Celebrate life...

So true.

Isn't it? I find this true in my own life for sure, the more I focus on the bad, the more bad things that come...but when I search for the good in my life, it seems to overflow. Just something to think about as we head into the weekend. The fact that it's already Friday is definitely something to celebrate.

This weekend Dave and I will be celebrating 3.5 years of marriage (as of today)! We like to celebrate the little milestones along with the big...because why not? It makes life a lot more fun to celebrate the little things, trust me. 

What do you have to celebrate this weekend? I hope you all have had a wonderful week!

These are a few of my favorite things: Fall edition.

The official first day of Fall is in a few days and it is finally starting to feel a bit fallish here in south Texas...at least to us. At this point anything under 100 feels amazing. But I thought I'd share a few of my favorite things to enjoy once the cooler temps hit...

Most of you know I've been burning my Fall scented candles for awhile now, totally in denial that it was still blazing outside. I didn't care, it made me happy.

I almost got the book before the movie, but I'm the weirdo who likes to see the movie and then read the book...so I waited. But there is nothing better than curling up to a good book on a cool evening with the windows open.

You guys know that I enjoy my tea whether it's hot or cold outside, but it becomes a necessity in the cooler months.

Dave and I have been having fun trying all the Oktoberfest, harvest, and pumpkin beers out right now. This was one of our favorites so far.

What are your favorite Fall things? I'd love to hear!

Dallas: Poor David's and Roots.

As most of you know, Dave and I made a trip up to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area two weekends ago. It was really nice for us to get out of town and get a hotel, we hadn't had a trip just the two of us all summer. Friday was crazy, as soon as Dave got home from classes we hit the road and got to our hotel just in time to change clothes and head back out to Poor David's Pub.

Dave had been asked to play there by a friend whose band was also playing that night. It was a good time with fun friends...

Our friend David of The Krooks

Saturday we got to sleep in and enjoy the day. We headed to Cafe Brazil for coffee and brunch, which was amazing. And then we headed to the mall to do some shopping. We did some damage at H&M, but since Austin doesn't have one yet, it was necessary.

Dave's show that night was at Roots Coffeehouse and we loved this place. It has a very homey, organic feel to it, which is my favorite kind of coffee shop. And their food/drinks were delicious. I had The Medi wrap and some kind of frappuccino goodness.

Dave got to meet Caroline (of Sew Caroline) and we both got to meet her husband, also Dave. SO glad they came out! Our twitter friend (now real life friend since we've hung out so many times) Maria and her sweet husband came too, we always love hanging out with them.

We had a great time on our mini vacation, if you can call doing a show per night a vacation, hehe. I definitely came back needing some down time, but we had fun!

iPhone recap...

While I'm over here taking it easy because I'm still sick, I thought I'd share with you all some of my iPhone pictures that haven't made it to the blog yet. Thank you all so much for the sweet "get well" tweets, they mean the world to me!

-My new fall clothes that I can't wait to wear...all from Target by the way.
-A fall headband I made...that one was for myself, but I made another and it's going up in the shop today!
-Hand popped kettle corn and cherry wheat beer mean it's fall, right?!
-My first time making pancakes, pretty dang proud of myself, even though I know pancakes are easy. I get nervous cooking on the stove, I'm much more of an oven kind of girl...working on it!
-Getting down to business.
-Dave and I finally watched "Big Easy Express" with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Mumford and Sons, and Old Crow Medicine Show...I highly recommend it! Made me want to hop in the car and go on tour with Dave...someday.

-Our hotel in Dallas.
-He be jammin'.
-Elevator photo op.
-Red pants happy dance. (This outfit is also all from Target...can you tell I love it there?)
-Enjoying coffee and brunch with my love.
-Homemade whole wheat pizza...oh so good.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Anyone do anything exciting? Fill me in, I was stuck on the couch most of the weekend trying to take it easy and recover, let me live vicariously through you.
