I have been in Austin for the past couple of days and absolutely love it here!! I have no idea why it took me so long to find my way to this amazing city. It's only 3 hours away! Seriously...what is wrong with me?
I decided to surprise my sister with a long weekend vacation for her birthday. My girl is turning 18! I cannot believe that she is going to officially be an 'adult'. That crap just blows my mind. I figured she would enjoy celebrating her birthday in a fun hip place and this place is definitely unique. Another thing is, I think I have gained about 20 pounds just by being here. The food here is incredible. I have no idea why people claim that Houston is known for their food. There is no comparison when it comes to Austin. I have tasted some of the best dishes of my life these past few days. Today I went to this burger place called Hopdoddy and there was an hour long wait, which apparently is normal for that restaurant. The wait was totally worth it. That burger was freaking orgasmic. Just wait till I finish editing that burger photo *drools*
and don't get me started on the coffee - THE CAFE'S HERE, UGHHHHH. Also I have only seen one Starbucks here, which makes me happy as well.

Anyways, here are a few pictures that I have taken with my phone. In my next Austin post I'll upload the real food photos :)


Austin, you're a babe.


On Bed Rest

Wednesday, July 01, 2015

Okay I'm not really on bed rest. Well not like a forced bed rest. I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out on Monday morning and for the past two days I have been laying on the couch drinking chocolate milkshakes and watching the remaining seasons of Gilmore Girls and Bob's Burgers on Netflix. I'm not really complaining, I have an endless supply of milkshakes coming at me but I'm SO FREAKING BORED. I hate laying around doing nothing. I would go out but my jaw is swollen and it hurts to talk and laugh so I'm sparing the rest of society and staying indoors until I fully heal.
So this is one of those catch up posts. Basically posting pictures of the eventful things that I have been doing for the past few days. And my, my, my it has been eventful.

It all started last Friday. I had just turned in my final for one of my summer classes and needed to celebrate! All I can say is I'm so grateful for the friends that I have. They took me to get pizza and then we went on a trip to the Contemporary Art Museum (which is always freeeeeee)

^^ISNT IT SO BEAUTIFUL?! This was one of those moments where my heart was racing a little too fast when I was staring at this piece. But the colors and the emotion and the textures...its too much to handle. She is just so beautiful. 
^^friends <3

The next day was the Pride parade in Houston!! This was the first time I had ever gone and for a Pride virgin like me, there couldn't have been a more perfect time to attend! After all that happened with the Supreme Court and the changes that our country made. I am so happy about it all #lovewins !!!!! This year the parade started at night which made it "America's First Night-Time Pride Parade" 
^^We were waiting for the shuttle to pick us up and take us to the parade...turned out the shuttle was a party bus!! I had never been on a party bus before and my goodness that was a different kind of fun. I think I have a new love for party buses. Neon flashing lights and EDM music pounding? I never thought I would enjoy that but surprisingly I did. 

That has been my life for the past few days. Now I'm off to place some ice on my jaw cause I can feel that sucker starting to swell. Hope you all have a wonderful summer week. Welcome back July!
