Going back to work after our Austin Anniversary Staycation was hard. And partly because we weren't going to be eating like this for the rest of the week:
Breakfast at Juan in a Million in Austin
Lunch at Young's BBQ in Lampasas
Pizza at 600 Degrees in Georgetown
Seafood at Deckhands in Austin
Not to mention, a fancy buffet lunch, picnic at Mt. Bonnell, dinner at home, and plenty of beer!
It was what a vacation should be - fun and relaxing. We even spent time listening to live music and meeting new people. And yes, he won most of the card games we played!
One of the highlights of the weekend was getting to go to a service at the church we were married in. I experienced a FLOOD of memories - even small details. We reminisced about it all day.
The front of the church is flanked by huge trees that were very small 35 years ago. Of course we recognized no one - both priests were long gone, as well as many of the regulars. - after all, its been 35 years The new normal for churches must be very strange, but we were warmly welcomed and they printed a sweet anniversary prayer for us in the program.
I bought a cute new dress and had Hubby take a new headshot for me. Just afterwards he gifted me with these:
Beautiful jade drop earrings!
I gave him a jade bracelet, just before we left to enjoy our picnic, and he was thrilled with it. Hubby likes bling.
We spent lots of time walking all that food off - at Mt. Bonnell, Zilker, downtown Austin...so going back to work on Tuesday I had sore calves!
You can tell Fall is here, even if it feels like late summer. The sunsets are more dramatic and come a little bit earlier. A minute later getting out of work and I would miss it! In fact, the timing of the sunset figured prominently in our wedding service. Its only fitting that we enjoy them so much now.
