This weekend we traveled north to Abilene to celebrate my best friend, Sierra, and her first baby, Luke.  We arrived on Thursday, so I was able to hit up some of my favorite Abilene antique stores on Friday.  I bought a beautiful wooden globe ($15) for Turner's future big boy room, a beautiful southwestern rug for my brother ($8), and a wooden chess board ($5) also for Turner's room.  I walked away from many beautiful items...so hard to do.  You can't find items like these in Austin priced so low.

$42 - Vintage tea/bar cart

$25 - This would be cute for a neutral nursery

$60 - I'm thinking about doing a mirror wall in one of our rooms.

$10 - Would love to spray paint this and use it for a little girl's nursery

$25 - Hand embroidered clock. Such a unique item.

$25 - Large mirrors (amazing price for the size)

$125 - Absolutely stunning peacock quilt

Saturday, we celebrated baby Luke, who is due March 13!  Turner can't wait to meet his new best friend.  I enjoyed catching up with friends from college.



Sunday, it started to snow/sleet early in the morning so we headed back to Austin early to beat the dangerous roads (it was 80 degrees on Saturday) . Once we arrived home, we all took a much needed 2 hour nap (Turner was extremely fussy all weekend due to two new little teeth).  All in all it was a relaxing and fun weekend with friends.  Next time I'm in Abilene, it will be to meet Mr. Luke!

 Abilene, sweet Abilene.  I love every trip we take there. Great friends, great memories.  This past weekend we stayed w/our favorite couple at their new home.  It's such a blessing seeing your friends reach another goal in life; buying a home, having a baby, finding a job of their dreams, etc. We celebrated their new home by hitting up some estate sales and antique shops. We found an awesome coffee table for their new living room for $30, and I thrifted an antique breyer horse ($10) and a beautiful horse painting ($5).  Saturday night, we went to my friend Hope's going away party. So great introducing Mr. T to all of our friends. Sunday was a special day as we celebrated Alex's first Father's day.  His one request was to eat lunch at a japanese steakhouse, and pretty much do nothing the entire day. Unfortunately, we had to drive back to Austin with full bellies and tired eyes.  Thankfully Turner slept through the entire 3 1/2 hour ride home.

Hope you were able to celebrate Father's Day with your loved ones!

Yo, who wants to party?

Dad, I'm not done!

Had to post this : )

I need to detox...

Male bonding time - "Dude, have you played this game? It's awesome."

DQ blizzards on the road trip to and from Abilene

Pedicure w/Sierra....they wrapped these crazy hot washcloths around our calves. Goofy looking but felt amazing!

Tried the Necklace test to see if we could get a hint on the gender. Got a boy one time, and a girl the next.

Enjoyed some Republic Tequila Margaritas (I sadly had to decline)
