The Dunne's visit Houston!

We just love visitors and the Dunne's were no exception! We had a fun weekend eating and drinking around town. Plus, Jessica and I did a little shopping!

Check out the Texas waffles I made for brunch. Waffle maker courtesy of Chad (Eric's brother) and Amy (Chad's gf). So awesome!!

Halloween!!

We bought loads of candy in case of trick or treaters and didn't get a single one!! Boo hoo!!

Eric told me I have to get rid of the candy because we are eating it all!! I think it'll have to come to work with me!

Dixie was very festive this year, though. She was a penguin!

Jenn & Chris Peters's Wedding

And we were off again... This time to the Bay Area to celebrate the wedding of a great nursing school friend. It was a beautiful wedding and another fun weekend away!!

Quick Trip to Austin!

Eric had a business trip/guys weekend in Vegas over the weekend, so I headed to Austin to see my dear college friend, Caitlin. We had a great time checking out Austin and eating (duh!). We also went paddle boarding on a lake near downtown. Check out this amazing picture courtesy of Cait!

Seeing Paula and Giada in person!

I have the best husband! I know it's only been a few months, but really? I hit the jackpot. Not only is he incredibly nice, forgiving and patient (he'll be sad if I don't say handsome too), he got me tickets to the Houston Metro Food Show!! Plus special tickets to attend a cooking lesson with Paula and Giada. Heaven!!!

We had a good time and came back with about 12 different BBQ sauces, mopping sauces, dry rubs, etc. time to learn to BBQ, Eric!

Tahoe in September

We were so lucky to be able to go to Tahoe for Eric's family friends, Fran & Renz, 50th wedding anniversary! Talk about an amazing milestone and such a great celebration. They had friends from every stage in their lives there as well as their kids and grand kids!

The weather was beautiful and we had a great time just getting away for a bit.
