As every good morning in Texas should, we started it off with Whataburger. Taquitos and OJ, as close to perfection as you can get at 6am!

This being my second year to join Thomas, I had an archive of pictures that I knew I needed to replicate for this year, this being one of them!

Sea of burnt orange… Only kidding, the Sooners were out in full force Saturday morning! We were quite outnumbered.

Not sure if I forgot where the camera was or if I was just too tired to care, not sure what the heck I was looking at. Did I mention we had to get up at 6am?

 Thomas came in hot with our awesome seats! Row 4 in the end zone. Seriously the most perfect seats!

We sat right behind Bevo the entire game, which provided for some interesting moments as he was not a happy camper for the majority of the first quarter!

At halftime, a good friend of mine who works for ESPN was able to get us down on to the field. UH… Can you say AWESOME!

Seriously, it was an awesome experience, and I can’t thank him enough.

This guy’s face was the icing on the cake^

Although our longhorns weren’t able to pull off the W, it was an amazing game! Texas outdid OU in just about everything… except scoring. It was so funny after the game to hear all of the OU fans talking about how Texas technically beat them. It really was a crazy game! Coach Strong is definitely building an army!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday College Football Games, I know I did!

1. Amber Blush Body lotion from Bath & Body works! Its such a great scent. Other than their aromatherapy line, I’m never that impressed with the scents that B&B put out, but this one has really been a game changer! It’s not an overpowering smell, but just enough that it leaves a nice scent on my skin while moisturizing as well.

2. Harvest Gathering- White Barn Candle! I know I said I’m not a huge believer in Bath & Body works, and I really hate paying their prices for candles, but this one takes the cake for all fall scents. It has a perfect blend of leaves and cinnamon and heavenliness I really don’t think anything will ever beat this. The only downside is that it burn very quickly.

3. Bigelow Brand Orange & Spice tea! Yum Yum Yum! I love all things spice, and from the minute I tasted this tea, I knew it was my new favorite fall time tea!
4. Homecoming mums! I have a love hate relationship with these little things, but every year I just can’t say no to making them!

5. Mary Kay Timewise Moisturizer. I absolutely love this. It goes on so light, I never feel greasy or oily, especially when it starts getting cooler outside and my face needs the extra moisture!

What are some of your fall faves?

Like every trip, this one started out by taking our sweet fur baby to my moms! Sophie has clearly passed up the weight limit on riding in the front seat, She now turns on the “fasten passenger seat belt” indicator on my nav screen… every single time!

We dropped her off at my moms house, where Soph is far too comfortable, and knew we had nothing to worry about!

 Thomas and I made our way down to our favorite city in no time at all! We checked in to our AirBnB home and rested for a bit before heading off to our first adventure of the weekend. If you’ve never stayed at an AirBnB, or never heard about them, they are private homes or sometimes rooms in peoples’ houses that are rented out, often at extremely low prices, and always cheaper than hotel! They are located around the world, so no matter where you’re traveling, there’s almost always going to be an AirBnB around. This was our second AirBnB experience, and I really can’t say enough about how awesome it was.

First on our agenda was a Kyle Park concert at River Road Ice House. We paid extra for VIP area and  were quite disappointed in just about everything. It was a super laid back venue, and I guess Kyle Park thought he could be laid back too. Long story short, the concert sucked, we drove an hour for nothing, and didn’t enjoy ourselves at all. You win some you lose some, right?

Saturday we decided to float the river. The Comal River to be exact. Last summer we floated the Guadalupe River, which was quite rocky and had low water, so we were thankful for higher water levels at the Comal and just a more relaxed float over all. There was also a man taking pictures as people floated by on the river! Once he had taken your picture, he’d toss you a strand of beads, Mardi Gras style, minus showing your boobs, that had a bobber and a waterproof tag that had his website on there. Which is how we ended up with this awesome picture!

After the river, as always, we grabbed some Gristmill, which is only the greatest restaurant in Gruene, Texas. The onion rings are to die for, and everything else is nothing short of perfection,

Also, a must stop- Simply Detailed! I always find so many amazing apparel items here, its so hard to limit myself.

 Saturday night was the real deal… Charlie Strong’s Longhorn debut! It was a rocking’ night at DKR!

 Stronghorns Longhorns Pulled off the win with ease, which left me with a happy boyfriend. Unfortunately, by this point in our trip we were slowly entering exhaustion territory. We needed up skipping the 6th street partying after the game and turned in early. Which ended up being the best thing because the next morning we got up bright and early to head to Schlitterbahn for the first 1/2 of the day! I came here so much when I was younger, but haven’t been in the last 6 years, and boy have things changed! Nonetheless, Thomas and I had an awesome time!

 Sunday night, we went out for Mexican. Although we have Gloria’s in Dallas, we tried out the one in Austin… The Austin location is just as crappy as the Dallas ones have become. So sad because this chain used to be one of our favorites.

After dinner, we again, headed down to New Braunfels, this time for a Travis Tritt/ Randy Rogers concert at White Water Amphitheater . We were in full on exhaustion mode by this point, and being at a venue where there were close to 5 thousand people was probably not the best thing. I think it was all of the middle aged women who were scantily clothed, or maybe it was the pregnant girl who was standing next to us drinking a beer, that did it for me, but all of that paired with two tired people, was not a good mix. We lasted through Travis Tritt and a couple of RRB songs until we had enough and retreated home. I was asleep before we even hit the highway. Knowing I was able to sleep in the next morning was enough to send me in to a deep, deep, sleep!

Monday morning, after sleeping in much later than any day prior, Thomas and I slowly packed our bags and prepped for our drive home.

I really can’t call it a successful trip down south unless we make a stop at The Czech Stop in the small Texas town Of West.

We were sad to see our trip come to an end, but with this trip ending, it meant we were just a few days away from our trip to Boston! And little did we know, we’d be leaving even sooner than we thought. We head off to Boston tomorrow, which means I should really be packing, but of course, blogging>packing.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day and of course the start to September!

Our trip to Austin on 9/14 was such an adventure! UT lost to Ole Miss, but we still managed to have a good time!

For our second trip to the fair, we were there for the Texas/OU game… Thomas is such a die hard UT fan, and I grew up a UT fan (although not as much of a fan as Thomas is) He’s rubbed off on me, and I’ve really gotten into the spirit! And it didn’t hurt that Texas won!

 

The last couple of days I’ve made various trips to Bath & Body Works to help get out house into the fall spirit. We not have an array of scents filling the air- Autumn, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Leaves, and  Harvest Gathering! I even did a little decorating!

Needless to say, the start of my fall season has been busy but filled with lots of fun stuff! I’m constantly searching for cute DIY fall decor ideas, if anyone has any that they’ve made or would just like to share, I’d love to hear about them/ see them!

Happy Tuesday! Only 16 days until Halloween, 43 days until Thanksgiving, 70 days until Christmas, and 86 until my birthday!
