bike rides

The food, the weather, the views in Palm Springs...all incredible and exactly what I needed to decompress from work and so forth. Staying at the most hipster hotel on the planet helped too. And can I just say, offering free bike rentals to their guests is a genius move. We took turns with our friends, Runi and Thomas, riding the tandem and cruisin' the posh neighborhoods of Palm Springs like nobody's business...

weekend snapshots

Our dear friends, Runi and Thomas, stopped by for a quick visit on their way back to Austin yesterday...we always have way too much fun when we're all together, so of course I am beyond ecstatic that we just booked a couples trip to Palm Springs for later this fall. Lots of pool time and desert sunsets, here we come! Kyle and I also attempted to go mattress shopping for the first time...talk about pricey! Not to mention the sketchy mattress salesmen we spoke to and the scary factory/warehouse in the middle of nowhere...

Oh yeah, and we learned that Pancho has a thing for potato chips;)

two years

Happy 2nd Anniversary to the kindest, most thoughtful and loving man I've ever known. Another amazing year filled with memories that I wouldn't have wanted to share with anyone else, including: 

*Hellooo In-n-Out!

*Finding other owners who love their bulldogs as much as we do

*Grillin' like champs

*Going on bike rides with our friends in Palm Springs

*Dealing with the saddest, most painful experience ever

*Taking our first family portrait

*Our second xmas card (here's our first!)

*Celebrating his first birthday

*Decorating our house

*Having way too much fun with Pancho (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

*An upcoming trip to Tokyo!

Here's to #3...xo.

P.S. One year and our wedding...

These leather fringe earrings make me want to take another trip out to Palm Springs stat...talk about desert bohemian perfection.

ace hotel

I must have vacation on the brain because lately, I've been obsessively researching all the places we could go next. I desperately want to visit Palm Springs and stay at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club...talk about laid back, retro mid-century goodness. I've heard the people and the culture there are just fantastic too.

Then there's always Iceland...
