Austin and Beyond
I've had a fantastic weekend with my sweet Mexican. He has done a rather good job detailing our weekend as a whole on his blog (yes, he updated it!!), so I suggest you go read it. I'm feeling lazy and ungirly right now to want to go the extra mile to add on to what he has already blogged, so I'm just going to highlight:
Saturday afternoon: Had a blast at Rick and Bethany's beautiful wedding. Congrats you guys!!
Saturday evening: Had dinner with Jeff and Cindy Maya (friends from Dallas who also attended the wedding) at a lovely Italian restaurant called Asti Trattoria--gourmet style and very un-American. Superb! We also drove downtown to 6th Street for a brief moment. I made a quick stop at the Hard Rock Cafe to get a souvenir martini glass while Josue stood by the street and took this awesome picture.
Sunday morning/early afternoon: Yeah, yeah, we were heathens and completely skipped out on church. Instead, we pigged out at the Green Pastures by having their awesome Sunday Buffet. (Check it out by clicking on the 'Sunday Buffet' link on the website. Just make sure you're not reading this if you're feeling particularly hungry.)
Sunday afternoon through evening: Went mostly window-shopping at the San Marcos Outlet Mall. It was PACKED and it was also an extremely HOT day. I somehow got a serious tan just by walking from one section of the outlet to the other. Well, we also drove around with the convertible top down in our rental. Silly of us when the whole purpose of getting this rental was for the A/C. ANYWAY, we initially made a pact with each other that we were only going to walk around and keep on eye on things worth getting, and then only purchase them the next day we return. That worked for the most part, but there were some great deals that were just too risky to pass on. We were afraid that someone else would snatch them up, so we went ahead and bought them. So much for the pact.
That's it. Now back to more cleaning and laundry....

Green Pastures sounds like a veggie restaurant. :)
We can't resist outlet malls either. It's terrible, isn't it?!

I can't believe yall went 45 minutes to just "look around". I couldn't handle that waste of time.
Glad you didn't become members of a different church!
