Cinco de Mayo - Ay ya ya

I love Cinco de Mayo. Especially when it's on the weekend and we go out to our fave Mexi restaurant (Tiempo!) and party it up with our amigos! This year, with it being during the week, I decided to have our own fiesta en mi casa. OK, I'm done, promise! We had tostadas, guacamole, and chips and salsa. I made the bucket of margaritas from this post but I forgot the limeade :( They weren't as slushy as they should have been, but still did the job! It made quite a few. I had 2 and Beau had...well, who's counting right. He may or may not have had a couple, few or several of his favorites, whiskey and coke, after he finished off the margs. Egh! Makes me sick just thinking about it! Needless to say we - and I say "we" because I couldn't go to sleep - were up until after midnight. Beau went to the study and started blaring all sorts of songs from Limewire! Anything from screwed rap (oh boy!) to Evanescence? He's so weird! It was quite the list of songs. And they were blaring! I'm amazed that he was able to get himself up this morning for work. I did hear him rummaging through the pantry for Motrin. That must have been some headache!

Love this dress. I bought it at Anthro a couple of years ago and have only worn it once! I decided to bust it out for our dinner. I love putting on a cute dress for dinner at the house with the Mr. :) It somehow makes dining in a little more special! I don't think he minds one bit....

Food!

Digging in!

I hope you all had a great Cinco de Mayo! So excited that tomorrow is Thursday!! Getting closer to the weekend. We are heading out of town again this weekend for a party/bbq/second reception for our friends that got married a couple of weeks ago. Lots of food and dancing!! Should be another fun weekend. And ladies, don't forget your mommas on Sunday! We're lucky enough to have my parents so close, so we are dropping miss Daisy off before we head out of town and picking her up on Sunday. That way I get to spend the afternoon with my special momma! :) Just picked her present up today and I LOVE it!

Oh Austin, how I love thee

We had a fabulous time in Austin! We spent the weekend at the Barton Creek Resort up in the hills. It was incredible! I didn't want to leave :( When we first checked in we walked up to our room and it was perfect! A coworker of mine has a side travel-agent biz, so he scored us a few upgrades for free!! Our room had a freaking fireplace in it?? Oh and after we had settled in, we heard a knock on the door. We figured it was our luggage, but no, it was a nice man bringing us up some wine. I was officially in love from that moment on. Wine is most certainly the way to my heart! Friday night agenda: Mexican food, plenty of margaritas and queso! Oh it was lovely!

after too many margs...

We did a little hiking/walking around the grounds on Saturday - Beau's birthday! The weather was no bueno, but we made the best of it! I didn't realize we were going to be encountering so many slippery rocks on our adventure. I nearly ate it about 300 times. Beau had to walk in front of me and ease me down several times. I also wasn't wearing the most appropriate walking shoes for the day. We spent the rest of the afternoon hopping from the hot tub to the bar. We polished off a few brewski's and played some shuffle board. Touchy subject - I was up on the best out of 5 game but mr. cocky couldn't handle his woman beating him so we had to play 7 games and I lost it. I think the Aqua Tea had something to do with it. I also found out that some liquors make me angry. Not a side I'm wanting to showcase in the future.....

Beau's birthday dinner!

Sunday was our anniversary and it was a beautiful day! We went and had a delicious Easter breakfast and then had an incredible couples massage. Aaah it was so relaxing! We spent the rest of the afternoon laying out by the pool. Not a cloud in the sky! Of course my little Irish man got scorched. He likes to say that he's "golden" even though he looks like a lobster. We went back up to the room and opened presents...well I did. I had ordered something for Beau and it didn't come in on time :( I opened my sweet card and then my gift and it was a new Bible with my new last name on it! Such a sweet gift. I'll love it forever! We ended our anniversary with a dinner at Ruth's Chris. Best steak I've ever eaten, hands down!

Going out to RC's

All in all it was a perfect weekend! We had a blast and I think we might make this little spot "our spot" for quick getaways. I LOVE Austin! And I never thought Beau would be too thrilled with it since he's an Aggie and all, but he loved it too!! OH and guess what, his company just so happens to have an office there..what what - imjustsayin ;)

Sorry for the picture overload! I took about 600 the entire weekend, so this is just a mere glimpse of what I had taken. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!! Thank you all for the sweet comments on my last posts! Beau loved all the birthday wishes :)
