Magnolia Cafe

Leslie and I decided that we wanted to try out new restaurants while we're in Austin. They have to be original "Austin-type" places. Our first stop yesterday was Magnolia Cafe. The decor was very cool and laid back. You could say it had a "dive" atmosphere. We were happy we chose it. The menu was huge and we very starving from working out earlier that morning. So..we decided to split the "Hummus and Tabouli Plate" and the "Flamingo" sandwich. YUMMY! It was delicious. I highly recommend this place. I heard the brunch was good too on Sundays.

5 days Livin' in Austin, TX

So, Hampton and I made it! We're here in Austin with Bryan ;) Our family is now back together again! The drive on Friday wasn't too bad. I was able to leave Fossil after lunch. I worked with the most amazing designers and made so many great friends working there. I already miss everyone ;(

So far living here has been great. We're staying with Bryan's parents until we sell our house in Grapevine. They're out of town right now until next Monday, so we're holding down the fort for them. We went out on Friday night to a couple bars on 4th street and then Saturday we shopped around the "SoCo" area of downtown. Sunday night we had Leslie and Drew over for dinner and we grilled out. It was fun to hang out & celebrate us moving to Austin!

Meet Hampton, our Goldendoodle Puppy

It was love at first sight when I saw a picture of a "Goldendoodle". I knew that was the kind of puppy I wanted. He's half standard poodle and half golden retriever. Smart & sweet..and they don't shead! After weeks and months of hinting (and begging) to Bryan, he finally gave in. Meet Hampton Bulte. He is 5 months now and he'll be going on the road with us. Our little Prince!

This is his Dad's Sister (standard poodle)

...more pictures of Hampton to come!

The Spangler- Bulte Wedding

Bryan and I got married on May 2, 2009 in Dallas, Texas at the beautiful Dallas Arboretum. Although the worst storm of the spring hit that evening..it was a day I will never forget! Everything was perfectly pink; our cake, flowers, and the lighting. It was a dream come true! All our family & closest friends were among us on our special day. I was finally marrying my prince and I was a "Queen" for the day.
