On being loved...

This weekend was the first weekend I could feel that cool fall breeze come through. Everything glowed and being outside felt like walking through warm silk. I was so blessed again to be surrounded by amazing friends all weekend. Whether it was hitting happy hour with co-workers, trying out the new wine bar with my BTFF,  bonding with my kids over a lackluster event kickoff, chowing down on the bypass burger and limeades at Dry Creek Cafe, watching the WORST game I've ever seen against UCLA, sipping lemonade while watching the boats on the pond at Discovery Green, trying to find pumpkin pie by the slice, or curling up at home...I spent the whole weekend feeling so incredibly loved.

A cool breeze is blowing outside, making a little howling noise, but I am so very warm inside right now.

I love y'all too.

XOXO

HK B-day Hey Hey...and Thanks Oprah!

Oh Birthdays!

My grEIGHT team surprised me with a homemade dark chocolate and strawberry cheesecake and a sweet card. My actual birthday was a mental health afternoon and was spent running around my loves from my work to various establishments. Thanks to everyone who came out last Wednesday and to Katherine for putting up with my need to shop.

I had a fantastic 25th with family and friends last weekend. Complete with Rounders, bacon cake ( to be explained), spa day and lots of shopping.

I kicked off the weekend on Friday taking a personal day to get some business taken care of...oh and also go to the spa. Viva Day Spa in Austin knows JUST how to do everything perfect, and they even gave me a birthday discount! I got the Summer Glow Package and I highly recommend it! I followed my spa day with lunch with the Topher and shopping shopping with Teri. I got the hat, shoes, and vest in the pic below!

Then came Saturday! Glorious Saturday was spent with my near and dear ones at the one and only Rounders. My birthday cake ( thanks Chris!) was from Sugar Mammas Bakeshop , it was a french toast cake, with a sprinkle of bacon on the top. Think about when your bacon gets in your maple syrup. Oh yeah....It was amazing and worth every sinful calorie. Judge all you want.

The staff at Rounders treated us like kings and they were amazing. After that we hit up Highball for some skeeball ( pic above), and TMNT the arcade game. Then off to 6th for the rest of the long long long evening. Thanks to all my family and friends who made it out. It meant a lot to me! Enjoy pics of me entering a new stage of adulthood, one where I don't act like an adult at all.

Oh and Oprah gave my school system $1,000,000. Thanks Oprah and the Angel Network!

XOXO, HK
