6 Year Wedding Anniversary

June 17, 2012 marked our 6th wedding anniversary!  We decided to take a little trip down to Austin to celebrate and just getaway. 

Of course we had to make a stop in Waco!  We went to Spice – my favorite store in Waco.  Then I made Charlie drive around campus, see all the changes and look at my old stomping grounds Smile

We stayed in Round Rock the 1st night (to save a little money).  When we got to Round Rock we had lunch at Rudy’s.  We were both very impressed with the fancy thing that washes your hands – look how fancy it is!  Charlie just loves me taking his picture, ha ha, so this is the best shot I got, before he started getting really annoyed, ha ha.  While we were in Round Rock we had some fun at the outlet mall and I got my diaper bag from the Fossil Outlet Store!

The next morning we got up and headed into Austin.  We did some shopping and had brunch at 24 Diner – it was a hip little space and the food was delish!iphone July 10, 2012 103

We then headed to S. Congress to do a little shopping.  Charlie had brought one of his DFD t-shirts and wanted to trade it for an Austin Fire Department t-shirt.  So our 1st stop was Station 6 on S. Congress.  We got to look around there station and chat with one of the guys, it was fun!

They did not have a t-shirt in Charlie’s size at that station, but one of the guys had a shirt from Station 2 that would work, so they traded.  I like this shirt!

We did some window shopping, checked out a few antique shops and went to the Big Top Candy Shop.  It was really cool – they had every kind of candy that you could imagine!

Then it was on to check into our room at Lakeway Resort & Spa.

The rest of the weekend we hung out by the pool, swam, and I got a prenatal massage – which was awesome!

We had a really relaxing getaway and got in some good time together before we become a family of 3!  Closer to our actual anniversary we went to dinner at Truluck’s and Charlie surprised me with an Anthropologie gift card :) (even though we weren’t getting each other gifts).  Charlie is a wonderful husband – I am one lucky girl!  I know he is going to be a great father and can’t wait for all the adventures ahead in our marriage.  I love him so much!

They Call Him The Fireman…

This summer we had some of the Dallas Fire Department guys and their families over to hang out and cookout.  All these guys were in the same class.  Since finishing school they have all been spread out to different stations, so it was fun to see everyone and catch up!

The food and some delicious watermelon!

Charlie got to be a part of a Dallas Fire Department flash mob!  The guys from Station 26 went to the Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff and did a flash mob in honor of Dyrk Burcie.  He is a little boy diagnosed with stage 4 hepatoblastoma (liver cancer) and his dad is Dallas fireman.  For more information you can go to their website www.dyrkstrong.org.  Charlie is on the right in the back Smile.

A couple of weeks ago Charlie took his Anatomy & Physiology course.  They do the course in 2 weeks – crazy amount of information!  He did great and passed, yay!  The cookie cake I made him when he finished!

This week Charlie started Paramedic School (perfect timing with me being on bed rest, not!! Sad smile).  So he is taking classes at UT Southwestern Monday-Friday and he will finish in January.  Then it is back to a station and he will work his 24 hour on/48 hour off schedule again!  We both can’t wait for him to be finished with school – I know he will do great!

06.17.06…Celebrating 5 years

A couple months ago Charlie and I celebrated 5 years of marriage!  Part of me can’t believe that it has already been 5 years!  After lunch we headed to The Belmont Hotel in Dallas.  It is a 1940’s Boutique hotel that was renovated in 2005.  It is perched on a cliff with a nice view of the Dallas skyline.  It has a funky-retro feel to it!6-25-11 007iphone pics 223

After freshening up we headed to dinner at Saint Ann.  This restaurant was super cute, it was an old school that was renovated into a restaurant!  You know we love a good renovation!

Before heading to the Magnolia to see a movie, we enjoyed dessert at La Duni.  It was late and there were not that many people there, it was pretty romantic!

It was a fun, special, and romantic weekend!  I could not ask for a more perfect man to spend the rest of my life with!  Here’s to 50 more!!  Love him!!

Burn Night

Charlie recently had his Burn Night and graduation from the Dallas Fire-Rescue Academy.  They started the night off with a really cool video that they made.  Then we headed outside to watch them show off!  These were all tasks that they completed throughout their training.

The first event was repelling from 6 stories high…

I am so proud of Charlie, he worked very hard!  He has been in the field for a few weeks and he is loving it.  I could not be happier that he loves what he is doing!

Afterwards we had dinner with the fam at Twisted Root then headed across the street to Adair’s to hang out and as a tradition the guys signed the ceiling.
