wedding weekend!

This past weekend, Brett and I went to Austin for his sister Jessica's wedding! This was SO much fun for several different reasons which I will now share with you all:

• This was the first wedding Brett and I have been to since our own. Because a lot of what was said at our wedding was a blur, it was really fun to actually be able to listen to the message given and the marriage vows. Made me feel all lovey dovey toward Brett :)
• This was the also the first time for me to see all of Brett's family since we've been married. Literally, the WHOLE family (aunts, cousins, grandmas, on ALL sides). On Friday night we went out to eat to Chuys with the immediate fam (minus Jules). Saturday we had a bridal luncheon for Jessica at Hula Hut on the lake and that night we had the rehearsal dinner. Sunday morning was an early one. We arrived at the wedding venue at 8am to begin setting up the place and getting everything ready for the 11am wedding. Needless to say, I really felt a part of the family (being in all the family pictures helped)! I spent LOTS of time without Brett by my side, which was really good because I was able to connect a lot with my new fam! Here are a few pictures of the wedding!

  

• I found my dream house. Well, at least my dream living room/kitchen/dining room. We were blessed to stay with a friend of the Marcos' and they have an AMAZING house. Pictures? DUH.

• The weather was perfect, there were trees, and there were hills. All of which make for an awesome combination of nature (unlike what we see in Lubbock).
• Got to spend about 14 hours with Brett in the car. We jammed to some old DC talk cd's, had an EXTREMELY lengthy conversation about what we could be for Halloween (we still don't know, not like I would tell you if we did), slept, laughed, and surprisingly didn't get lost ONCE!

 

Overall, it was just an amazing weekend! I am excited about our next trip on Friday to Houston. We will be visiting my family this time since we have a long weekend. Looking forward to 18 more hours of car time with Brett and seeing my sweet niece!
