Trip to Magnolia Market

Happy Birthday to my little sis.  Marcie is pretty much obsessed with Chip and Joanna Gaines and because we live like an hour away from Magnolia Market, I had to find her a little gift to send her. 

This place was ridiculous!!!  When I say ridiculous I mean everything is CRAZY expensive and really a waste of time.  Yea there was some pretty stuff and their little shop "area" was cute but I can find the same stuff at Hobby Lobby or other boutiques for cheaper than what Joanna is selling them for.  The only thing worth visiting is their bakery!!  It was pretty amazing.

I had a chocolate espresso cupcake and it was to die for and Adam got the cinnamon roll which was heavenly.  I wanted to try one of each!! 

It was a gorgeous day in Waco, but there isn't much in this town to see besides Magnolia Market and the Dr, Pepper plant!

Update on Adam: He had his testing done for the Leander Police Department and did pretty well.  He also had his board interview and impressed the board.  We are hoping and praying everything works out and he will have a job by October 1st.

September Already??

Wow, I can't believe it is September already!!  We've been in Austin for almost 3 months and time is flying by.  I am loving my job at the restaurant and are making new friends with coworkers and customers.  It's nice to be in a job that is more positive and fun.  The medical field is full of drama and sadness.  Everyone at Kerbey Lane Café loves my sweet southern charm.  There aren't many Carolina accents around here so especially the customers love to hear me talk. 


Every Saturday Adam and I, along with a friend we met in the academy, try and go on adventures to touristy places in Austin.  We went and visited the little town of Fredericksburg, which is filled with little boutiques and cute stores.  We had a lot of fun people watching and shopping. 

We also had dinner with some other people from the academy.  We were looking for something fun to do in the area and we decided to race go carts.  The place we went to was outside on a legit race car track.  The go carts go up to 60mph, you had to wear a helmet, neck brace and gloves, and also sign a release form.  It was soooooo much fun.  We were all terrified at first but it was soooo much fun and worth the money.
