Engagement Party!

So this weekend C's parents are graciously throwing us an engagement party. I can't wait. And did I mention that it's going to be at the coast! I love the town that we are having it in. If we didn't have so many people coming to our wedding I thought long and hard about having it there. C's family has been going here each summer for well over 60+ years. They haven't missed a single summer.
Anyways, while I'm not planning the actual party I am in charge of the housing arrangements and food for our friends and bridal party, as well as, the housing for my mom and family. While I don't mind doing this I have found myself getting flustered and stressed about it tonight. I think a lot of this has to do with C leaving town all week for work. He won't be back till Friday to pick me up and head to the coast. This leaves all of the final details like grocery shopping, packing for the both of us, laundry, and coordinating people all on my shoulders. Ahhhh.. There have been, no joke, 15 lists made tonight alone about things that need to done. I need a drink!

Oh great, as I am typing this they make a nice little announcement about the upcoming weather forecast and what does it include...a possible tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico. Lets add one more thing to my list to stress about.

Well, enough with the freak out. Monday is over, which means Tuesday lunch with my boss tomorrow! Yummy!

Movies and Yogurt..mmmm

So we decided at the last minute to go see the new Angels and Demons movie last night. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it, despite the crummy reviews. I can say that it wasn't as good as The DaVinci Code, but hey. Towards the end there were definitely some twists that I didn't see coming.

The yogurt part of the night was the yummy highlight to the night. We went to the Hill Country Galleria to see the movie and a new store opened up recently called Yogurt Planet. It was so good.

So you go into the store get a cup and fill it up with whatever flavor of NON FAT yogurt you want. Mix and match is the name of the game. I personally really enjoyed the peanut butter and cake batter. Next time I want to try the pomegranate flavor. Next you move on to the topping bar. Add whatever fruit and sweets your heart desires. From strawberries, blue berries, pineapple, to fruity pebbles, cheese cake bites, and captain crunch. I was in heaven at this place! Definitely recommend it! The also have a location at The Triangle, and if I remember properly, there is a catering truck that you can bring to your event!

First Post

It's my first post. I finally got around to making this thing, so lets see if I can keep up with it. Hopefully it will serve as a journal for all of the wedding planning and life events that go on.

So a little info about C and I... I just graduated from UT and just started a job after being unemployed for the past few months. The whole getting up early thing really isn't working for me yet. C and I have been together for almost 7 and a half years, high school sweet hearts. We have a great little pom named JD, who is the biggest pimp on the block and he knows it.

We love being outside and enjoying all that Austin has to offer. We are also big home-bodies that enjoy just relaxing with an adult beverage or two and watching movies. Really we're just attempting to look like adults and do the grown up thing.
