once upon a time

when chris and i were first married, we decided to take a european vacation for our tenth wedding anniversary.

july 2014 seemed like a million years away.

let's all have a good long laugh, shall we?  bahahahahahahaha!!!!!

i feel better now.  years later we demoted those european dreams to mexican ones, and a few months ago we demoted our mexican dreams to austin ones, and then more recently our austin ones to a nice dinner out in dallas. 

i'll admit, i was a little disappointed that we couldn't pull off something big (and extra special) for such a milestone anniversary.  i pouted for a good bit before my husband told me to get a damn grip (that's a sign of a good spouse).  

on the couch after the kids bedtime the other night, chris and i had an idea (good ideas are often cooked on that couch).  using some hotel points, we booked an anniversary weekend away to take the kids here:

 {krause springs}

 and here:

{hamilton pool}

three hour road trip, summer heat, certainly some central texas barbeque, and two of the three best watering holes in texas.  it ain't europe, but it's the texas hill country, and that's not half bad at all.

happy ten years to you, my love.

and happy anniversary to these kids who are the product of our ten years together.

let's go swimming!

love,
