Six Years!

Juan and I celebrated 6 Years on Saturday. We dropped Amelia off at 1 pm and set off on our extended date of celebration! Thanks to Kasee and Steph for babysitting, it was so nice to know Amelia was happy and comfortable with her babysitters. But first, we started off the day with a morning at home:

 I drew this cute picture on the mirror of our family and I wrote, "I'm so happy to have you by my side each day!" Juan's face is blank because then as he's looking in the mirror, his face would fill in the drawing. Clever? Haha yeah, I'm a nerd.

Next we took Amelia to the park so she could show daddy her awesome slide skills.

After we dropped Amelia off, we went to lunch at Juan's pick, Juarez Bakery. It is a cute mexican restaurant with delicious quesadillas, home-made tortillas and thick and yum. Then we headed out shopping to Lakeline Mall. It was lovely to walk around just the two of us, and I miraculously didn't buy anything to Juan's delight. We then saw Breaking Dawn.

 Here we are in the theater. Juan is such a trooper, seeing the twilight movies with me each anniversary weekend the past 3 years. We both enjoyed the movie, although the honeymoon scenes were super awkward. I'm not a super fan, so don't attack me for the critique.

 Next we headed to Bess Bistro. It is in Austin and owned by Sandra Bullock. You know me and my celeb obsessions. Sadly we did not see her there that night. But the atmosphere and food were really good, and the prices weren't terrible either!

 Fried Green Tomatoes. We had to try this southern classic. They served them with a crab salad and hot sauce, Juan and I both loved.

 I got Jambalaya. It was vegetarian served over steam rice. It was light and very well seasoned. I enjoyed it, and am glad I tried another fun southern dish. But I wouldn't order this again.

 Juan ordered Shrimp and Grits. I loved ordering such new things that we wouldn't normally try. Juan's honey sauce was so so good. 

 And we got an order of fries in case we both hated our meals, haha. Always a back-up plan. The fries were actually very delicious.

 Overall we loved the restaurant. The atmosphere was quaint and welcoming.

 Oops let's not forget dessert. Best Creme Brulee possible. It was creamy and flavorful. Juan got bread pudding, which he liked. I'm not a fan.

Next up we headed to The Domain for an outdoor shopping experience. It is like the Gateway but at least twice the size, and a good mix of super fancy and regular people stores. I love outdoor malls. We went there with the purpose of seeing the Big Christmas Tree. I am so excited for Christmas!

 Juan and I in front of the tree. Juan is needing to work on an actual smile, right? Or maybe he should start with looking like he's having a pleasant time, rather than looking like he's in pain. Love you.

And one more picture of Amelia, her first shiner!

I do not delight in her pain, but look how tough she looks! She was playing at a friend's and pulled down their bar stool on top of her. We were there, just couldn't get to her fast enough. She cried for maybe 1 minute. That's my girl.
