Austin's Greenbelt

Jerrett and I took Fender to the Greenbelt last weekend for a lovely hike and swim. And by lovely, I obviously mean horrendous since it was almost 100 degrees out that day. The swim part was lovely, the hike was not.

summertime sunflowers

Summertime has OFFICIALLY begun, which means the colors around Austin are absolutely amazing. I don't know how I haven't noticed this before (I'm going on year 7 of being an Austinite), but sunflowers are everywhere! I first noticed them in Jerrett's front yard. Now, I literally see them along roads all over the city. My mama taught me well and they are my favorite flower, so I'm glad to see them every day!

weekend excitement/Texas Forever

Here's how my weekend went:

Friday: Night out on the town with my main squeeze (at home, at Halcyon enjoying tabletop smores, getting a drink on Lanai's rooftop). What a lovely date night! 

Saturday: Watching the finale of Friday Night Lights courtesy of the Austin Television Festival (this is the festival's first year), Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow style (in a parking lot on a blow up screen). 

The evening included quite a few cast members as well: Jesse Plemons, Gaius Charles, Scott Porter, Michael B. Jordan, Matt Lauria, Madison Burge, Ernest James, Alicia Witt, executive producer Jason Katims, and the lovely Louanne Stephens (pictured). TEXAS FOREVER.

There were also random celebrity sightings of Jason Ritter and Judy Greer. The night ended, of course, with a brew at Doc's. Yum!
