Whitney and Daniel are Married!

What a unique, fun, memorable, authentic and lovely Steampunk wedding in Austin, Texas! Grant, Cadie and I helped setup on Saturday, had a wonderful time at the wedding, and helped clean up until about 2am. Grant and I went to the rehearsal dinner on Friday evening while Cadie attended her school dance and then Cadie came down with Nina and Papa. Sunday morning was a taco brunch and then back to Dallas to get the boys from Peyton. The venue was special, Whitney was beautiful, and I was impressed by the elaborate costumes! Whitney (and Brianna) outdid themselves and it was truly and evening to remember! The cake was steaming, Whitney and Daniel had 3 costume changes, there were activities through the evening like caricature drawings and photo booths, the décor was detailed, and everyone had an amazing time.

Beautiful rehearsal dinner.

Sunday brunch! The missing bouquet was finally found!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hamilton Day Trip

Grant's love language is travel and adventure and he planned the perfect day of fun on Sat., Feb. 3! We left on a 6:30am flight, arrived in Chicago around 8:30am, had a lovely brunch at the Palmer House, walked through Millennium Park, grabbed desserts at Little Italy, saw the 2pm matinee of Hamilton, and headed to the airport and caught the 6pm flight home. We were back at the house by 8:30pm! It was an amazingly orchestrated day! Hamilton was every better than I expected, and I had high expectations. It was also a special to get to know Ted and Joanna better and we were able to have meaningful time to connect over brunch and as we walked around the city. They are lovely and kind and I am thankful they are in our lives.

We had targeted that weekend for a little getaway, but things have been busy and we decided it would be complicated to be away for the whole weekend. Grant flexed and devised the new plan so we could be with the kids on Friday evening and Sunday but still see Hamilton. On the Thursday before we left, I texted Ted and Joanna Price and asked if they would like to go with us. They said YES! We were so impressed with their spontaneity and Ted found us awesome tickets on row R in the orchestra. We could see perfectly and they were just on the outside of the most expensive ticket so they were a great price and still great views.

Thank you to Grant, the Prices' and non-rev travel benefits for an amazing day!
