Southern Star- Beer Brewery




Oh my goodness... we found a new place to go on Saturday afternoons, Southern Star Beer Brewery in Conroe. If you haven't gone- you should go and try it out.

Black Lab puppy found....



Brian found the cutest little black lab puppy on the side of the road and brought her home. She was about 6 weeks old and I named her Bella. Unfortunately, we aren't quite ready for a puppy right now. So lukcily, some friends of ours took her and she is in a happy home.

By the way- I looked to see if there was a missing puppy, and no luck.

Another fun LRC event!


Painting with a twist is such a creative way to hang out with your girlfriends! Sipping on some wine and painting on a blank canvas with your friends is sooooo much fun! Here is my finished product....

Our birthday!!!! :)


What a fantastic evening at my favorite restaurant, Hubbell and Hudson! Happy 27th birthday to Brian and me!!!

NYC 2010


The three Amigas! :)

Nicole, why do you have to lean on me every time we take a picture? haha







What a great trip back to New York. I can't believe Brian and I met there three years ago. Now we are going on our second wedding anniversary. Crazy!! It was a fantastic trip getting to celebrate Danielle's 30th birthday. I have to say the only positive thing that came from The Bachelor were three great friends, Danielle, Nicole, and Stephanie(sorry you missed this one Steph.) We really do have a great time together.

Every time I go to NYC I always see something different and of course always try a new restaurant out. We had busy plans Friday going to Ellis Island and seeing the Statue of Liberty. Then we went to China town and ate some delicious pork rolls (which I was hesitant to eat at first,) but boy were they yummy. Then we headed to little Italy for some scrumptious dessert. After a long day we headed home to get ready for Danielle's 30th birthday bash. We all had to wear black or white and she wore pink- it looked really cute. Since it was an open bar, let's just say we all consumed a little more than usual. At about 1am we then headed to 230 on 5th avenue, which is a roof top bar where you have a perfect view of the Empire state building lit up. We headed home around four and got to bed around 5am.

Saturday morning we slept in of course then finally woke up around ten to get our day started. We went to Shake Shack for lunch, (which is a famous burger joint that you literally have to wait in line for an hour for) but WELL WORTH IT!!! Then we did a lot more touristy things like Wall Street, Ground Zero, Soho shopping, and the Pier etc. After another exhausting day we got ready to go out and celebrate Brian's 27th birthday. We went to Mercer Kitchen where Brian's sister and boyfriend surprised him. We ate a delicious dinner, Crumbs cupcakes, then went to Time Square to see the beautiful lit up streets. After being a total tourist we went to High Bar to celebrate. After another long night we had to do it up right a get some pizza and eat it on Joe's roof top deck at three in the morning.

On our last day in New York we went and ate a delicious breakfast at Sara Beth's in Central Park, then took a nice 30 minute stroll until we had to head back and pack and be on our way to the airport.

***What a great reunion and thanks Danielle and Joe for letting us stay with you guys.
***Happy Birthday Danielle!
***And Danielle and Nic I can't wait for our next reunion! :)

LRC at the lake





Wow, it was a very hot day, but with amazing gals, food, and drinks. The boat and golf cart was a great way to get around that day. Too bad we never played the game though. haha! :)
