Check out Hilary on Faces of Beauty today!
Well hello! Long time no blog, right? I have to say I had the best of intentions in blogging this weekend, but every time we go to Dallas it’s a whirlwind of travel, visiting, and trying to fit in our old favorite restaurants. Turns out blogging didn’t happen, and neither did taking photos – well, except at the wedding (coming soon) and on my iPhone!
Bunker and Keira were clearly depressed when we left. At least that's what I tell myself since they adore their Aunt Amy!
We listened to Kidd Kraddick in the Morning. LOVE.
Sigh. La Madeleine.
I need to recreate this. STAT.
So many things I want to buy. So little room in my luggage.
My first ever whoopie pie experience! Let's just say this will be recreated soon too 🙂
There were pedicures to be had...I wasn't feeling the black anymore.
Ah, much better. I love me some red toenails!
Church on Sunday morning...love seeing good friends! Especially when it's a surprise!
Please excuse the fact that I look bald and look at my gorgeous sister. I love you Salah!
And finally off to the airport we went. You have to love the Texas pride exuding from this store!
Smooches y'all!
So here’s the rundown: we left from Denver Thursday night at 8pm and landed in Dallas around 10:45pm, picked up a rental car, and spent the night at Nate’s dad’s house (circa 1am by the time we went to bed). Saturday morning we got up at 6:30am, drove to Frisco (a suburb of Dallas) where Nate played golf with the other members of the wedding party and I shopped til I dropped. I ran home to his dad’s house to change, then went BACK to Frisco for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Bedtime came around midnight again. Saturday morning we woke up, at breakfast with Nate’s dad, went to Barnes and Noble, then went to Frisco so Nate could start getting ready for the wedding. I went and got a mani-pedi with Nate’s mom, then got ready for the wedding. Wedding at 6, reception til 12, after-party til 3. We got up at 7am Sunday for church, went to lunch with my sister, Nate’s brother, and his mom and stepdad. After lunch we went back to his dad’s house to re-pack, and off to the airport we went! It was a blast and we got to see so many friends but I was pretty stoked about just getting home and going to bed. Not as young as I used to be 😉
How was YOUR weekend? And do you find it’s harder to act like a college kid when you’re – ahem – OUT of college? 🙂
Boo – wish I would have known you were in the area (I work in Frisco) we could have had a 5 minute blogger meet-up (although looks like your weekend was jammed pack). Glad you had a good trip!
I love the photos sister!!! I am so glad I got to see you this weekend!! I find it hard to be a college student in college….my first two years were crazy but especially this semester I have been forced to grow up :-/
LOVE whoopie pies–did you have the pumpkin? The chocolate one’s are amazing too! What a fun time this weekend!
Visiting home can be so much fun! We made whoopee pies last night, they are posted on my blog today. Oh so good!
I was just eyeing some whoppie pies in a magazine. That name embarrasses me for some reason, though…
I am SO happy you finally tried a whoopee pie!! See??? This is why I am completely head over heals obsessed with them.
Whew! all operating on minimal sleep but cute toenails 😉 Glad you guys had a good trip!
Your pics do plenty of justice. Looks like loads of fun!
I find I can party like college, just not recover as quick, lol.
I’m from Dallas too. Fun to see people’s pics when they visit. It was a happy time to be there with the Rangers win! And we love Le Madeleine. It’s based in Dallas.
I am dying to trie a whoopie pie! They look so good!
I can’t survive crazy weekends like that anymore either! Oh and whoopie pies might be the best.things.ever.!!!!!!!!
OMG, I totally know what you mean! The hubs and I are in bed BEFORE 12 on weekends sometimes…it’s sick lol. I seriously feel like I can’t party like I used to. Maybe not a bad thing but growing up makes me sad…
Oh my goodness I feel the same way about my weekend! I had a mini college homecoming at my place and we partied it up way too much. I think I’ll need the rest of the week to recover! The pics of you are adorable! You don’t look bald you nut. It’s a cute headband.
wow that fruit tart looks SO good! If you recreate if you MUST post the recipe!!! 🙂
yea for Dallas. Thats where I am from. I love kiss FM, haha! Glad you had a great trip. 🙂
What a fun-filled, whirlwind of a weekend! I’m sure you are excited to be back home though with cooler temperatures. 🙂
We spent pretty much the entire weekend doing things for the new apartment…and a little outdoor exercise to keep me sane.
We had such a busy weekend too! Its so exhausting!
Love your pedicure! I need on so badly!
Wow! That is some church….huge! What a fun weekend:)
I find it hard to act like a college kid and I’m IN college! lol- I’m all about getting to bed earlier and waking up earlier… not exactly the popular routine around here 😉
Looks like a great trip! I had a good weekend but that’s probably only because my sweet husband finally returned home after a week away. Thank goodness – I was missing him!
Hooray for Ikea and whoopie pies!
If I were you, I would be a dead man walking today. I hope you get some rest! A weekend like that would knock me on my butt.
what a fun weekend! ha i wish i could still act like i was in college without hurting afterwards:-)
Ahhh, I LOVE La Madeleine!!! We eat there every time we’re in Dallas!!
Mine was so busy, yet somehow relaxing. Perfection! Yours sounds pretty dang fantastic too. Glad you had a good time and took a break. 🙂
I love Dallas! I am from Southlake! Do you know where that is?
I DO know where that is! my hubby is from dallas and we actually have a lot of friends who are from southlake 🙂
Talk about a whirlwind weekend. Sounds like fun, though. I went to La Madeleine, too. Although I skipped out the back so I wouldn’t be tempted by the pastries!
I love whoopie pies! Looks like you had a lot of fun! : )
It sounds like a great, if not hectic, weekend! I do find it hard to party into the morning hours anymore. I like to be in bed by midnight! Aahhh…I miss the the days of my youth! 😉
