Ruby's on the Balboa pier on the water
• Went on a Segway tour, which was awesome!!
• Dad went fishing a bunch and only caught one fish, bummer
• Jordan got to go surfing every morning and Dad went with!
• Went to Pageant of the Masters in Laguna, amazing!
• Enjoyed the wonderful weather of So. Cal.

Seriously it was so fun. It was great spending so much time with my family. It was so fun having Britt there after not spending anytime with her for 18 months. It was so fun being able to be so close to the Walburger's and getting to spend time with them. I just want to go back, can you tell?! Fun, Fun, Fun vacation. Thankyou Mom and Dad for such a memorable time!

And here are all the pictures documenting it all!
