Weekend Recap

First, it was a whopping 38 degrees this morning walking Mr. B... tights and boots are back (not for long obviously since tomorrow it will be back to 80 degrees). And they wonder WHY everyone gets sick in Dallas this time of year...

As far as this weekend. It. Was. Fun. and relaxing all into one. Obviously I still wish the weekend was longer and I am envious of those who have today's holiday off but I am at work like a big girl getting everything done.

Friday was Miss Layla, aka Monkey's birthday. She is practically my niece and I absolutely adore her. She turned the BIG GIRL 2!  

On Saturday, I ran a whole bunch of errands, decorated for Halloween and went shopping with a girlfriend for a bit. I picked up a great new pair of boots that I LIVED in all weekend (pictured above) as well as an amazing candle from Nordstrom. Later that day I had a few friends over and then a whole group of us went out for dinner and then drinks. It was a fun Saturday night filled with old friends and new friends and REALLY cold weather.... I am seeing a pattern here.


Sunday went by quickly with more errands and then gala meetings all afternoon. Dinner consisted of Mambos and MiCo and amazing TexMex. Oh and a YANKEES win! Way to start the ALDS.
Looking forward to the start of another busy but exciting week. This afternoon I am headed to see Big Tex at the State Fair and I am overly excited for lots of fair food even though I don't eat the fried stuff...
Have a great week y'all! xo

Moving Day

Today is Moving Day!
We are moving... unexpectedly but I am excited for a new adventure (on another floor and down the hall a bit) and space! Mr. B is on a little few day hiatus after returning from the ranch and will come home to a new home tomorrow night. For now he is at the Disney World for Dogs and I am sure he is loving every second of it. I will post more pictures when I am all settled... but here is to a few days of my own hiatus from work and the world while I set up shop somewhere new. Don't worry, I will be taking a break for FNO as well tomorrow night and cannot wait to celebrate a good friend/older sister's upcoming birthday this week as well. It is a busy time and I get to have my parents in town for a few days as well :) #happygirl

Enjoy your week blog world! xo

Labor Day 2k12

After 15+ hours of driving due to traffic, etc. we are back in the Big D after a great weekend at the ranch filled with laughter, sleep, wine, amazing food and some great views. It was great to get away and just hangout outside of Dallas for a few days... don't necessarily want to be back but I have a lot going on this week to keep me running on adrenaline until the weekend. Hey, at least it's Tuesday-- right?

sick of looking at these views!

Officially "ending" the summer out in Boerne this weekend. 

Can't wait for some R&R with Celeste and Michael and to have Britney come out there this weekend for the first time! Hoping for some great sunsets like this one :) 

Oh and to see this cutie as well--

What are you all doing to celebrate the holiday weekend? xoxo

Holly & Ben - Part II

ThePhotoStand.com -- If you are in Dallas and haven't heard of it-- LOOK IT UP! I don't know how many events I have done now that we have used them but they were at this wedding and it is always a HUGE hit :) We took so many towards the end of the night but here are my favorites... yes, so many to choose from.
