Austin: Day Two

By Stephanie | Uncategorized

On Thursday Matt and I slept in. We weren’t sure if we wanted to “waste” time by sleeping but I was really dreading the overnight drive home and figured it would help if we got some extra sleep. We ended up getting up around 10, put everything in the car and cruised up to Round

Austin: Day One

I haven’t been taking a ton of pictures but I thought I’d upload some of Matt and his five o’clock shadow. Hehe. We spent the day wandering around the downtown area and eating.  We had a lot of fun out in the sun.  I actually got hot for awhile there.  I guess 84 is warm

EFFFFFFFFFFF!

We made it to Austin.  I’m glad that we’re here and not on the road still… it was a looooong drive.  A bit of construction, plenty of bad drivers and driving half of it after dark made for a longer than expected drive.  We had fun on the road though.  Matt bought lots of fruit

Matt and I are taking a trip down to Austin tomorrow.  We’re so excited about our road trip!  The main reason for going is to see Trey Ratcliff speak.  His blog introduced me to the concept of HDR and inspired Matt to learn more.  HDR is more up Matt’s alley than my own but I’m

I’m slightly ashamed to say that I’ve been following this season’s “The Bachelor”. I’m not sure I’ve ever watched a whole episode… it was always so terrible!  I think I saw a commercial at work and decided to watch the first episode this season.  I did and liked it.  I’ve watched every one and am looking

Today I bought a pair of black All Stars.  As I was checking out, the young sales clerk tried to convince me that I needed to get another pair. Green, maybe? Oh man, don’t tempt me, kid! When I got to work, a co-worker asked me about them.  Then asked how old I was.  Hehe.  Then he

“The core of man’s spirit comes from new experiences.” – Christopher McCandless New experiences remind me that I’m alive.  Routine drives me nuts.  I don’t like getting to the point where I question my sanity, but it has happened a time or two.  Not while I was hiking on the Great Wall.  Or eating my

I didn’t take advantage of very many spring or fall breaks when I was in college, I was too busy working.   One of the few things I regret from college.  More fun should have been had! Now that Matt is in school, we have to plan our vacations and get-a-ways around his schedule.  Spring break is

Color Makes Me Smile

This is my favorite funky garage in our neighborhood. I’ve always assumed it belongs to the shop out front, which is a framing shop, but I guess I’m not sure. I just figured this was their way of framing the garage door.  Isn’t it fun? If When I have a studio for my various ventures,

My First Pair

I’ve always loved them. Never bought them. Broke down last week and got a pair. Love them. Want black ones. And red ones. And maybe white ones too. Lord, help me
